Update for all children
We are closing to all children at 12:30 p.m. today and tomorrow. This is for the safety of the children. Please collect your full time children at 12:30 p.m. and do not bring your afternoon children in.
Thank you for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience.
Heatwave update for Rainbow children for tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday.
We have just about managed to ventilate the inside of Rainbow today with it being cooler in the morning. However, it is hotter much earlier in the day tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday, and with more children inside, keeping the room well ventilated and cool enough is going to be a challenge.
We are going to monitor the temperature inside closely tomorrow morning. I am hoping for us to remain open for Rainbow children, but can all parents of full time children (blue, purple, red) be prepared to collect their children early at 12:00 p.m. if needed and afternoon children (green and yellow) be prepared to keep their children at home.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi Courtney, you absolutely can.
Can we keep them off, if we choose?
