Did You Take Tomorrow (NYE) As A Paid Holiday?

[DaycareMom]

I was just wondering how many people take New Year's Eve as a paid holiday. I know most people take New Year's Day...

One DCM is very surprised and a bit miffed that I took this day as a paid holiday.

[SilverSabre25]

No. we never do anything of note on NYE, and it's an "evening" event kind of day anyway, and this year it falls in the middle of the week.

[juliebug]

Yep I take it off every year and they pay

[WImom]

yes - both NYE and NYD closed and paid.

I didn't take the day of New Year's eve off but I was originally schedule to close at 3PM. My latest pickup is 4:30PM now and my overnight kids are on daytime hours this week so I decided just to stay open until 4:30.

I know the daycare centers in my area are all closed the day of New Year's Eve because I got a few calls for drop ins for that day.

yes, its been one of my paid holidays since I started my daycare 12 years ago. So of course today a parent who's been with me for 3 years walks in and says "oh, you are closed tomorrow?" with a look of surprise - same parent who brought child the day after xmas when parents AND siblings were all home playing with their new toys. :confused:

No, just New Years Day. If we do do anything, it's not until later. This year I'll only have 1 child tomorrow.

I don't do anything for either New Year's Eve or New Year's Day so I don't take them off. I have three children and two of them are young (one is 4mo and the other is 3yo) and going out just doesn't appeal to me. I'd rather stay home with my babies anyway. If I'm going to be home I don't feel the need to close.

I have one of those parents too. Dcb was here one day while mom, grandma, big brother, and grandpa were all at grandma's making cookies and he's here every day dcm has off. Oh well, what can you do?

[SSWonders]

I am open. Regular crew and 5 as kids.

[MotherNature]

I'm closed, but only because I managed my paid vacation weeks in there. I'm closed Jan 1, paid as a normal holiday, but I'm not normally closed on NYE.

[AcornMama]

No, but I'm getting it off anyway, as none of my dcks will be coming.

I did take off Wed as a paid holiday, but not NYE. My hubby has to work, most parents would, I'd think, so I'm willing to. But it turns out I won't have to.

[MrsSteinel'sHouse]

I took off NYD not eve. I have parents that work NYE but they are all off NYD. If I had a nurse or something that "had" to work I would consider it but luckily I don't.

I'm closed Eve and Day

I took of Christmas Eve and will open again on January 2nd. All paid days.
