The language of the contract may provide some insight into this, so you might consider having it reviewed by a consumer attorney. However in your situation, I think you would be justified in the assumption that payments made to the child care provider are for services -- child care. If the facility closes for an extended period (more than a week), it is hard to see how the provider can shift that onto clients by invoking the 30-day cancellation clause. That clause exists to allow the owner time to get a new client when one client leaves. You have not made the choice to leave or move to a different provider -- you and everyone else is the victim of circumstance.
