    The iffy days I'm closed for are Easter Monday, Christmas Eve Day and Family Day but not Remembrance Day. I have a dcMom who works for the federal government and they don't get Family Day but they do get Remembrance Day. You can't please everyone so do what is best for you.

    I started closing for the Christmas Eve Day because a family took advantage of me and kept their child here all day so they could finish their shopping. I have things to do and a family too! As long as it's listed in your contract parents can book the day off with their employer when they book their vacations. I haven't had any complaints from my clients.

    I close Easter Monday (as well as Good Friday, of course). I was thinking I should remind parents of that this week, because some of them may not check their contract to see my list of paid stat holidays. I also take Family Day as a paid stat. I don't charge for Christmas Eve day because I take two weeks unpaid vacation between about December 20th and the first week of January, so they don't pay for New Year's Day either. I do not close for Remembrance Day.

    I close with fees paid on Easter Monday. Like Momof4, I also close with pay on Christmas Eve (I just added that this year) and I also close with pay Family Day and Rememberance Day (added that this year too).

    I have Easter Mon listed as a day that I MAY close. I am not this year, because I just re-opened at the beginning of the month. LoL

A few tips...

If you visited or if you're using a childcare provider found on DaycareBear, do not hesitate to leave a review. This will most certainly help other parents!
