What is a staff development day?
A day teachers work and students stay home, set aside for training and planning. California districts schedule several a year. They fall on normal working days, which is why they are the hardest closures for working parents to cover.
Where can I find childcare on these days?
Licensed family child care homes and small centers near you often have space on exactly these days, because they follow their own calendar rather than the school district's. EnrollPass lets you fill in your child's enrollment record once and then request a seat for a specific date. Booking a closure day early gives you the most choice.
