[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think it's annoying though when providers don't schedule the same week every year in the summer.  Ours would tell us about 2 months in advance and each year it was a different week and even different month and there was no easy way to plan for it.  Luckily we were able to find a solution, but like all preschools that have a set vacation day schedule, I think a daycare provider should do the same or arrange for some sort of backup arrangement.  Ours helped us find other arrangements so in the end I wasn't too put off by the whole thing.[/quote]

Well, unlike a center, us providers need to be able to not only get the best deals we can get out there for our vacation as well as the possiblity the week we may want is not available the following year. Lots of factors. Maybe we are planning around other family members who are traveling with. Or maybe a spouses schedule. While I can pretty much get the same week off, I cant nor will guarantee it. 2 months notice is more than enough time IMHO. Every year I took off 4th july week, but then either my DH couldnt take off because someone else asked for that week before he could, or we couldnt afford the extra charges the hotel did during the week of a holiday. It is what it is. [/quote]
