Glad you are giving them a warning letter. That is just plain disrespectful.
Let us know how she reacts/responds. Good luck!
Does she talk to you like this at drop off? If so I'd say "You know what, Suzie, you're not allowed to talk to me like that in my house. Your mom is going to take you back outside and when you decide to show me some respect you can come back in." I'd open the door and usher mom and child back outside and close the door. If she's doing it at pick up put her on a 4 minute time out immediately and make mom wait it out.
Repeat as necessary. If mom doesn't want to deal with her child's disrespectful behavior on her own than MAKE her.
