4.1 Times of Operation

FEELC is open from 7:30 A.M.-5:30 P.M.

Please refer to section 3.2.3 for policies on late pickup.

For the safety of our children, parents are asked to leave the property at 6.00 p.m. and not to visit on days when the Center is closed. Security cannot distinguish between visiting and loitering and may ask individuals to vacate the area.

4.1.2 Closures/Delayed Openings for Special Circumstances


Under certain severe conditions such as inclement weather, facility crisis (i.e. loss of water or power) or national emergency, the Director, in conjunction with the Board, may close the center or delay opening for the protection of the children and staff. The Center may contact parents through phone, e-mail and/or 541-KIDZ (5439) during working hours so children can be picked up as quickly as possible. Outside of working hours, please call 541-KIDZ (5439) for the center’s operating hours. Emergency situations can be very stressful on children and the staff is trained at maintaining order in a calm and friendly manner. Parent cooperation during these situations is greatly appreciated.
