My Vacation schedule is released during the first week in January of every year. The opening paragraph is as follows:

Below, I have mapped out my closing dates for the remainder of the year. Although I may not always know this much of the schedule in advance, I am committed to giving ample notice, so that your family has enough time to plan ahead. Similar to most other daycare businesses (and in all fairness to my family and personal life), it would be impossible for me to coordinate my closing dates, with all of my clients’ schedules. Although your back-up providers should already be in place, if anyone would like any referrals on back-up care, please feel free to see me at any time.

I have them sign & date it at the bottom. I keep the bottom portion & they keep the top. It's speak then or forever hold their peace.
