    What days do you close your daycare?

    I am re-writing my daycare contract for next year and would like to add more days off for myself. I was wondering what days you guys close, how many days you take for vacation days, and how many total days you close per year.

    I take all stat holidays (I am in Canada), 5 personal days a year which I will use for illnesses or book long weekends over the summer to go to the lake and 3 weeks of vacation time. So 30 days per year.

      I have the following paid holidays:
      New Year's Day
      Martin Luther King's Birthday
      President's Day
      Memorial Day
      4th of July
      Labor Day
      Thanksgiving & the day after
      Christmas Eve, Christmas & the day after

      If the holiday falls on the weekend, then I take the Monday or Friday off instead

      I usually take 3 days during the summer for a long weekend and several Fridays here and there through out the year for a 3 day weekend. These days are unpaid, so I try to limit them to 5 days/year.

          I close for 10 statutory holidays (if they fall on a weekend, I close the Friday prior or Monday following); I close for 5 consecutive vacation days in the summer months and 5 consecutive vacation days in the winter months (determined and announced January of each year so parents can plan) and I can close for up to 5 days for sick/personal or emergency time. All of this is paid. So I can be closed for up to 25 days each year. I am available the other 240 or so!

            What do you do if New Years/4th of July fall on a weekend?

            Also are you just taking the week of Christmas off this year since it falls during the week?
