Of course dd isn't really attached to any of the kids yet, she's only been there a couple months. But I figured there was more teacher-child interaction for that day so they are getting attention from someone... I'm sure your lo's teachers will keep them pretty happy! And once the day is through and xmas is here it'll be totally forgotten! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395714 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:16:05 +0000 mrsjazz 2395714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOs was the same as it always is. Her school is open until Wednesday. There might be less kids on Wednesday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395693 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 11:59:26 +0000 Alba4 2395693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our DS only goes 2 days a week so he's going Mon and Wed! They are closed thurs-fri the next 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395685 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 11:56:14 +0000 snowjewelz 2395685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD only goes part-time, so she's there Tue &amp; Wed this week, and again Tue &amp; Wed next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395590 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 11:05:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2395590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know about yours, but we still pay full price whether he's there or not. So even though DH and I have this week off, he's still going sometimes (just not everyday, or not for a full day). I actually had a work thing just for this morning, so it's nice to have the option. And DH and I talked about taking a date day, since we have the childcare.<br /> There were still a decent number of kids there when I dropped him off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395583 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 10:52:09 +0000 littlebug 2395583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is open all week, closing at 1pm on Christmas Eve. Then they're closed all next week, so we have various grandparents coming over to watch him. They have a sign-up list on the door to see who would be there this week (probably for staffing), and it seemed like only a few kids would be missing. Their classroom Christmas party is on Wednesday, and it looked like most parents are bringing their kids in that day, even if they're off the rest of the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395577 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 10:47:32 +0000 Smurfette 2395577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are off this week but we are sending her Mon-Wed. She has a small class anyway but there will only be 3 kids but we have doctors appointments, errands, and having a couple day dates. I don't feel bad at all. There are still plenty of kids there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395576 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 10:44:55 +0000 Alivoo01 2395576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's definitely a bit more quiet, but there's still a good amount of kiddos around to play with. A lot of parents still have to work. The day before or day after a holiday is usually super quiet, but DS is usually home with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395531 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 10:14:21 +0000 Truth Bombs 2395531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of our closest friends stay in town so even though there are fewer kids, LO's BFFs are there. She'll go M-W this week then be home. Next week my in laws are in town (and I'm home on mat leave) so we'll probably do short days, like just send her until nap time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395486 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 09:31:18 +0000 Miss Ariel 2395486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh teaches so he's home with dd these two weeks. Our daycare is technically open, but you have to pay extra to attend over the holidays, so I imagine it must be pretty empty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395480 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 09:27:44 +0000 erinbaderin 2395480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's going this week and part of next week. His best daycare friend has a new baby brother (like, 6 days old new) so I'm pretty confident that he'll also be there, which hopefully will be enough to keep B happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395469 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 09:20:17 +0000 catlady 2395469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is open M-W for the next two weeks. Unless she gets sick, she'll be there. I'll be working about half those days and hopefully relaxing on the other days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395462 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 09:13:43 +0000 lamariniere 2395462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are only 2.5 days this week and then they are off until January 11th. I assume there will be fewer kids than normal this week. Since I'm self-employed, I'm more or less off the whole time they are out of school. I may try to work a little bit, but I don't usually get much done when they are home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395455 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 09:11:11 +0000 lawbee11 2395455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She'll be there Monday-Wednesday this week because DH and I are both working. Daycare is open for part of the day on Christmas Eve but she'll be home with us. We're both off all of next week so she'll be home with us then, too. I'm guessing there won't be many kids there this week or next. I feel bad sending her during holiday weeks, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395454 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 09:11:06 +0000 Adira 2395454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is open Monday-Wednesday. I'm not sure how busy or not it will be, but they have some fun events planned, like Santa visiting on Tuesday, and doing some Polar Express thing on Wednesday, so I think they'll have fun, regardless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395451 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 09:09:55 +0000 wheres_c 2395451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's going, but I'm taking the week off :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395445 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 09:08:04 +0000 travellingbee 2395445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is closed all week. The following week is a week with fewer kids but it's never seemed to phase him. He's usually the first one there anyway though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395439 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 09:03:31 +0000 Pumuckl 2395439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They go today and tomorrow but our daycare closes from 12-23 to 1-5 - not sure how we'll handle 1-4 and 1-5 yet :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-weeks-at-daycare#post-2395434 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 08:57:54 +0000 mediagirl 2395434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holiday weeks at my daughter's daycare are so sad. There are fewer kids there and unfortunately most of her closest friends don't come when it is a holiday week. So, I dropped her off today. She sat down at a table, held her baby and put her head down on her arms. What a way to make mommy feel awesome. :(</p> <p>How are holiday weeks at your childcare? Is your child going or are you off so you get to stay home with them? </p>
