MB/DB flipping kiddos schedule constantly

First let me say, I LOVE my nanny fam. They are wonderful! We see eye to eye on almost everything.

I take care of three awesome little guys, but my issue is with the middle guy. He is 3, somewhat advanced mentally and totally advanced physically. He is a bigger guy and very used to playing rough with dad and big brother. The family frequently takes vacation (like once every three months). They tend to keep the kids in lots of activities. Over the last year a lot has changed for them! A new baby, a nanny, moving to a new home and mom getting a new job! 3yro's behavior at school and home Changed about three months ago, he got more physical and a little sassier. Part of it is being three and we also believing there is a little acting out going on too.. Understandable. He was having accidents at school and crying before drop off so they pulled him out three weeks ago. He was home with me the first two and they were on Vaycay last week. So things haven't been very consistent for him.

My boss asked that I sign him up for some activities, so he choose two things he would like to do and we were suppose to begin this week... After getting things organized while I was on vacation so he could begin this week (and keeping them
Updated every step of the way via text) they apparent decided he would go back to prek the days I had scheduled his activities.

Something similar to this happened over the summer with camps/summer prek

I just feel like they don't give him the opportunity to adjust before they decide to change things on him. He's three! And very unlike
His adabtable older brother, it takes him a little time to get into a routine.

I'm not sure if they would think I was stepping on their toes if I offered that advice, but I just feel for the kid. He just gets excited about something or into something and they change the game plan on him

Any opinions would be awesome

Woops I didn't go back and look before posting, excuse my grammar and spelling mistakes...

Also I forgot to mention, part of the reason they pulled him from prek was because he was trying to rough house with the other kids and hurting them instead of playing with them

I don't know that there's much you can do. If they let you know ahead of time that they're thinking about it, maybe ask if you can take another couple of weeks to work with him before they pull him out.

I understand the desire to pull kids from school when they're behaving badly, especially when they're being rough with other children. It doesn't do any good, though. My nanny family pulled my three year old charge for the same reason this past spring. He started at a new preschool this fall, and guess what. He's still exactly the same child having exactly the same behavior problems at school. If anything, his behavior is worse. This is something you just have to suck up and let the parents deal with. Now, if they pull him again, maybe you could say something.
