Change in Schedule
If you need to change your child’s schedule for the spring semester, please see Dawn or Monica to fill out updated paperwork and contracts. Otherwise, your child’s schedule will stay the same for the spring semester. All parents who are UNO students, need to turn in an updated spring semester schedule for your
child’s file. These are due now.

The children do play outside and will go for walks on campus. With the weather getting cooler, please make sure your child ha s a jacket/coat, hat and/or gloves for outdoor play. As long as the temperature, including wind chill, is above 32 degrees, the children will be able to play outdoor.

As wintertime approaches, so do illnesses. Remember that if your child is experiencing any illness type symptoms, to please keep them at home. If your child develops a fever of 100.4 or above, your child must be fever free with out the aid of Tylenol or Ibuprofen before they can return. If your child has vomited or had diarrhea 2 or more times in a 24 hour period, and/or develop additional symptoms, they must be out for 24 hours, symptoms improving before returning. The UNO Child Care Center continues to follow all COVID guidelines from the Douglas County Health Department. If you child has been diagnosed with an illnesses, please let us know.
Inclement Weather
Please listen to your local news and radio stations for updates on closings or check the UNO announcement web page. If you see that UNO has closed, then the UNO Child Care Center is also closed. If UNO has a late start, the UNO Child Care Center will open 30 minutes prior to the start time. Example: If UNO would have a 10 A.M. late start, the UNO Child Care Center would open at 9:30 A.M.). If UNO closes early, the UNO Child Care Center will close 30 minutes after that time. (Example: If UNO would close at 3 P.M., then the UNO Child Care Center would close by 3:30 P.M.). I will send out an email to families and staff informing them of the closure or late start.
