We follow Fairfax County's inclement weather announcement. We also recognized that Fairfax county's decisions sometimes doesn't really affect our area as their scope is really wide. So, we take into consideration the announcement being made by our immediate surrounding counties/cities like Falls Church City & Arlington county and will send out our own decision as soon as possible. However, We will not second guess a unified closing announcement from OPM and the surrounding counties. We will be automatically be closed also for that day.
Safety is our top priority. Please understand that during inclement weather even if our neighborhood and immediate areas seems okay. The decision to close for that day is for everybody's top safety especially for those that will be traveling quite far. We have to make sure that our children will be out of the roads and safe at home. We don't want to underestimate other factors that can lead to unsafe environment & hamper smooth operations that can unfold during this time. Like slippery grounds, falling tree limb, power interruption, etc. On top of it. If a medical emergency arises. Emergency rescuers may not be immediately available due unsafe driving conditions & high demands on times like this. This delay could cost too much harm.
It is not always true that an in home daycare can be open all the time and disregard safety protocols mandated to us. Though, In common cases we don't deal with less staffing and ratio issues compared to big centers & schools. Being close and home on days like this doesn't give us a rest day either. We work harder than those in centers to maintain the grounds immediately and make sure it is safe for everyone to come back as soon as possible. Compared to other facility and schools that could take days. We appreciate the time we can wholly focus on making sure that we’ll be a safe place to return to. As we don’t have the man power & time to operate normally at the same time ensuring that the grounds will be safe throughout the day especially during drop off & pickup times. Though closures is common and widely practice in all schools & daycares everywhere. We recognize the inconvenience and challenges this could bring in setting up an emergency back up childcare but again safety is our top priceless priority and we will always work hard to keep everyone back as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding.
Did You Know: Daycare is the only business that will be running illegally if short staffed.This is why centers takes a while to get back on their feet after inclement weather or as such.
