My parents pay for a spot not for attendance, this means they pay whether or not the child attends with the exception of my vacation time. For their vacation time (full week blocks only) they pay half fees, and it doesn't matter how many weeks they take. The only exception to this is if they take the same weeks as I do. I get paid full fees for all stat and civic holidays, and i have recently added 5 paid personal days. Hope this helps.
