Emergency Closures
While Petit Pois strives to give you plenty of time to plan for closures, as well as minimize the days that we are unavailable to provide care, please keep in mind that this list is subject to change and does not include emergency closures caused by weather events, etc.
Parents should always have at least 2 backup plans in place for childcare that can be activated within 1 hour of notification of closure or illness.
