Hi everyone :)
I was just wondering to see what other daycare providers are doing for vacation days in the Kitchener area. I currently give all my families 2 weeks free vacation, I stay opened for minor stat holidays and give the parents the option of coming but they still have to pay if they don't come, lastly they don't have to pay for my vacation time when I am gone. I want to change everything about this lol I think 2 weeks is too long and to be truthful I don't want to give any free days, I want to be closed for all stat holidays as well......I am already open for 12 hours a day (6 am-6 pm) and feel I am really close to burning out.....not from the kids mainly from the parents.....The only reason I stayed open for stat holidays is because I don't want to loose even more money as people will expect not to pay me....I have been asked this before "why would I pay you if your not opened" or "why should I pay if my child isn't coming".....ummm lol any advice will be greatly appreciated!!
