I have remained open during blizzards and had kids show up. Even one whose parents weren't working. So don't ever assume parents will use common sense If you feel you should close, do so.
Exactly what has happened here! Part of the reason I have been considering a proper policy in the first place!
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.
