So today due to the nasty storms weve been having, my power went out at 5am and didn't come back on until almost 1pm...I contacted all my dcp and they chose not to send their children...we had candles, a fireplace and gas stove so I was really sufficient but glad parents made that decision....However, I do not have an conditions in my contract about power outages...As it is beyond my control and not really my choice to close the daycare, how does everyone else handle it? paid day or not?

I re-sign all contracts in September and am planning to add something in for power outages.
