    We have had outages before and I remained open - most families were in the same situation so child would have been too cold or too hot at either place and parents were still expected at work in most cases. Parents when asked were told to dress child in extra layers and/or supply extra stuff.

    Expectations obviously have to be adjusted. We have a main floor play area we kuse for part of the day so we just used it all day, made sandwiches and snack type foods cheese and crackers, granola bars, fruit, etc. for meals. Was glad to get the milk used up as the day went on.

    Parents were expected to pay for the day and never had complaints even from those choosing to stay home.
