Cold weather policy

[superfun]

I have in my policy that even in extreme temps, we have to walk to school. It's about six minutes to get there. The youngest three are warm in the stroller, but the parents need to be OK with us outside every day. I think it was minus 41 here this morning with the windchill.
None of the parents seem to mind.

My group is all under 2.5 and my cutoff is -15 with the wind chill. Colder than that I have in my policy that I will use my discretion to determine if and for how long we go outside. We have spent a lot of time outside this winter and the kids are definitely feeling cooped up (or maybe it's just me?).
I don't really have it as part of my official handbook but I send out an email when the cold weather starts to remind my clients.

-41 is not safe to be taking children outside at all. Bundled up and for six minutes and then back indoors is probably fine if it were an emergency or something but not everyday and as long as zero skin is exposed but otherwise it is a health risk and IMO is not the best thing for the children at all.

5LM...here in Ontario children are not allowed outside at recess if the temperature is -20 or colder although I allow my own older children to play outside at home but they have to be completely covered and out no longer than 15-20 minutes at a time.

I think it would be helpful for the OP to give us more specific details on the issues with this parent and also to explain what skin sensitivity the child has. Even if it were only -5 or -10 the child should have as much skin as possible covered so they wouldn't have any issue with skin reactions due to the cold or wind.

I don't like doing it, but sometimes is has to be done. Yesterday my husband ended up being able to come home for lunch so I left the kids with him while I picked up the kinder from school, but he was supposed to be out of town for work. So I need to be prepared for it, even if I don't like doing it. However, it is something that I make very clear in my policy, and I still have a waiting list. So the parents don't seem to mind.
In fact, a lot of our winter has been this cold, and I'm sure most of the parents take their kids outside with far less protection than they get when we go to school.
