We have a gas fireplace, but I can't have all my daycare children sleep right in front of the fireplace, I thought about it though!! LOL!!!! I think if this ever happens again, I will give it a few hrs. and then call, it is just not safe, my temperature was already going down after an hr. the windchill that day was about 0 out.
Power Outages, No Heat, No Electricity - Do You Close?

We added on a family room and bedroom, and in the family room is the fireplace. It keeps our family room, bedroom, dining room and kitchen nice and warm, we use it daily. If we lost power, I would hang a big blanket up at the doorway to "preserve" heat. So far, we have been very lucky.- Flag

We lost power for an entire day and I gave the option for parents to bring their kids or not. I stayed open and only one family chose to stay at home that day. We had food and window light, but it was a bit difficult...considering all of our food was in a cooler- Flag

I had to salt everything, because I didn't want them to fall with the child, and then be sue happy, like some are!! I thought I better go out there, and do it for them. I even called them and explained to her how very icy it was out there, all she said was I know our driveway is icy also!! I know it is- but you are not walking on it, just backing out your van on it. I just don't want you to fall, I salted it, but it may still be icy out there!!- Flag

We have had glare ice conditions here recently too. I absolutely go out and salt, no matter how miserable it is, rather than risk an accident and getting sued. Its weird that the mom risked her childs safety to bring it to daycare in those conditions when the Dad was home. I understand if they both HAD to work, but really! I have a family like that too- the Dad considers it a great favor to his wife if he (babysits) the children. Some parent.- Flag
