I don't give vacation days any longer either but I would say something like "Parent vacation days can not be used during provider holidays or days in which the child care is closed."

That way you are still getting your holiday pay and parent still has the option of using vacation days other times of the year.

I do have a section in my handbook that says a parents two week notice can't include provider vacation days. This was to prevent parents from giving notice right before the holidays...which used to be common but since going to 52 weeks a yr payments, it isn't an issue any longer.
