2017 Holidays You're Taking Off?

[LittleScholars]

I'm interested in what holidays providers take off (I'm renewing my handbook to give out shortly).

New Year's Day 2017 falls on a Sunday. Do you close the Monday after? Similarly, Christmas Day falls on a Sunday. Are you closed the Monday after?

Thanks so much!

If a holiday falls on a weekend I don't take the day before or after and I don't charge for it either. I take New Years,Mlk, Memorial, the 4th, Labor, Veterans, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

I close Christmas Eve and Christmas Day/NYE and NY so if both days fall on the weekend I will be closed the friday before and the monday after.

If a major holiday falls on a Sunday, I observe the Monday after. If Saturday, I observe the Friday before. Typically, unless the parents work in an industry that doesn't observe holidays, (eg: nursing) they will have the day off too. I don't short myself holidays just because one falls on a weekend.

If New Year's Day is on the weekend I don't bother with it. I close Dec 25 & 26, so if Christmas is on a Saturday I close Christmas Eve as a makeup. My yearly holiday closures are:

New Year's Day
My Birthday
My Anniversary
Memorial Day
July 4th
Labor Day
Thanksgiving and the Friday after
Christmas and December 26th

If a holiday falls on a Saturday, I close on the Friday before to observe it. If a holiday is on a Sunday, I close on the Monday following to observe it.

I close:
New Years Day
Good Friday
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving
Black Friday (it is not worth it for me to open for maybe 1 kid on this day)
Christmas Eve
Christmas Day

My 3 day summer vacation is in the middle of July, and I will close from Wednesday, November 15th to Wednesday November 22nd for my wedding, and then Thanksgiving and Black Friday are the 23rd and 24th.

New Years Day
Memorial Day
July 4th
Labor Day
Thanksgiving and Black Friday
Christmas Eve, Christmas and Dec 26

I don't take an extra day if they are on a weekend. I do have 4 paid sick days and take 2 weeks of paid vacation, one in the spring, one in the summer (its next week )

So helpful!

These replies are so helpful! I didn't really have a sense of what was typical.

I'm confused...for 2017 Christmas Day falls on Monday.

Sorry, I meant Christmas 2016. I renew my handbook over the summer so we start the school year out with any necessary revisions (most of my kiddos are gone over the summer).

July 4th is on a Tuesday in 2017. Will anyone take Monday off too?
My DH had the 4th and 5th off this year (2016) and I regret not closing for the 5th also.

I take my week long summer vacation over the week of the 4th of July.

In 2017 I will close July 3-7

Yeah, I'm thinking about a vacation too, it's the right time of year for a break. That way it's not an awkward week, otherwise, I would be open the Monday before and the Wednesday after.

I do the same! I also do early pickup on Halloween, my ds is still very young so early trick or treat and time to get ready. And this year I took off my bday and his so we can do something fun.
