So I my dayhome has previously been a strictly before and after school program, however, I am moving into the direction of providing care for 0-4 year old only. I have already told all of my current families, but wanted to put a thank you letter in my FB group to thank them for the opportunity and to ask for written reference letters. I came up with the following. Could you please let me know if it sounds alright, if you would add or take out anything, etc. Thanks in advance.
Dear Parents,
With the school year coming to an end, as well as the end of my before and after school services, I wanted to thank you all for choosing and trusting me to take care of your children over the last several years.
I have enjoyed watching the boys change and grow up. I loved listening to the latest school gossip and complaints about their teachers. The highlight of my day was sitting at the table with the kids at the end of the school day, listening to how their day went, what they did on the weekend, who was bad at school, or whose dad spent time in jail,
. What an interesting conversation that was!! 
I will miss it, but, I have decided to move forward in providing full time daycare for 0-4 year olds.
If you were happy with the level of care I am providing or have provided, I would love it if you would email me a reference letter (or an update, if you had previously written one) for future families. I am finding that parents seem to prefer the letters over the reference list, so, if you wouldn’t mind doing this, I would really appreciate it.
Anyways, thank you all again for giving me the opportunity to watch your children and for the opportunity to gain actual dayhome experience. I know that if it wasn’t for all of you, I wouldn’t be able to move forward in the direction I am moving now, so THANK YOU!!!

Okay, so how does it sound?
