I call them Closed Daycare Days in my contract because they are not all stats. Some of mine are Easter Monday, Family Day, Christmas Eve Day, but not Remembrance Day. I have a total of 15 paid closed days and as you can see, not all of them are stats. Also, I have a federal employee as a daycare Mom so she gets Remembrance Day off but not Family Day.

All my closed days are clearly written at the top of my contract and when I write a letter to my dcparents in Dec. to advise them of my closed vacation days for the next year I remind them to check the contract for my closed days that their employer may not recognize as stat days. I do this as a courtesy for my clients so that when their employers ask them what days they want to book off the next year they can also book off my closed paid days as needed.

Exactly this. Except this year I added Rememberance Day as well since my husband is off. You can take any days you want to as long is it ic clear in your contract and parents know in advance which days you are closed. Everything is in my contract and it is right at the top listed out as to which days I am closed (I renew this yearly so I have the exact dates for the entire year listed). No surprises...no reason for complaint as parents agree to this when they sign on with me.
