I also think you should do a letter or email. I just closed my daycare and it was difficult. I didn't have a good excuse like moving either. I just didn't want to do it anymore. I had the letter in their cubbies at pick up time. I said to each one as they opened the door ready to leave: I have some tough news. Unfortunately I have to close my daycare. Here is a letter with all of the details and suggestions of local daycares with openings. Please take it home tonight and read it and let me know if you have any questions. This is very difficult for me as I'm sure it is for you too but just know it is nothing personal. Have a great night.... Then shut the door. Almost of them said, "oh ok." Text is too impersonal for this. You can word it in a way that doesn't open doors for questions.
