If I termed a family, there was a valid reason. She may not have the energy to keep up with your son. She may find you too lax (I have parents who are and it is NOT a good fit. I do not like being told to shut up by a 3yo) I am very old school. I expect respect and manners and that is how I model my behavior to the children.

My advice? Find another child care arrangement.

She was probably expecting you to enroll older child in kindergarten, and keep the younger child (I am assuming 2 here because you pay for three spaces when you need 2) Now that you aren't putting him in K, she doesn't want to do it another year.

In addition- everyone has an age group that they enjoy and work well with. Mine is 2-4. I have provider friends who do 0-2 only and 5+ only.
