Inclement Weather Policies & Procedures

The Children in the Shoe will make every effort to remain open during inclement weather. Our goal is to make sound decisions based on the safety of families and staff, while still meeting families’ needs for child care. The Children in the Shoe may close or delay opening at its discretion. Please note we do not always follow the Federal Government or MCPS snow/inclement weather closings. In the event that we need to close or delay opening, we will notify you by 5:30 A.M. in the following ways:

In the event the program closes early we ask that you make arrangements to have your child picked up as soon as possible (within 2 hours).
