SAFE HEALTHY CHILDREN
A Health and Safety Manual for Childcare Providers

Thank you everyone for the input. The health unit called me back as well, and he gave me good information as well. I tell (verbally) parents that if its too cold or to hot that we won't be going outside. I want to put in place a written policy so parents can't come back saying that it doesn't say in the contract about it being too cold or too hot to go outside.
I now only have to do one school run and the family understands that if its cold I can't pick up their daughter and actually appreciate me not taking toddlers out in the cold.
I will not be taking anymore school kids because I can't guarantee that the weather will not be below -15. I will continue doing school pick up for this one family because they have no problem with picking up their daughter if need be.
