Emergency Closings Educare 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 Educare, 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. When inclement weather occurs please call the front desk at 301-834-9007 or visit this website to see if we will be in operation. An email will also be sent out the Educare email list regarding any changes to normal operation. 2011-12 ELC Inclement Weather Policy
