    This is my policy on blackouts:

    If the power does out, I will remain open unless I feel it is unsafe to do so. If I feel I need to close I will call/text you to come pick up your child.

    If the power is out in the morning, I will try to be in the lobby until all the children have arrived.
    If the power is out at pick up, I will try to have all the children waiting for you in the lobby.
    If you would like to pick up early, please do so. If possible call my cell or text me. My home phone will not work.

    If I am unable to do meet you in the lobby, please very carefully come and knock on my window to let me know you are here and I will let you in the side door.
    If the door to the lobby is open please just walk right in.

    I have battery operated lanterns, so we will have some light. If its nice out, we will go outside and play all day. If its cold out, please send extra socks/slippers, and sweater to help keep your child warm. An extra blanket is always welcome as well.
    Not all parents can take the day off due to a blackout. I will be home anyways so I might as well be open.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
