Daycare closures follow Federal/State holidays.
Holidays that fall on a Saturday, will be observed on the Friday. Holidays that fall on a Sunday, will be observed on the Monday.

NOTE: Federal closures for the Christmas holiday designates only closure for Christmas day; however, daycare is also closed on Christmas Eve each year. The same goes for Thanksgiving. Daycare is closed Thanksgiving Day and the day AFTER Thanksgiving.
My annual vacation is five days in length. I am also allotted two floating days at some other point in the year. These two days may be attached to my vacation for an extension, taken for an appointment that cannot be made on a weekend, or simply because I need an extra day or two for my mental health.
I will always give my parents several months notice for my vacation time, so they may find alternate care. Notification for parents works like this: I generally post on the website, around February, my intended vacation dates. That notification stays on the website. The first day of my vacation month (as with any upcoming closures for a given month), I will post a note on the front door.
For the two floating days, if not attached to my vacation week, I will endeavor to provide parents at least a week's notice of a day off.
I am rarely sick; however, it does happen. If I get sick and feel I am not able to serve your children to the best of my ability, or am contagious, I will close. Per the contract, I am afforded five paid sick days per year. NOTE: In all my years of operation, I've only closed a few days for sickness. I am rarely sick (knock on wood).
Weather closure information
If winter weather proves hazardous, I will not open daycare. To make it simple for all parents to know if I am closed during winter weather, I follow the Beaverton School District. If Beaverton School District closes due to treacherous road conditions, I will close also. If Beaverton has a delayed opening, I will open after 10 a.m.
When the weather gets bad and you are uncertain whether I am open, please listen for closure/delays on your news broadcasts before heading out OR check the Beaverton website at https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/. Beaverton generally updates their site before 7 a.m.
I WILL text parents as soon as I find out.
NOTE: Just because highways and main roadways are clear, this does not mean that back roads, or the road leading to my home is. If I close, it is because I deem it unsafe to drive on the roads to my home.
