There is an old saying among mother's. "If you don't take care
    of yourself, you won't be able to take care of anyone else."

    This is very true of not only mothers but anyone in a caregiver
    role.  Taking care of multiple infants and toddlers can be very
    demanding and challenging.  I need to take time off to recharge
    my battery, fend off burnout, to keep from getting cabin fever,
    and to maintain the quality of care I provide.

     The daycare's vacations are taken unpaid but holidays
    and personal days are paid. If a holiday falls on a Saturday, I
    take off the Friday before and if the holiday falls on a Sunday, I
    take off the Monday after.  "unpaid" is written next to all the
    unpaid closings.
        
It is the responsibility of the parents to find alternative care
when the daycare is closed.
