I have it stated in my contract that "The terms of the contract are subject to changes at any time. Should changes be made you will be given the opportunity to review and agree to the new terms."

You should never give control to a parent as to how to run your business. It's not up to them to tell you how many kids you can handle. I would take that right out of your contract, revie anything you want to make changes to and get parents to sign. If they don't want to sign it then that is them giving you their notice and you fill their spot with another family to your standards.
