If I were your provider and you pulled your child from my care, I'd send you to collections for nonpayment.
But it depends on what if any plan of action the provider and parent had about notice for early pick up, how often it happens and what the provider will do if the parent can't pick up early.
Simply saying I want you (the parent) to leave work early every time I ask you, even with short notice is not a legal binding agreement/
