ALL SITES CLOSED ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 17th
The timing of icy weather will force us to close on Friday, January 17th.
Late starts are an option when precipitation stops before 6am, but the majority of sleet and freezing rain with this system will likely occur between 6-11am.
Hazardous driving conditions should be expected with significant icing in spots and below normal temperatures until midday.
TDC’s Inclement Weather Policy is intended to accommodate the needs of both families and employees. The main goal with every major weather event is to keep everyone out of harm’s way.
TDC Learning Centers may follow USD 501 from time to time, but independent choices may be reached by the Executive Director based on snow amounts, ice potential, timing of precipitation, when plows may be available and/or extreme temperature patterns.
Parents and staff members should not contact Center Directors or Main Office regarding decisions that may or may not be made. All announcements pertaining to late starts, early releases or closings will be made by 5:30am on the day affected and notices will be posted on KSNT, WIBW, Facebook, Twitter, learnplaygrow.org, eblast, group text and KidReports.
Please understand that we take many factors (besides weather conditions) into consideration to determine if we can/should open late, close early or close completely. We apologize for any inconvenience.

PARENTS LOVE OUR INSTANT NOTIFICATIONS
TDC currently has a tablet with the KidReports App in every classroom (at four locations) so parents can have instant access to their child's day.
This program includes information about attendance, meals, reports, play activities, diaper changes, nap schedule, curriculum, newsletters, paperwork, photos, field trips, fundraisers and much more.
We are so excited to offer this service free of charge to our TDC families! Make sure you register for this service during enrollment, and please give us feedback after you have used this App for awhile.
TUITION INCREASE REMINDER
New rates apply to families with children at Crestview and Little Explorers only. Adventures has a corporate care agreement with locked rates, and Highland Park will keep the same price structure with scholarship offerings, teen mom subsidy and teacher discounts.
Prices beginning August 5, 2019...
Infants: $220
Toddler 1: $200 (12 months to 18 months)
Toddler 2: $190 (18 months to 2.5 years)
Preschool: $180 (2.5 years to age 4)
Pre-K: $170 (4 years and older)
IMPORTANT: Billing will change when a child hits the age milestones shown above, not when he/she moves to a new classroom.
Another hike will not be considered until August 2021, so you are guaranteed the same rates for a two-year period.
Thank you for letting us teach and care for your child!
