[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daycare closes for all Federal holidays, as well as some religious holidays that we don't observe. [b]We don't get any Federal holidays off of work[/b], so this tends to be a big pain for us. Nevertheless, my question is that despite the numerous daycare holiday closings, we still have to pay the regularly weekly rate. The daycare is closed for a week and a half over the Christmas holiday, and we are still being charged. This is a LOT of money, plus a big pain because again, we don't have off this whole time. Does your daycare charge you for these vacation days? Thanks for your input! We are new to daycare so don't know how things usually work.[/quote]

really you don't get any federal holidays off?? No july 4th? Christmas? where do you work? I work for a private company and don't get federal holidays like Veterans day off but I get all the mayor ones and some floating. My daycare gives us a full list ahead of time so we know what days they are closed.

when we were at a home daycare she took every federal holiday and a week of paid vacation a year. For her vacation we found out 2 months in advance and always planed our own vaction for the same week. Did it sort of suck to pay for daycare for a week when we weren't using it? sure a little, but I also saw it as me being an employer and her as my employee. My employer pays me for vacations, sick days, federal holidays and days when there is no work for me. So I think it is only fair to extend those benefits to my "employee." I would also rather my daycare take a week of paid vacation then no time off at all. Everyone needs a break and people who care for children all day long are no exception.
