I guess someone hit a pole down the street from daycare and it needs to be replaced. So daycare lost power and heat, therefore has to close early.
When was the last time your childcare had to close / cancel suddenly?

Only for bad weather, but we were already off work so it wasn't a big deal

The furnace at ours died and had to close early while they got it repaired! I think that was last winter.

When we had our home daycare, all of them got sick before Christmas. We saw Santa that day with LO.

Knock on wood, it hasn't happened yet. My cubicle neighbor has had to leave three times for electrical/water issues at daycare (or she's making it up - I don't judge).

A couple of months ago a pipe froze, so there was no running water and they had to close for the day.

Last fall, their a/c broke so I had to go pick up the kiddos. We live in FL. A/c is a must.
Our old daycare also closed early once because someone hit a power pole and they lost power to the building.

So far we haven't had this happen.
I forgot about a local holiday once though and we showed up to a dark school, so I had the LOs at home that day.

A few weeks ago because of a snow storm. Last winter was ridiculous, I feel like they were closed at least once a week!

This one hasn't closed, BUT his last one we had a few fun things happen. Once it closed and the kids were evacuated from a bomb threat in the medical center next door. It was the one day I had to work, but after all our friends picked up kids I ended up watching 4 kids that day.
Another fun one, was when there was a guy going on a shooting spree through town (and down the highway) so there was a lockdown at all the public schools and our school opened after the lockdown was cancelled. So that was a late start day.
All of that happened last year. We don't live there anymore.

A couple months ago. The school had a water main break. It wasn't a day that she was there. I heard about it later.
