Back-Up Child Care

[judecorp]

It is also very serendipitous that Marcia offered back-up child care, since our new day care provider is closed for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and umm, those are coming up right quick.

Jewish child care provider? In which case make plans for coverage for rosh hashanah, yom kippur, passover, and possibly a couple more holidays that happen off the normal schedule

Those are the only ones listed on her calendar. She doesn't have anything specific to Passover or anything else... at least not this year. :)

Yeah, Passover is pretty much only a non-work day for Orthodox folks, plus it takes place in the evening at home, not during the day at temple like the high holy days. Many Jewish schools stay open all throughout Passover.

Even if she doesn't observe the high holy days and she sets her schedule based on the families she serves, kids whose families do observe the high holy days would have the kids at services rather than at daycare. She might just be closed because she won't have many kids there. But on Passover, you can work during the days, or if you're not, you're cleaning the house and cooking and shit, so you're gonna totally want the kiddos at daycare!

BTW, if she were Orthodox, it'd be 1, 2, 7, 8 of Passover that are non-work days. Just in case she forgot them on her calendar or something. Bwahaha.
