It's normally a long break of c. 2 weeks. Public schools let out the last Friday before Christmas and don't pick up again until the first Monday after New Year's. If the actually holidays are being obnoxiously mi-week or inconvenient in some other fashion adjustments will be made but the circa 2 weeks will be met about as closely as possible.
Day care is unlikely in such a rural area. You have extended family or even stay-at-home moms. It's probably not a friendly area for lots of pink collar jobs.
