Guest guest Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 We as daycare providers can refuse to provide care for any reason....to be honest. But if she hasnt said anything and you have the required forms, so if she's audited again her butt is covered, it should be fine. Carlena Childcare - WA State Hey all: I have been squeaking by w/out my occasional daycare provider asking me about vaccines. When my daughter was little I did a slower, first-year schedule (stupid); so I had the proof of vaccs. I wised up and I haven't done any since the 12-mo vaccs... She's 3-years-old now and my husband finally found a job and we need to start her back to daycare - Monday! I called the lady and she said she needed an updated vaccine list. I explained that I don't intend to vaccinate and that I am using one of the exemptions allowed in WA State. She is an older lady that doesn't probably truly understand WHY I wouldn't want to vacc and she was also audited by the State last year and found to be deficient in a few of the required forms, so she is a stickler now. The National Vaccine Network says WA State is just a form that I sign, claiming my exemption. The WA Dept of Health site lists the new legislation from 7/2011, requiring your doctor to sign the exemption. I called the doctor and luckily got an appt. for Monday a.m. and explained why I was coming in. So, sorry for the length, but here is the question finally - Can the daycare lady refuse us? She is licensed by the State and all that jazz. I just love this lady...she is the 3rd daycare I have taken my daughter to - the other 2 didn't do the things I asked.
