How does this sound:
Due to a death in our family we unfortunately have to close the daycare on Monday, June 23th to attend the services out of town. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. Thank you for understanding.
Do I charge for the day or not? This is a new territory for me & idk.

I'm sorry for your loss!
Do you have a personal or sick day you can use? It's hard to say about charging without knowing your policies. If it were me I would use a personal day-I get 3 per year and I have never used one for being sick (knock on wood).

Your wording sounds great. In my contract, my absences are not paid. Sorry for your loss!

Stuff happens and parents need to deal.
Providers have lives outside of work too.
I would just say
"Due to a death in our family the child care will be closed on Monday, June 23rd.
The child care will be open as usually on Tuesday, June 24.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you"
As for charging, I guess it depends on how you have your personal days and time off days worded in your contract.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you. No one seems to be taken back by the notice.

Sorry for your loss!I would charge, but I have 5 paid personal days in my contract and would use one of them.
