This year I'm open but I'm thinking about adding it to my contract as a paid holiday for next year.
How many of you are staying open?

Pammie 04:57 AM 04-18-2011
Technically I'm "open" which means that all of my families are required to pay for the day - but most of them have already told me they're keeping their kids home for the day
rysakaem1 04:58 AM 04-18-2011
I'm closed. I added it to my contract last year.
I will be closed, but only bc all of my families have it off.

I'm closed friday & monday. I just added them this year. I have 4 kids til the end of the day. I need a break!
GretasLittleFriends 05:06 AM 04-18-2011
I am open. The kids don't have school that day, but almost all of my parents have to work. I will also be open Monday as the kids have school and it's just another day. I do offer weekend care, but will be closed on Easter. We are having the family get together at our house. I am not expecting any kids on Saturday, but am not officially closed. Sunday we will also be celebrating our youngest's first birthday. She will be one on 4/28.

Good friday is a paid closed holiday for me. I am looking forward to it. I am trying to find a cute reminder sign to put on the door. Anyone have one they would like to share?
lil angels 05:32 AM 04-18-2011

boysx5 06:39 AM 04-18-2011
I'm closed Friday only one family ever comes and I wasn't going to open for one family
daysofelijah 06:48 AM 04-18-2011
Open, but only one family is coming. Luckily they leave by 3 on Fridays so we should still be able to get out of town a little early.
safechner 06:58 AM 04-18-2011
I open but one of my family will be off that day. I am not sure about other family yet. My husband will be off and daughter will not in school but my youngest daughter's school will open this Friday due to making up bad weather. I will let my daughter stay home with us because it is not fair to her.
Lilbutterflie 07:17 AM 04-18-2011
I'm open. I don't know of any employers who offer that day as a holiday, so I stay open.
SimpleMom 07:35 AM 04-18-2011
closed. holiday paid day for Easter.
SandeeAR 09:10 AM 04-18-2011
I don't charge for any holiday. Normally, I"m open on Good Friday.
However, this year we are going camping and I closed that day. It only effects on parent and her DH is off and will keep him.
snbauser 09:19 AM 04-18-2011
This year I am open. But based on the number of parents who thought I was closed, I am adding it to my paid holidays for next year. I am going to take it as a swap for President's Day since our school have taken away President's Day as a holiday next year.
newtodaycare22 09:55 AM 04-18-2011
I'm open all week and Monday....although half of my kids are not coming because public schools are closed (and their siblings are off). My paycheck is still there though, because I'm OPEN
momma2girls 10:26 AM 04-18-2011
I added it to my paid Holidays about 3 yrs. ago. It's a long time to go without a day off between Jan. 1st and Memorial Day. I can't wait!!
Meeko 10:33 AM 04-18-2011
Friday is a paid holiday for me
even if one of the dcd's thinks weekends are good enough and I don't need any more time off! (see my earlier post!)
JeepGirl6 11:05 AM 04-18-2011
I am excited. I had one child on Friday and the mother just told me that her grandmother wants to watch her
Now I don't have any children so I can enjoy the day off, I need it.

All of the employers in my area close. Even the two major corporations headquarted here. This is a VERY religous town
JenNJ 11:10 AM 04-18-2011
Open! Fridays are a light day for me anyway and I have a teacher family which subtracts another kid.
Abigail 04:51 PM 04-18-2011
