I have great parents and they do keep their kids home when they get a day off or take a long weekend! I take 2 weeks vacation and paid holidays-again, never a problem

My families are not paying by the day, they are paying for a spot


I want to also add that most providers that are complaining about parent being home and still sending kids is not about and easier day. It's more about the well being of the child. These kids are with us up to 50+ hours a week. The kiddos would love to have a chillin' day at home with parents once in a while. Most of us got into child care to be with our kiddos so it is hard to see families that don't want to spend time with their kids.
