I have a question for those of you who use day care.  How do your daycare
providers charge for Holidays/Vacations?

Our daycare provider is taking off 6 of the next 10 days for the
Christmas/New Years holiday, but she wants to be paid as if she were
here the whole time.  We understand that if we don't leave Kiera in
daycare that we are still responsible for paying for her slot, but we
are a little disgruntled to find that we are paying for time when no
daycare is going to be provided regardless of our wishes.

Is this standard?  Kiera really loves this provider (As you know if you
saw my post on her crying when she has to go home with Mommy.  Thank you
for you support on that.  I got a lot of good advice on drawing out the
transition so that she could get used to the idea.).  We think she's really
good with kids, although she doesn't seem to bond quite as well with adults,
so it would be hard to leave and find a new provider, but if she's ripping
us off this might be the final straw.

Thanks,
Jeff
