Ada for telling my child's daycare teacher that my child won't finish cleaning up?

My two-year-old daughter has been in a home daycare for a few months now. The teacher, Sasha, is very nice. I'm normally all for my daughter cleaning up her own messes.

However, I find that when I arrive, Sasha expects my daughter to finish cleaning up whatever she was playing with.

This would be fine, but it delays us getting out the door and heading home, which can be a problem if we have plans.

I started texting Sasha when I was a few minutes away, asking her to get my daughter ready. That seemed to work.

My daughter would be in her jacket and reading a book, which is easy to put away compared to a huge duplow project, or something similar. Until today, things were crazy and I was in a rush.

We had a lot to do this afternoon and I was running behind because I had car trouble.

When I arrived, my daughter and some friends were in the middle of cleaning up a big mess. I told my daughter that we had to go and get her coat.

Sasha said she needed to finish cleaning up her part. I said any other day, sure, but I am running late and we cannot miss this appointment. Sasha tried arguing that the kids need to learn responsibility, and I flat out said no.

I grabbed my daughter, put her coat on, and left. As I said hectic afternoon, so I only just now had time to check my texts.

I had one from Sasha saying poor planning on my part. It doesn't mean I can break rules. I pointed out this is not in the contract and I can bring my child home whenever I want.

She accused me of undermining her authority. I was given a verbal warning, which I found ridiculous
