Our Holiday and Closure Calendar: What Families Need to Know
One of the most common questions parents ask when enrolling is: “What holidays and closures should I plan for during the year?” At Brainy Kids Place, we believe in being transparent and consistent so families can plan ahead with confidence.
Our holiday and closure calendar is designed with two goals in mind: giving staff important rest and professional development, while minimizing disruption for families. Here’s what you need to know.
📅 Holidays We Observe
Like most schools and businesses, we close on major federal holidays so families and staff can celebrate with loved ones. These typically include:
- New Year’s Day
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving Day and the Friday after
- Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
(Exact dates are shared with families each year in our annual calendar.)
👩🏫 Professional Development Days
To keep our teachers at their best, we close a few days each year for professional development and training. These sessions give staff time to grow their skills, refresh safety certifications, and learn new strategies—so they can provide the highest quality care for your child.
🛡️ Weather-Related Closures
The safety of our families and staff is always our top priority. In the event of severe weather, we follow local guidance to determine closures or delayed openings. Parents are notified promptly through our parent app, text, or email so you’re always in the loop.
🌟 Why This Matters for Families
We know closures affect work and family schedules, which is why we share our calendar well in advance each year. By planning ahead, families can arrange childcare alternatives, enjoy holidays without stress, and know exactly what to expect.
Clear, Consistent, and Family-Friendly
At Brainy Kids Place, transparency builds trust. Our holiday and closure calendar is part of our commitment to keeping families informed and supported every step of the way.
