    I chose, to be closed on

    Christmas
    New Years Day
    Thanksgiving
    Day after Thanksgiving

    These holidays I do not charge the client. However all other holidays I am open I charge for.

    I am closed:
    New year's Day
    MLK
    Pres Day (yay, tomorrow!)
    Memorial Day
    I don't provide summer care or I would list July 4
    Labor Day
    Thanksgiving & day after
    Christmas Eve & Christmas Day, & usually the 26th too

    I don't charge for these days; however, I do charge if a parent calls off with short notice no matter the reason.

          I don't get any paid sick days nor vacation time. I don't charge for my vacation time either. However...I'm thinking of adding 5 paid sick days per year when I'm ready to revise my contract.

            I'm closed AND paid for:

            New Year's Day
            July 4th
            Thanksgiving and the day after
            Christmas Eve
            Christmas Day

            Also, I take up to two weeks of paid vacation

            No sick days. If I close unexpectedly parents are not required to pay. The parents can take vacation and do not have to pay as long as they give me the required notice.

                  I am closed

                  New yrs eve and day
                  Christmas Eve and day
                  Memorial Day
                  Labor Day
                  Fourth of July
                  Good Friday and Easter Monday ( just added Monday this yr)
                  Thanksgiving and the day after

                  I think that's it I also take 12 days paid. And am normally closed on Fridays during the summer. When I interview I tell them on the phone and ask if they have good back up care otherwise I won't be a good fit for them.

                    I chose to have these holidays off and paid:

                    New Years Day
                    Memorial Day
                    4th of July
                    Labor Day
                    Thanksgiving Day and the day after
                    Christmas Eve and Day

                    I also close
                    One week in the summer-paid vacation
                    One week unpaid vacation with notice(anytime)
                    5 personal/sick/continuing ed. days-if needed
                    Full time families get one week of vacation free.

                    I just opened, so we'll see how this goes!

                          Tuition is going to be paid 52 weeks per year for my daycare.

                          Vacation days will be:
                          MLK Day
                          Presidents' Day
                          Memorial Day
                          July 4th
                          Labor Day
                          Columbus Day
                          Veterans' Day
                          Thanksgiving and the day after
                          Christmas and the Day after
                          New Year's Day

                          Christmas Eve and New Years Eve I am closing at 3pm.

                          I am also planning on taking 2 weeks vacation and clients have up to 5 "free" days with no tuition.

                          These holidays and vacations are pretty standard in my area. (although some do not give clients any free days)
