Weather



The weather is something that interests and excites most children, especially watching the rain or snow fall.  However, there are times when the weather works against us.  Using the chart below, we follow strict guidelines as to when it is or IS NOT safe to take the children outdoors.  If the heat index indicates the temperture will be above 95 degrees, we will go out for just a few minutes.  If the index is higher than 100 degrees, we will not go out.  Cold weather is just as dangerous.  If the temperature is 40 or below  degrees with wind chill, we will not go outdoors. 
Outdoor conditions play a big part in our outside time.  If conditions are too muddy, wet snowy or icy, we will hold off going out.  The children's safety is the most important part of our job.  We will not risk their health or well-being in any way!
