You reference the contract - that is what you agreed to with respect to early termination and other matters.

Nothing the manager said matters. Your rights are in the contract. If it allows you to cancel, whatever the contract says applies. If it does nota llow you to cancel or sets fees, you are bound by those. If the center is breaking the contract, hire a lawyer oontact the Georgia Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs.
