[quote=Anonymous]Our DC $$$ center closes for 2 weeks at Christmas, one week in July, and all Federal holidays. We knew this going into the arrangement. For Christmas, usually my MIL comes into town for the second week it's closed and helps out. This year we will just work remotely at her place for those two weeks. We take a family vacation the week in July. And I have all federal holidays off. Centers that have this kind of leave for their workers generally are better employers and retain better workers. Is it a little annoying? Sure. But nowhere near as annoying as school breaks once your kid hits elementary school.

I remember asking another center and she said they didn't close at all except on Christmas, and "please come get your kid earlier in the day on Christmas eve, if you can." She also said their turnover was high. Something along the lines of "well, this is childcare."

Our center, by contrast, has the same employees year after year (we are approaching year 4 with a kid in the center). We like paying for a daycare that values its staff's personal lives, too.[/quote]
