Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

Violation of confidentiality agreement

A fellow parent at my son's daycare center complained to the director that I was spending too much time at the center with my child. I feed my son dinner at the center before driving him home. The center has an open door policy and states in their customer handbook that families have unlimited visitation of their child. The center also has a confidentiality agreement stating that the center will not disclose information regarding any of the children to anyone.

I was contacted by the regional manager and asked to limit time with my son to 30 minutes. The RD also told the complaining family that they were doing this. Is this a violation of my rights to unlimited visitation & didn't they break their own confidentiality agreement by discussing me and & my child with the other family?

Unless the facility initiated the conversation with the other parent about your child or revealed something about your child to the other parent it will be a hard argument to make that the facility breached some type of duty towards you. If this facility isn't serving your needs, it would probalby be the most efficient use of your time and resources to find another facility that fits you better.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.

That is certainly fdifficult to tell you in this limited space...most particularly becasue you speak of an "agreement" ....what does it say? That is crucial to any analysis.

Good Luck
