Snow Day

[amberrose3dg]

What's a snow day? ::

Here that is pretty much late October to early May

I can't remember the last time our school districts closed due to snow or cold...... ::

I totally understand other areas though and if people live in an area that winter weather is not common and schools close, I would absolutely close too.

Parents will do everything in their power to get their child to daycare but won't make even a 10th of the same effort to pick them up and no way in h3ll I wold be okay with keeping kids until the roads cleared. nope.

Exactly. I have a parent that gets mad when its bad and she cant bring her kid and it is usually on days she will go home and sleep or relax, not working. Then be ticked off if I gave her a late notice cause it was difficult coming back for him.

"I'm sorry I'm late but the roads were awful". They were the same when you dropped off!!!

Wow, I'm glad the 4 families I have worry more about their babes; every one called off today or is working from home because of roads and windchill.They didn't blink when I closed 3 hrs early yesterday either... in fact 2 picked up even earlier than asked

Welp. . . it was 11 degrees this morning. I still took them outside, because the dusting of snow was melting as the sun crossed the yard and I wanted them to have this rare experience. There was enough snow on some of the surfaces for us to pack a few snowballs, and the kids were delighted.

Until they noticed that their fingers hurt like blazes! :: We were outside for less than fifteen minutes, and by the time we got back in, ALL the children were SOBBING while I peeled their mittens off their frostnipped hands and told them, "We gots the chilblains! Let's make some hot herbal tea." Never have I ever had a day where the kids were more miserable in the cold than I was, and I kinda liked being the tough one today.

Childcare weather inclement

North Carolina Corporate childcare company. We paid all week although the facility was closed most of the week. No problem but I wanted to know if the teachers are paid. Any idea?

It would depend on the companies policy but I am guessing that most center type places do not pay their employees for time not worked due to weather as that seems to be how centers (at least the ones around here) value their employees. It’s possible the full time employees still got paid but I doubt any hourly employees did but it would be up to the specific company. Your best bet would be just to casually ask one of the teachers. The larger the center the less likely, just my experience.
