My youngest (Andrew, 3.5 yrs old) is in daycare/little school at a facility associated with the college that I work for. They are closed the same days we are - 4th of July, Spring Break, Thurs and Fri of Thanksgiving, 2-3 weeks at christmas time, etc.

Apparently waiting in Andrew's folder tomorrow for me will be a notice of raised fees (happens, ok) but on the back of the new fee notice is a little note saying that "parents will be charged for holidays when the little school and college are closed with the exception of spring break and the winter holiday break".

Which means next week on the 4th, they are closed, I'm off work, and I have to pay them to not take care of my kid. I can understand charging me when they are open but I don't bring Andrew in for whatever reason - we're out of town, he's sick, whatever.

Now I know this is weird, but do other child care places charge when they are closed? For example, for Thanksgiving day, do folks get charged a full week?
