Comment on Paid Time Off for Home Daycare Providers: How to Create a Fair Vacation Policy by Victoria

This is is music to my ears and I completely agree with you. I think that if the federal government can get on board with this and provide paid vacation time to providers who work with families who have vouchers , it wouldn’t be as hard as it is for providers in this area. It’s shocking to me that they don’t pay knowing how real BURNOUT is.

In reply to Rebecca. Hi Rebecca! I think it depends on the level of sickness. For minor colds and illnesses, I usually will keep my child separate as best I can (it's much easier with school-agers) and then let my daycare parents know. As my child has gotten older, if she is able to stay separate all day I don't always notify parents beforehand and just have business as usual. If it is more serious or something that is highly contagious, I usually will close until my child is better or no longer contagious. I do not give refunds for sick days (mine or theirs), but a lot of providers do offer discounts if they close or have a certain number of sick days they are allowed to take in their contract.

Hi I am just starting to put together my business plan for my in home daycare. The part I’m struggling with the most is what to do if my own children (school aged) are sick. What do you suggest?
I have read other places that suggest telling the parents and keeping kids separated (obviously) which seems pretty feasible especially since I have a 2 story home and my care center will be in the basement. The parents can then choose to bring their kids or not.
