    Hmmmm superfun. Interesting! That's a lot of sick time as a parent I would never take my child to a provider who could potentially take 4 sick days monthly as notice for sick time would be short. At least if it was paid holiday time there would be plenty of notice. So by December she could potentially have over 40 paid sick days accumulated?!?! Maybe they misunderstood?

    I will say that a common occurrence when getting calls from parents is that their provider is not reliable. I am too reliable lol.

    I just signed on a family for sept and not anticipating any spots opening up for some time but something I might add into my contract eventually for future families is a few paid holiday days. We'll see how it goes lol! I just wish I quit seeing the $25 a day providers or only pay for the day your child is here providers!

    I have seen several daycares on kijiji advertising $20 per day, all snacks and lunch included! Don't know how they make any money at the end of the day!?

    No, I checked with a mutual friend that knows the provider. I don't think she rolls them over much, from the sounds of it she closes often. Last week she was only open 1 day.
