Brighter Day reserves the right to exclude ill children from childcare This exclusion applies when the child's attendance presents a risk for spreading an infection to other children and when the ill child requires more attention/care than what our regularly scheduled staff can provide. In addition, if a child is not in good spirits(participating in daily activities) or their normal self we will contact parents to come pick them up.

*Unscheduled closure days may occur at any time if we consider attendance unsafe.

 In certain circumstances (i,e. power outage,icy roads) If we decide to close for safety concerns, and your child is already at the center, then you will be contacted by phone for immediate pick up of your child.

In the case of the snow or other inclement weather, your location will open IF AND WHEN teachers can get to Brighter Day safely.
