Emergency Closure Policy:
Graceful Child Care is strongly committed to remaining open as much as possible. However, in the event of severe weather and/or snow, GCC may close. In general, if Seattle Public Schools is closed, GCC will be closed as well. School closure announcements can be found on the Seattle Public Schools website (www.seattleschools.org) and on local TV stations such as KING 5 News, KIRO 7 News, and KOMO 4 News. If snow begins falling during the day with accumulation on sidewalks and streets, GCC will close and parents will be requested to pick up their child as soon as possible. In the case of serious emergencies, such as earthquakes, fires, storms, and power/water outages, parents will be notified, and children will be cared for until parents or emergency contacts arrive. GCC is open with regular hours on days when Seattle Public Schools has a late start. Tuition will not be refunded for any weather closures.
