Your provider could legally take the entire YEAR off and have you pay.
its not about if its legal. none of these questions are about if its legal. Its are you willing to have a provider that has that many vacation days.
They are employees in the workforce of childcare and deserve the time off and thats how they see it PTO just like any other employee but you do not have to stay with that provider.
If its becoming an inconvenience to you, maybe you don't have a close relative that can watch them and its getting to expensive to take off or pay for alternate care then maybe your family and her aren't a good fit. that ALL it is, no blame or anything.
i believe that paying my provider vacation is a way of me thanking her for taking care of my child the rest of the year, like respecting her as a fellow woman,and mom, and wife, who needs a vacation but also has bills.
GOOD LUCK
