I changed my Stat Days to Closed Paid Days in my contract because I added Easter Monday and Christmas Eve Day a few years ago. They aren't stats. But you have to remember that the federal government doesn't get Family Day as a stat and they do get Remembrance Day. I have one of those Moms in my daycare. I'm open Remembrance Day.
Put the closed paid days in your contracts and parents will know they have to book those days off with their employers every year if they don't normally get them off. Done!
I explain to parents that they will be paying full weekly fees all year long no matter if there are holidays of any kind, sick or missed days for any reason except when I am closed for vacation. Simple!
