Vacation Payments and Daycare contracts

Hello are there any parents on here preferably in NYC who have been required by a Day Care Facility to pay for extended vacation (more than 1 week) when the Day Care is closed when not explicitly stated in the original contract? I am not talking about days when the parent chooses to keep the child out of daycare when it can be argued that he/she should pay since the child is still holding a "slot". i am speaking about days such as from Christmas eve until the week after New Year's when the facility is closed (therefore no slots available to ANYONE) and the parents are also required to find their own alternate backup care. i am excluding the actual holidays such as Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving etc, but speaking about the days when it is work as normal but th facility chooses to close. I have seen some contract that state that parents do not need to pay for that time, and others that state that parents need to pay for that time BUT the facility will assist in providing back up care, Yet other require a reduced rate payment with the parent providing their own alternate care. All of this was stated in the contract. If none of these alternatives were stated in the contract, should the parent automatically be expected to pay for the time that the day care was closed? In essence pay 2 different sources of Child care during that period?
