Changing operating hours

[Busy ECE mommy]

I was aiming to change them effective January 1st, as I have 2 existing families that will change to part-time at that point, but I would still like my paid holidays over Xmas. I'm afraid if I give them more than a month's notice(that's the withdrawal notice period for parents), then they will terminate before that and I'll lose my paid time off over Xmas.

could you just have the new families start at the "new time", and just ave the old families continue till the end of jan first of week of feb?
