I agree with respecting the lines of professional distance from clients you can have a relationship without getting TOO personal - you can be honest without being BRUTALLY honest

I would also thank them for the invite and send my regrets that I am otherwise committed that day and leave it at that ... IMO that is the HONEST truth - you are committed to something else they just do not need to know the brutal truth that you are committed to painting your toes that day because you do not want to spend your weekend and down time around a bunch of kiddies at a birthday party

Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

		A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
