    Please keep in mind that I'm a newbie care provider (beginning this September), but I am a university communications professor. It is in this role that I respond. I wouldn't begin with "Hope you are having a great week!" Seems callous given that you are giving bad news. I am not for a second suggesting you are callous, I expect this is causing you a lot of stress. I'm a neutral third-party, that's all.
    Also, I feel you sound too apologetic, as though you really aren't sure you are doing the right thing. You sound tentative.
    How about something like this:

    I am very sorry to let you know that as of September I will be unable to provide any after school care, as my business plan simply does not afford me that luxury any longer. It has been a pleasure having your child in my day home, and I do wish you all the best as you find other care arrangements for your child. This is one of those times when I wish government regulations did not require me to restrict the numbers of children in my care.
    Best,
    Your name

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.
Did you know?
On average, a listing is viewed each month by more than 20 parents looking for an available opening for their child!
