I have to agree it's a little stickler. Even though it's a text, it IS written. However, I would want something for my files and I would still request something in writing that is signed and have the ability to put it into file for future reference if ever needed. Texts can get lost, accidentally deleted etc.

I have a form that I give parents when they enroll for when the time comes they no longer need care they can just sign and date and return to me.

In your case, I'd accept the text as the notification, but also have them sign a termination letter to keep on file which would be effective from the date they sent the text.
