Inclement Weather Updates

Inclement Weather Information:

In cases of inclement weather  or other unplanned closures, delays or early dismissals, an alert will be sent through Brightwheel. When Delaware Valley School Districts (DVSD) are closed due to weather or other unplanned closures, Green Trees will follow the school districts closures and delays.

Notices are sent out as soon as possible to families, if a large winter storm is anticipated notices may go out the night prior to provide families with adequate time to find alternate care. Families will continue to pay the weekly established tuition rate, despite any closures, delays or early dismissals due to emergencies and inclement weather. 

The Pre-K Counts program will automatically delay to 10:30am when Delaware Valley delays. When Delaware Valley is closed, the Pre-K Counts class is closed. Additional days may be added to the calendar if there are a large amount of weather related closures.

Additional information can be found in the parent handbook by clicking on "educational programs".
