Winter Weather Outside Play
The children do play outside and will go for walks on campus. With the weather getting cooler, please make sure your child has a jacket/coat, hat, and/or gloves for outdoor play. As long as the temperature, including wind chill, is above 32 degrees, the children will be able to play outdoors.
Illness Reminder
As wintertime approaches, so do illnesses. Remember that if your child is experiencing any illness type symptoms, to please keep them at home. If your child develops a fever of 100.4 or above, your child must be fever free without the aid of Tylenol or Ibuprofen before they can return. If your child has vomited or had diarrhea 2 or more times in a 24-hour period, and/or develop additional symptoms, they must be out for 24 hours, symptoms improving before returning. If your child is diagnosed with an illness, please let us know.
Inclement Weather Guidance
Please listen to your local news and radio stations for updates on closings or check the UNO announcement web page. If you see that UNO has closed, then the UNO Child Care Center is also closed. If UNO has a late start, the UNO Child Care Center will open 30 minutes prior to the start time. Example: If UNO has a 10 A.M. late start, the UNO Child Care Center will open at 9:30 A.M. If UNO closes early, the UNO Child Care Center will close 30 minutes after that time. (Example: If UNO closes at 3 P.M., then the UNO Child Care Center will close by 3:30 P.M.). I will send out an email to families and staff informing you of any closures or late starts. Please make sure that we have your correct or updated email address(es).
