Snow Day Policy

Closures

As a unit of UB, the ECRC will close when UB closes for any reason.

ECRC reserves the right to close if weather conditions are too dangerous for the children and staff, for example:

  • Treacherous roads/conditions
  • Inclement weather anticipated
  • Wind chills reaching lows of -20 to -25 degrees

Snow Days

The ECRC has allocated 3 snow days for the 2025-2026 academic year. Thus, families will not receive any accommodations for the first three snow days.

If a child’s enrollment is affected by weather-related closures beyond these three days, there are two accommodation options:

  1. Attending designated make-up days that take place during breaks and/or weekends.
  2. Receiving a prorated voucher as credit towards future tuition.

The decision to close the ECRC will always be made out of concern for the safety and well-being of the children, families and staff.

Closings will be announced via email, Facebook, the ECRC website and on TV and radio stations:
