What I would say:
"Feel free to bring invitations to the farewell party that you will be throwing at your house and I will make sure that each child gets one."
What I'd want to say:
everything above plus "WE at daycare will definitely be having a party ... in celebration of your departure. You will not be on the guest list"- Flag

They are refusing to pay me for a cancellation fee that is in my contract. They are saying that I termed them, but they termed me (without a term date), and already have another dc lined up, and I simply gave them an end date based on various things they told me they wanted.
I made an executive decision, given all that they are doing and saying to me right now, that it is worth any cost just to have them out of my house. MY house.
However, if the check for actual care is not good, I plan to sue for the entire amount, per my contract. I have never sued anyone before.- Flag

I have been paid for the actual days of care. (If the check is good. I ran it to the bank last night, early. Too bad, so sad, you wrote it and gave it to me.)

Print off copies of all those emails, save any texts. You may need them.
What is your cancellation fee?- Flag

I have done that. Plus documented a lot of the happenings at dropoff and pickup. My fee is not the standard two weeks, and I also contract differently than many. I think providers need to move away from the standard because it does not reflect the time that it takes us to replace a client. Mine is based on their regular fee, theirs amounts to three weeks. They could have avoided it all by just being honest with me, I would have told them how to structure their leaving. But they lied instead, and now they are all (butt-hurt, for lack of a better word) and it's all gone downhill.- Flag

Yikes.
I would call their latest check the cancellation fee and end care today. Tell them you did have a party, a few hours ago.- Flag

I would do at the very least do a small one during day care hours maybe without parents to avoid drama, but not punish the child for the parents behavior. Tell the parent the parent included parties are for the children moving on to kindergarden, and/or have been there for X amount of time.- Flag

If you do it for everyone, and the child knows this... he/ she could take it personally and could be heartbroken that they didn't get one. Things like this are a big deal for small children.

(Their older child also came here.)
