Is the idea to have the kids stay home with their parents when they are off on holiday for a week, etc? I know most would still send their child to dc because they pay for the spot so that they get some down time/alone time to do whatever they want. I know for me, I would be keeping my daughter home with me if I was off because to me that is the point (spend time with her) but everyone is different. My best friend pulls her daughter out for July and August just to be with her and pays for her space during that time.
