I got a credit for the day which was great of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childcare-emergency-closing#post-2123120 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 17:04:32 +0000 Finfan 2123120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childcare-emergency-closing#post-2123079 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 16:35:41 +0000 brownie 2123079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>All of that happened last year. We don't live there anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childcare-emergency-closing#post-2122999 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 15:49:08 +0000 plantains 2122999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few weeks ago because of a snow storm. Last winter was ridiculous, I feel like they were closed at least once a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childcare-emergency-closing#post-2122978 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 15:37:22 +0000 lamariniere 2122978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far we haven't had this happen. </p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childcare-emergency-closing#post-2122740 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:57:49 +0000 sunshineandsushi 2122740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last fall, their a/c broke so I had to go pick up the kiddos. We live in FL. A/c is a must. </p> <p>Our old daycare also closed early once because someone hit a power pole and they lost power to the building. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childcare-emergency-closing#post-2122710 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:51:05 +0000 wonderstruck 2122710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple of months ago a pipe froze, so there was no running water and they had to close for the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childcare-emergency-closing#post-2122701 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:49:01 +0000 Corduroy 2122701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childcare-emergency-closing#post-2122665 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:31:03 +0000 cascademom 2122665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we had our home daycare, all of them got sick before Christmas. We saw Santa that day with LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childcare-emergency-closing#post-2122655 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:26:57 +0000 Adira 2122655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The furnace at ours died and had to close early while they got it repaired! I think that was last winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childcare-emergency-closing#post-2122647 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:23:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2122647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sucks!

Our center has never closed early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/childcare-emergency-closing#post-2122596 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:02:45 +0000 regberadaisy 2122596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>When was the last time your childcare had to close / cancel suddenly? </p>
