Closing for Presidents Day
I was expecting to be open on Presidents Day. I just found out this morning that none of my families have to work that day, so I am going to be closed so I can spend the day with my youngest.
I'm having a hard time with how to phrase a last minute closure like that. Any suggestions would be great! |
Dear DCPs
Daycare will be closed on Monday February 18th. Sorry for any inconvience this may cause. Thanks, Provider |

I am paid well for my time but in my experience those are the same parents that complain about having to work or never getting time to themselves. I have one that I know will bring her kids on Presidents Day even though I know she's off and normally I don't mind but this time I outright told her that I expected her to not bring the kids. Just because as of late, her youngest has been under the weather....not enough to be excluded but enough to drive me crazy..... :ouch: |

The mom that always brings her kids when she's not working (and leaves them here until close to closing time), works M-F. They are with me way more than they are with her. I would think she would want to spend time with her kids when she has the chance, but sadly that's not the case. You can't get these days back :( |
I always posted a note over sign in sheet.Dear Parents Daycare Closed for the Holiday xxxx.See you Tuesday xxxx.If questioned I said everyone was off that day.After awhile I just took all Holidays paid.At that time most parents had school agers and were home anyway.If I opened for someone that had to work then others brought their children to.I always reminded with a large note on door Friday before.Then Sunday night posted a note reminding anyone who forgot that I was closed not to ring bell closed.Sometimes you can't leave things to chance.Enjoy your day off.
