I value your opinions, so here we go. (Sorry about the length.)
DCB (almost 3) at home is impulsive, very aggressive, whines, hits DCM, breaks & throws things. He isn't as verbal as he should be & DCM said really doesn’t work with him on things. (He uses his hands at home to eat spaghetti.) DCM takes him to the kitchen, he points out what he wants to eat & she feeds him that. (She told me all of this.)
1st two days here he screamed & threw a tantrum. Now he follows the rules for the most part. His 1st Steps teacher comes here once a week, said it is night & day on his behavior. (I am a friend of the teacher btw.) She said he has learned more here in the last 4 months than the last year at home. She said she cannot get him to sit still at home because he can do what every he wants there. He is learning to talk & use utensils now.
The last 2 weeks he has been acting up here. He will try to hit, push, toy snatch, etc when he thinks I'm not looking. He knows right from wrong. I ask DCM if he is on any new meds or change in the home life. NO is her reply. She is no help. I sent him home for aggressive behavior & cannot come back for 24 hours. When he returned he was like any other DCB3. So far so good.
Fast forward. I live in a small town & learned she is now talking negative about my DC at work. Statements like her son is a good boy & NEVER acts like that at home, he minds her, maybe she should find a new DC, etc. I haven't said anything to her yet because I am on the verge of a vacation & do not want drama before I go. I have only shared this with the teacher & she wants me to keep him because DCM does nothing for his development.
As I said, I value your opinions. This is a business. I cannot not afford to have someone talk negative about my livelihood. How would handle the situation? Time will tell about DCB’s recent behavior.

What a bratty mom.
. I'd definitely be hurt, but clearly this woman doesn't want to take responsibility for her child. It's not an uncommon situation...how many times have we heard "DCK picked up this and that (insert bad habit, bad words, illness) from daycare" knowing full well it came from home.
