Snow Policy

Snow days are difficult for all. We aim to strike a fair balance between the needs of parents, who must be at work, and staff, who must manage to get to and from work under difficult driving conditions.

WCCC's Early Childhood Program will close when the Wellesley Public Schools close on the first day of a storm.  If Wellesley Public Schools are closed for a second day, every attempt will be made to open the center. Parents should check email and/or the center answering machine message to ascertain if the ECP is open when the Wellesley Public Schools are closed. The ECP will open at 7:30 as usual when Wellesley Public Schools have a late opening.

We will close the program early if we have reason to believe that a storm may be serious enough to prevent parents from arriving by 5:45 p.m., because there have been occasions when children and staff were stranded well into the evening.  We ask all parents to provide us with email addresses and to check messages regularly on bad weather days.  We will call those without email.

*As soon as we know the Wellesley Public Schools will be closed, we will make every effort to send out an email to let you know if we will be closed. If there is a snowstorm during school vacations, we will use the email list to let families know if the center will be closed.

*Television stations often limit the number of schools they list during snow closings. Channel 7 and WRKO Radio (AM 680) will list WCCC closings, or you may check wrko.com and avoid having to wait for the whole list.
