I would take control of the situation
Hi mom Johnny had a great day today, he's got his shoes on ready to go, we will see you guys tomorrow and walk away to care for the other children.
If they start to ask questions then say I would love to answer any questions for you, please feel free to call me at ----- or email me. I have other children to still care for and need my attention
Thanks so much for understanding I'll see you guys tomorrow.
Walk away. They will get used to it.
I also ask that If they need to talk to me that they schedule an appt.

Parents expect me to watch their kids from open to close, so I don't have time for 10-15 min conversations with each parent. However I tell them this up front.

Also, if there is an issue I need to talk about. I require they make an appt with me. If a child gets into trouble. I just say. Johnny did not hVe a great day today, several things we need to work on, however tomorrow is a new day and we an try for a better day tomorrow. Walk away. Bye bye
