I call my list of 'stat' days - Closed Daycare Paid Holidays - in my contract and they are listed and it states that if the day falls on the weekend the following business day is taken in lieu of the actual date.. For instance next month July 1st falls on Sunday so I'm closed on Monday. Also, in my newsletters I have important dates listed and this reminds the parents of any upcoming holidays I am closed.

The parents have it all listed on the contract so they can book off any days they don't have as holidays with their employers. I have one Mom who works for the Federal government so she doesn't get Family Day but I take it off, then she gets Remembrance Day off, but I don't take that one off. You just do your best to inform the parents and then they have to deal with booking their days off.
