Alamance Child Development Center provides childcare primarily for working parents and is open five days a week, Monday through Friday. The Center will continue to operate in inclement weather (snow days) unless conditions are deemed hazardous to the safety and well-being of the children and staff, or in extreme cases of heat, water or electricity loss. A committee consisting of the Center Director, the President of the Board of Directors, and whenever possible, one other Board member, is responsible for determining if conditions would be detrimental to the health and well-being of the children and the staff, and the Center needs to be closed until the condition is acceptable. No credit will be given in these instances.
If a child will be absent from the Center for an extended period of time, his/her place will be held only with full weekly payments.
Basic Christian Teachings
Alamance Child Development Center is a ministry of Alamance Presbyterian Church. All children of any race, color, nationality and ethnic origin are eligible to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to children at the Center.
Basic doctrines of the Presbyterian Church will not be taught, although children attending the Center will be made aware of Christian beliefs.
Snow Policy
Information concerning the operation of the Center in cases of inclement weather will be shared on the Remind app so that all staff and families will be aware of delays or closures. Announcements may also be made on TV channels 2 and 8.
