2 weeks for each seems like a lot. My kids went to a home day care for years - the closed on federal holidays, one week in the summer, and for the period between christmas and new years.

2 weeks EACH? I don't think thats normal at all! One week in the summer, one in the winter is what I think is normal

Yes, it completely normal. They need breaks too. I can't imagine watching children all day long with only one or two weeks vacation a year, I would be completely burnt out.

Yes definitely normal. Two weeks around the holidays and then two weeks of their choice another time in the year for ours plus federal holidays

Ours usually does a two-week winter break and one-week spring break, in line with the FCPS breaks. Also all fed holidays.

Is the two weeks in the winter timed with Christmas/New Years, or in addition to that?

Yes it’s normal. Ours pairs with other inhome daycares that you can use during the breaks

Hi all,

I'm currently looking at an in-home daycare for my 8-month old son. The daycare is closed for two weeks in the summer and two weeks in the winter. Is that normal? I know daycare providers need vacation time, too, but I thought it was usually two weeks per year. Thanks in advance!
