Inclement Weather/Emergency Closings
|
ALL DAY CARE
Little Feet All Day Care will make decisions based on Baltimore and Carroll County inclement closing policies. We will always consult with what local county schools are doing but the All Day Care will be decided by Little Feet Owners and parents will be notified via rainedout.net and our school Facebook page. It is the parent’s responsibility to check these sites for the All Day Care Program’s decisions on inclement weather. Little Feet will attempt to open care as soon as our parking lots are clear and staff are able to get to work. We use Brightwheel as our communication process for booking care for these inclement opening days. In an instance where weather occurs while your children are at our locations, calls may be made to parents to alert them to weather and whether Little Feet will be closing early. Staff will stay with all children until parents are able to get there to pick them up. Please be respectful of our staff who also need to get home safely to their families. |
BEFORE/AFTER CARE
Little Feet Before After Care follows the Baltimore/Carroll County inclement weather closing policy. If schools are opening late, we will open at regular time unless we are unable to get enough staff to the buildings. If schools are dismissed early, we will provide care until regular time but we encourage families to pick up children as quickly as possible so that staff can also get home safely. In an instance where public schools are closed for days on end, Little Feet will assess road conditions and if able to open the facility will notify all registered families. Little Feet reserves the right to close early if we deem it too dangerous for our staff to get home. A message will be posted on the Little Feet Preschool Facebook page as soon as the public school systems have made their announcements. A message will also be sent via Brightwheel In an instance where weather occurs while your children are at our locations, calls may be made to parents to alert them to weather and whether Little Feet will be closing early. Staff will stay with all children until parents are able to get there to pick them up. Please be respectful of our staff who also need to get home safely to their families. |
