I wish I had ideas, but as you said, you paid her for three weeks. You technically owe her for one week, so perhaps offer her that.
I can't understand why she wouldn't have just kept your child for the month, since it's already paid, she would have gotten one more week's pay, and been able to spend a month with your daughter before she left.
Did you cancel the agreement on bad terms? Maybe you were abrasive? That still wouldn't make up for her overreaction, but I'm just throwing that out there.
If you had her EIN number last year, you still have it for this year.
The parent doesn't owe the provider since the original contract says two weeks and the parent paid for 3. The parent opted to withdraw when provider tried to change the two weeks notice to four. Parent never agreed to 4.
Provider owes parent for one week as parent has already paid for 3 and is contractually obligated to only pay for 2 weeks per signed contract.
