[quote=Anonymous]It's standard, as everyone's said. And quite honestly, all daycares charge for vacation time, whether directly or indirectly--they're either asking you to pay a flat monthly fee for all months (most common in my experience) or they're charging you week by week, but adjusting rates to allow them to cover vacations and other benefits for employees or other expenses related to running the business. Either way it comes down to what you're comfortable paying and what you're getting for that. I would also not be in a position to choose a daycare closed for four weeks of the year, though; I don't have enough vacation to cover that time, so I'd be paying double for alternate care, and I can't afford to do that either. Two weeks works well, though--we try to plan our family vacation around one of them, and then the other DH and I split taking time off to cover it. That leaves us enough vacation time left to cover sick days and the like. [/quote]
