98 • A parent works eight hours per day, attends school three hours per day, and drives two hours per day from the provider to work and from school to the provider. This adds up to 13 hours of care needed. Assuming that the provider’s rates are greater than the MRR, one full day unit and one part day unit would be authorized.
2. Part Day • Care is needed one hour before school and two hours after school. Three hours of care are needed. The part day rate would be authorized for the day.
3. Full Day • Care is needed one hour and thirty minutes before school and three hours and thirty minutes after school. The full day rate would be authorized for the day as a total of five hours of care is needed.
G. Provider Holidays and Planned Closure
Providers may be paid up to 15 days of planned closure for holidays (including those listed below), vacations, and professional development or planning time on which no child care services are provided as identified in the provider agreement. Planned closures are those that are identified in advance (at least four weeks). Planned closure days are communicated in advance to parents and the local department and are part of the program’s standard operating schedule. Providers are required to maintain a record of their schedule, including all planned closure days. Providers must also keep a record of communications announcing planned closure days to families if they were not part of the schedule at the beginning of the program year, as defined by the provider.
The following 11 holidays will be paid closure days. Closures for these holidays count towards the 15 days described above. 1. New Year’s Day 2. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 3. President’s Day 4. Memorial Day 5. Juneteenth 6. Independence Day 7. Labor Day 8. Veteran’s Day 9. Thanksgiving Day 10. Day after Thanksgiving 11. Christmas Day
Providers are expected to notify the CCSP if a period of planned closure will extend to 5 days or more. Local departments should document evidence of the closure and zero out the units for the provider on the fifth day of closure and beyond.
