Plus it was only $30/day for part-time care (what we used). It was amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-free-days-from-daycare#post-2426151 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:16:37 +0000 Smurfette 2426151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still pay regardless </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-free-days-from-daycare#post-2426119 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:07:12 +0000 Mae 2426119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We pay monthly and it is the same price regardless of when she goes. We also still have to pay the same price for December when they are closed for a whole week. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-free-days-from-daycare#post-2426076 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 13:52:00 +0000 Mrs D 2426076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get 3 or 4 weeks at 50%...but K has to be out the whole week... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-free-days-from-daycare#post-2426072 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 13:50:53 +0000 lamariniere 2426072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No free days, but thankfully, it's cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-free-days-from-daycare#post-2426065 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 13:46:28 +0000 sunny 2426065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Our old daycare let us do 50% off for the whole week if we were gone M-F, for up to 3 weeks a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-free-days-from-daycare#post-2426063 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 13:45:03 +0000 MamaG 2426063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get 5 vacation days after we have been there for a year. We have to use them as a M-F week. We can't do partial weeks. Fortunately, they do let us use the free week and still send our kiddo (which we did last year when we earned the free week and she only had one week of daycare left before she moved to the elementary school). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-free-days-from-daycare#post-2426044 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 13:36:57 +0000 erinbaderin 2426044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we get no free anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-free-days-from-daycare#post-2426041 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 13:34:45 +0000 avivoca 2426041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have to pay half.
