Children's Village Childcare Closed, Wednesday November 24th

Renton School District has made the decision to close tomorrow.  Children's Village will not be open.  Again, I know this is difficult for working parents, but we want all of the children and staff to be safe.  Enjoy the holiday and we will see everyone on Monday, November 29th.

Just a reminder, we have a zoo-phonics parent training on November 30th at 5:30 p.m.  Your children can stay in childcare during our training.  We will close at regular time.

Children's Village Closed Tomorrow

Although the Renton School Districts closure is not showing up on schoolreport.org, the district website does confirm that they are closed tomorrow, Tues. November 23rd. 

Hopefully, the weather will improve and we will be open on Wednesday.

Thanks for your understanding,

Janine

Renton Closure?

Wow, I don't feel quite so stupid for closing this afternoon.  It took me over 3 hours to get home and I live in Maple Valley.  Lucky for everyone, we prevented a sleepover tonight at the Village.

Districts around Renton are closed tomorrow including Issaquah and Tahoma (Maple Valley).  Renton typically makes a decision at the last minute around 6 a.m. in the morning.  Since they are on an early release schedule, they will not be starting late.  So either they open tomorrow regular schedule or are closed.  If they do open tomorrow, please be patient with teachers coming in late.  Many of them live far enough away, that they will not be able to get to work.  If Renton does open tomorrow, we will do everything in our power to open on time.  To be on the safe side, please do not drop off your children before 7 a.m.

Continue to check schoolreport.org for updated information on the Renton School District's plan tomorrow. 

Thank you to all the families for picking up your children early and being so gracious about it. I know all the teachers made it home safe tonight and for that I am grateful.

Inclement Weather Policy

For those parents who are new to Children's Village, we follow the Renton School Districts inclement weather policy.  In the past, Renton will open 90 minutes late, in this case CVCC will open at 8 a.m.  If the district closes school due to ice and snow, we are also closed.   I realize that a closure or late start is difficult for working parents, but we believe that if it is too dangerous for school, then it is too dangerous for staff to drive into work.
