I worked for a few years with my daycare and had Fridays off. It was wonderful. I highly recommend it. Having said that, I took new families with that knowledge. Before when I worked Fridays as time went on I only had 2 kids on Friday, then 1 on Friday. I took new clients with the mindset that I would not take anymore on Fridays so when that 1 left, I had the day off.

I worked at a bank before I opened my daycare. There would be no way at all that no matter how many vacation days I had that I would be allowed to take off every Friday, especially in the summer. Honestly, my opinion, is that you're asking alot of them to spring that on them. They need full time to work. It's really tough to find someone to watch a child 1 day a week, so you can't really be mad that they're put out. I get your position that you want it off with your child, but you have to understand that they need 5 days for their work schedule. You can do what you like, but just know that they probably will leave.
