The absolute best way to cut this off is to not be super friendly right from the get go. Smile and nod but don't reciprocate conversation too much, especially if it is not related to daycare. I had two clients like this and I nipped it in the bud pretty easiky by simply smiling and nodding and letting the convo die.

It is so much easier to stop this before it starts than later when the person is used to chatting with you trust me!
