Wanting to change contract - WWYD?

[Sandbox Sally]

Ok, you guys bring up good points, but to be honest, I was expecting other providers to say that a contract's a contract.

So what does this mean for me? For them? Does it mean my contract can be changed any time I want it to change? The parents are locked in, but I am able to bend the rules to which we both agreed whenever I feel like it? Not being snotty, just playing devil's advocate.

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.
