Inclement Weather Policy
As a general rule, OCH does not close due to inclement weather. There may be days, however, when we will have to open late, close early, or not open at all because of dangerous conditions. Inclement weather decisions will be made by the Director in consultation with the President or Vice-President of the Board. On a day when weather conditions are severe, parents should call OCH before leaving home to be sure that the Center is open.
Notification of Delays or Cancellations
If there is a delay or cancellation in the opening of OCH, there will be a message on OCH’s answering machine by 6:45 am.
If bad weather conditions occur during the day and closing early becomes necessary, parents will be notified by phone.
Fire Drills
North Carolina state law requires that we practice fire drills monthly. During the fire drills, the teachers will evacuate the children in a timely manner.
