    My concern is about the fact that the children are taken outside for more than 15 minutes in the cold, rainy or misty weather. Both my granddaughters have been attending the location in Morrisville since the beginning of October 2015. Those girls were never sick for more than 5 days, but have been sick since the third week of attending this center. Although I have no complaints about any of the teachers, they are loving and caring, I do feel that it is up to the adults to decide when the weather is favorable to let the children stay out for more than 15 minutes at a time. Yesterday, January 7, my younger granddaughter was outside for over 45 minutes in a 40 degree misty weather; that was despite the fact that I've called the Director and…

    My First Time Babysitting It was a dark rainy Friday evening, school just let out for the weekend and I was free except I still had one thing to do left, as I was doing a weird walk jog across the campus while trying not to get soaked just to get to the main building, as my phone started to make this weird ringing noise and obviously I got a bunch of looks. When I looked at my phone I saw that my dad was calling me and when I answered my dad told me not to walk home in the rain and just wait it out. Once I got to the main high school building, I walked through the maze of hallways and lockers, and finally just finally I made it to the front of the building. It was still pouring down rain when I looked out of the window, by this time the storm was almost through…
