I think right now she needs to think about what is best for her and her business. NOW they have told her they don't like the increase and decided to look elsewhere. Once again though, I don't know that this is reason to terminate them, but I think the real issue is the way they are treating her NOW that they've told her this.
If their behavior or attitude remain this way, it's creating a hostile environment. Therefore, grounds for termination. It's always awkward finishing up the last days when you know a child is leaving for another provider no matter the situation. But if it's beyond awkward, and it's affecting the care of the child, then she has every right to decide to term.
