Dear Childcare Network Leadership Team,

We are writing as parents who deeply care about the well-being and development of our children at Childcare Network #065. Over the past year, Candes Hailey has become a vital part of our kids’ lives—offering kindness, expert care, and true stability during such formative years.

In a time when teacher turnover has continued to be unusually high at our facility, Miss Candes has been a source of consistency and comfort for our children. Her ability to connect with each child, foster their growth, and provide a safe, nurturing environment is truly remarkable. She has earned not just our respect, but also the love and trust of so many little ones.

We understand that internal policies may be creating a challenge, but we humbly ask for thoughtful reconsideration in this unique case. Miss Candes has been transparent about her family connection, and we believe her professionalism and performance demonstrate her commitment to upholding the highest standards.

Change is always hard for kids, and losing Miss Candes would be especially difficult after so much recent turnover. Respectfully, our children have been through enough. We believe her continued presence is essential not just for our children’s happiness, but for their ability to thrive here at Childcare Network.

We are confident a solution can be found that keeps Miss Candes with the families she has already impacted so profoundly. As parents, we are united in our desire to work collaboratively with you to ensure the best possible outcome for our children, and we are more than happy to discuss this further. Thank you for considering how much Miss Candes means to our kids, our families, and our Childcare Network community.

With gratitude,

The below signed parents of Childcare Network #065

Reaching this level of support feels heavy but necessary. My eyes are tired from reading these stories yet I am finding the resolve to keep pushing forward for our children.

It has been a pleasure working with Candes since being back from maternity leave in the classroom and being her co teacher. I have learned so much from her. I see the children love her and so do the parents. I know the upcoming preschoolers that I had in twos will love having her as their teacher when they move up. I’m praying I get to continue to work with her. Please do whatever that is possible to keep Miss Candes around. Kind regards Mrs. Morgan

As Executive Director for senior living I understand today struggle with staff turnover. However this is an associate that followed protocol and disclosed relationship to other associate. This was accommodated and accepted upon hire. I'd be cautious in moving foward with dismissal or forced transfer. I respectfuly request you stand behind your intial decisiin to allow. Seems like some internal retaliation towns here. Your facility is borderline with state inspection and violations. You need her experience for the weel being of over one. Keep it simple and allow her to continue the wonderful work she does daily for our children!!!!

My daughter has dealt with behavioral issues over the past month due in large part to the immense teacher turnover in her classroom. She is in 3s and we’ve been so looking forward to getting her to KPA with Candes where she will finally have stability with a teacher who really connects with her. Please don’t take that from my daughter.

My granddaughter connected with Candes immediately. She was her teacher for a bit before all of the transitions started. My granddaughter and all of her precious friends deserve the most stable environment within your control. Miss Candes staying is within your control. Please do the right thing.

This is my friend's son's teacher, and he absolutely loves her as I've heard all the kids and parents do. Please let her stay!

Candes is a rock for my daughter! Far and away her favorite teacher. In a period when turnover is already high and creating dysfunction why are you adding to the problem?!

Please keep Miss Candes! She is such a vital asset to my child’s happiness at this preschool. She was instrumental in making the hard transition to preschool for Connor so much easier. Her care, passion, and professionalism are top notch. Without her, it is likely Connor would not feel settled and may force us to look for a new preschool. Thank you for your consideration in keeping Candes at this location as she is such an asset to this community. Sincerely, Erin Hopkins
