our daycare follows the federal holiday schedule (it's an arrangement between a childcare company and a federal agency), so luckily we don't have any long breaks. but we'll definitely have to deal with that in a few years!

DS who is in K this year is out from Nov 20 - Nov 30 - luckily my mom is coming up to watch him - 2 days off for teacher conferences then the whole week of thanksgiving off - a little much I think!

Dec 22 - Jan 2. I am a SAHM so it's not a big deal. I might just be feeling a bit loco at the end of the two weeks.

closed from dec 22-jan 4 but luckily I had planned to take off from dec 24- jan 4 so we just need coverage for 2 days

@autumnlove: We have the same days off as you! December 24th - January 5th.
Do you guys have a few days off for Thanksgiving?

Ours closes from Dec 24 - Jan 1, so we have a few days in there without care. I'm taking off 24-26th, and luckily MIL has 2 weeks off around that time, so she's offered to watch her the 29-31st!

Ours doesn't close for long periods of time, which is one of the reasons we chose them!
They are closed Thanksgiving and the day after, but I have those both off work. Their longest closing is noon on Christmas Eve through the 26th, but they're open the following week (except Jan 1st)!

Our nanny asked for the week of Thanksgiving off, so DH will be home with E Monday-Wednesday since he has some extra vacation time. I'll be home with them for the usual Thanksgiving holiday (Th-Sun).

@autumnlove: Totally agreed! We usually visit family over winter break... it helps a bit, but it's still hard to get work done!!

Dec 24th - Dec26th but all these days are federal holidays here. Then again Dec 31st and Jan 1st. They're only closed 10 days a year which was a major selling point for the daycare we chose.

Ours is closed 12/24-1/2 but the good news is that I'm off of work during that time anyway.

Our nanny is off two days at Thanksgiving and the week of Christmas. DH has off the 24/25 and I have off 25/26, so we just need to figure out what we are doing for the first two days of the week.

Christmas break. I SAH, but D goes to his Dad's house for the first few days, so I get a small break before he's home for 10 more days.
Also, 3 days for Thanksgiving.

They don't close for long periods of time. They are closed Thanksgiving Day, the day after (new this year), Christmas Eve (closes at 3), Christmas Day and the day after, and then New Years (closes at 3), and closed New Year's Day.

Luckily, if he's off, I'm off, too. Usually I get more days off than he does! We both have next Tuesday off and he has Wed-Fri of Thanksgiving week off, but I have the whole week off. He gets two weeks off for winter break, but I get three.

Ours is closed 12/24-12/31, which isn't so bad. DH and I are off work, too. We usually take a day off and send E to daycare and do a big winter cleaning on the house

Luckily, every time Los center is closed (it doesn't close often), I'm also off work.

@blackbird: DH and I are off the days between Christmas and New Years, but we will send her 1-2 days to get Christmas taken down and have a day date!

Ours is closed 3 days over Thanksgiving so we are going to take off ourselves and go to Europe.
It is closed a week at Christmas. I probably will just take off then too. So happy I get unlimited PTO!

Ours is closed the week between Christmas and New Years! I am not sure if we are going to try to find backup care or just take that time off.

Thanksgiving and the day after. Then Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Our center doesn't really close for extended periods at a time.
