My first daughter goes into kinder this upcoming year. What do parents in PA do during spring break? Our district also has a fall break. Both breaks hit during my busiest time

Cont’d: My husband will be taking that time off to do something fun and some day trips, but I am dreading missing out on that quality family time. :/

Does you company have backup care? PwC gives 10 days at the discounted rate of $25/day. That’s helps a bit. But make sure to reserve the days well in advance since school breaks are most popular times.

My oldest was K this year and we didn't do anything too special (wife took them to her parents for a 4 day weekend while I worked). Next year I'm just going to plan something ahead of time and be gone Sat-Tues and trust my teams to figure it out.

I am in the same boat. My kids have a 2 week spring break in March and a 1 week fall break in October. We generally find camps that appeal to their interests. And also signing them up with a friend to make it seem like they have a playdate all week!
