I'd never have parents tell me I couldn't do field trips so I would have ditched the family a long time ago.
I'd throw together a contract and be ready for when she comes to you and requests the rate change and lets you know about the new situation.
I'd make her pay the current rate for 2 more weeks - because the short notice is not cool.
I'd tell her you can drop her rate and she can provide all care outside of the new schedule (meaning SHE handles snow days, early dismissal etc) (this way you can still take in another full time kid
OR lower the rate - but when there is a snow day charge an increased fee.

The way I work is I have full time rate and before/after school rate. They are incredibly different rates. If there is a snow day then the before/after school kid pays the full time rate for that one day.
