Emergency and Inclement Weather
Every effort will be made for BBE to remain open throughout the year, however, in the event of extremely adverse circumstances, including severe storms, adverse road conditions, or other emergency, the Executive Director (or designate) may decide to close the Centre as per operational polices to ensure the safety of the staff, children and families. If one or both Centre locations are unable to open, or are delayed in opening, the Executive Director or designated staff will send out a mass email and text message to families informing them of the notice. If you would prefer a phone call, please let the Executive Director know at the time of registration.
If BBE has to close during the day because weather or emergency conditions make staying at the centre unsafe, the Centre will notify parents or guardians by telephone and ask them to pick up their child as soon as possible. In the event that parents or guardians cannot be reached, the family’s alternate emergency contacts will be called. Regular fees apply.
In extreme circumstances the Centre will ensure the children are relocated to the emergency alternate location. The emergency alternate locations are:
If relocation is necessary, every effort will be made to reach parents or guardians by telephone and/or mass email to inform them of the location of your child.
