Daycare is making me want to scream right now

Just need to vent. Tomorrow will be the 2nd instance of this daycare completely closing down with NO compensation to what we pay weekly. I can understand paying our rate to "save the spot" of our baby during holidays even when they close for almost 2 full weeks for Christmas and New Years...but you're telling me you don't have the staff because they are either out sick or have sick kids and you don't refund the parents for days that you literally can't care for the kids? This is my first kid and first experience with daycare but my husband and I work full time and it's insane that we've already had to switch back and forth for 6 days to stay home with our 6 month old because daycare was closed and we couldn't find a sitter. I'm at a loss right now. This is our only option for child care and the director says she's never dealt with sicknesses so bad she's had to close like this before but how the fuck are we going to make it through this damn sick season with any PTO at all
