[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]if parents are entitled to vacation time, what makes you think a daycare provider isnt? if it just so happens to fall during the 4th of july weekend, what of it? Lucky that she has notified this early, she could wait til the time came and then announce it!

if someone had an issue with my taking 4 weeks off i would tell them find someone else.  [/quote]

You don't sound very professional at all. You are running a business. If you only provide service for 48 weeks out of the year then you need to be upfront with your customers when they sign up for your services. Your clients are not lucky of you happen to notify them sometime in advance of just one day before you decide to be closed. Every well run in home daycare center that we saw had a printed schedule of holidays and vacation time outlined for the following year. If you are going to run a business you need some level of organizational ability. The ability to set a calendar is pretty simple. [/quote]

That is what happens when people are so stupid to ASSUME the worse.

My clients all know at the time of interview that I take 4 weeks off during the year. Two weeks are very well in place, thank you very much. The other two, ones taken during the summer, are announced at LEAST 2 months in advance if not more (Afterall I DID need to make reservations, right?) All my federal holidays are clearly spelled out in my contract. So before you ASSUME I am unprofessional, get all the facts before you make an ass of yourself.[/quote]
