I'm sorry that this happened to you.

IMHO, take it for what it's worth, YOU did nothing wrong. The MOTHER was at fault, end of story.

Let her call licensing on you. I really doubt there is anything they could do besides tell you not to do it again.

I actually had this happen as a parent. My dh was in a car accident, couldn't get to the kids, provider took the kids to a school play. Back before cell phones, so she left a note on her front door. It cost me $30 for the kids to watch a school play, but oh, well, they were being taken care of.

Term the family and move on if you can. Put it in your contract/handbook, policies that you will not miss your children's school functions for the parents convenience.
