Just interested to see what eveyone's policies are about this? Do you allow parents to take vacations without paying you? I recently had a mom challenge me on this, saying it's pretty standard for home daycares to allow 2 weeks vacation after they had been in the daycare for one year.
Any feedback would be great!
Thanks!
I do not charge for my own vacations (up to 3 weeks) and my families are still responsible for payment when they go on vacation.
