I also don't charge for my own vacations since the parents would either have to take time off of work at the same time or pay another provider for care. Very few of the families that I've had get paid vacation so either way their SOL. I give a family one week of unpaid vacation (5 days consecutively) and an additional week at half price. Any additional time they take or any days here and there they take for appt's etc. are paid. The way I see it, if I take time off they don't pay, if they time off (besides their 1st vacation) they pay.
