[quote=Anonymous]We have our 10 month old at a daycare in upper NW DC, and as I was going through the calendar for this upcoming 12 months marking dates so we weren't surprised by any, I noticed that the students get a full week off in end of July (not around 4th of July time), a full week off in the end of March, and week and a half off over Christmas/holiday season, 3 days off over Thanksgiving, and a handful of other days for of course every holiday but also 3-4 teacher in-service days.

That's at least 4-5 weeks of lack of coverage throughout the year, biggest concerns being the full week in July, full week in March, and week and a half over the holidays. We don't have family in the area that can assist us with childcare during the weeks so I have just noticed the days REALLY add up, since I will need to take those off from work.

The cost of course does not change per month on months there are breaks this daycare is typical DC range in mid-$2000s.

Is this normal? Please tell me it is so I feel less overwhelmed. I have just been thinking about shopping daycares anyway, but I'd like to know if these "daycare closed" time frames are standard.[/quote]
