    It take a little time but worth it (or is to me). I am really reliable. I think I been off sick maybe 3 times in 20 year and was tummy upset so only closed so babies not get sick too.

    But I think parent willing to pay for some day off, if they know from the beginning how many, if they get lot of notice and if you open door every morning, on time, with smile, and not mess parents around.

    Mine all know from day they sign contract that stat and public are closed. Them all set days and so have all the notice that I am closed. I always take first full week in August, with Labour Day so they know every year to plan for that. I pick that one too because it also school holiday so can arrange camps if need be.

    Then I use days for appointment or long weekend. But I book appointment at least month in advance so lot of notice and if I know a long weekend really cause issue on date planned for someone, then I can switch date. Not big deal.
