BALC will be closed the following holidays: New Year's Day, MLK Day, Presidents Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving Day and day after and Christmas Day (and Christmas Eve during the week). BALC will also close one day prior to each semester to allow staff to prepare for the upcoming months. These days will be decided in August of each year and will be posted for your convenience. All holidays will be charged at the regular rate as we continue to pay our dedicated staff during these days.
SCHOOL CLOSING/DELAYED OPENING
While we make every effort to remain open during inclement weather or other natural disasters, occasionally this is not possible. In the event the school has to be closed due to inclement weather or other emergencies. Big Adventures Learning Center will follow Wylie ISD schedule and decisions for all bad weather concerns.
ABSENCES
If it is necessary for a child to be absent from school for any reason, parents are requested to contact the preschool.
LATE PICK-UP
There will be a $5.00 fee added per 5 minutes if pick-up takes place after closing. This fee is non-negotiable and is the responsibility of all clients. Parents, or those picking the children up, are required to call ahead if they feel they are going to be more than 5 minutes late. Parents notified that a child is ill and needs to leave the center for the day a “reasonable period of time” to pick-up the child or the above “Late Pick-up Fee” will also apply. If no parent or emergency contact can be located within 30 minutes of trying to contact the parent, the “Late Pick-up Fee” will also apply. An attempt will be made to contact individuals on the emergency contact list after children have been left 15 minutes past closing. Children left at the center later than 60 minutes past closing will be considered abandoned and Child Protective Services will be informed.
