You did sign the contract, but that doesn't mean that you have no clout. If the provider won't be understanding, you can always let others know the facts of your experience. I don't mean to be a witch, but if she advertises on a place where you can leave feedback or if you have a parent forum that you participate on, you can let others know to not get their foot in the same trap as you.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're inferring here.
Or at least I'm hoping I don't understand.
Are you saying he/she should threaten a bad review to get their way?

It's true that you did sign the contract, but also you are not responsible for market conditions in your area. You are not responsible for what the provider chooses to do for a living, so I wouldn't worry about that aspect of it.
The facts also suggest the OP had opportunity to read the contract and BE an informed consumer before agreeing to enter into a business relationship. Why was 3 months notice acceptable 4 years ago but not
now when it actually applies to her/him?
Throwing an online tantrum and essentially trashing someone who cared for your child for 4 years... just because you didn't feel like her exiting policies (that you agreed to) are fair is absolutely ludicrous. It would show more about your lack of character rather than her unwillingness to break her own contract.
