Snow Storm, WWYD?

[Play Care]

I close for weather days. Idk where you are but where i am the snow doesn't ever really get bad, maybe ice sometimes but not ever super bad but its like always a HUGE deal for everyone! like roads are so slow everyone going 10 on the freeway and so many wrecks like nobody has any sense. so when the school near me closes i do too just to save myself the inevitably late parent.
and about the late policy! i did the dollar a minute thing, but would feel bad about charging it, or like they'd say, my clock or your clock kinda thing? well i heard this other provider doesn't do late fees she just makes it known that she doesn't do late fees and if it ever became an issue that she would probably ask that the family find another care provider because they obviously weren't being respectful of her time and her families time. she says she doesn't have people being LATE!
even with my dollar a minute late fee id still have people late all the time! the money didnt matter to me it was the time.
good luck! :hug:

I'm in upstate NY, we get lots of snow! I don't close every time because honestly, most people have either 4 wheel or all wheel drive and we have good snow/ice removal systems in place. But I had a really bad experience with a sick kid during a snow storm when I first started out. It made me realize that even though I don't have to go anywhere, people still need to be able to GET their child.

Honestly that is why I close if there is bad weather. I do not want to be in that situation. I have seen some parents that I honestly would be concerned that would happen with.
