You would think I would be better at this, but I'm not. How do you nicely word that you're taking this Holiday time off?

I give them an annual school calendar with my days off highlighted and listed the same way the public schools do. I use these free templates, some are monthly as well: https://www.calendarlabs.com/school-calendar/
- Fall Break
- Thanksgiving Break
- Christmas Break
- Spring Break
- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

I have my holiday and Christmas break closures in my handbook.
I send out a mass message through BW reminding them of upcoming closures. I will also sometimes print out a letter and stick it in their bags if it's not a usual day I close.
I'll say something like:
Friendly reminder that daycare is closed XXX
or
Friendly reminder that daycare is closed the following days:
XXX

In my contract I list personal, professional, holidays, and vacation time with unlimited emergency days (some years I use many emergency days, some years none)
I then put (list is not limited to these days to protect myself if something unexpected arises like attending the NAFCC conference this year)
And then I put 52 weeks pay each year. Fees are based on spot, not attendance.
I provide a monthly newsletter for reminders and have an dry erase easel on porch at entrance with monthly reminders.
