Emergency Closings
Dandelion makes every effort to stay open for scheduled program hours.  However, we may be closed for
various reasons due to weather, community emergencies or world events.  In the event that an emergency
occurs during the regular day's schedule at Dandelion, we will contact parents/guardians to pick up children.  
The program will close after each child has been safely picked up by a responsible adult.  On days when
inclement weather occur please call Dandelion or visit this website to see if Dandelion will be in operation.
