When a snow day is announced, it is crucial to plan ahead and make necessary arrangements for your child's care. Here are a few tips to help you plan your snow day:

Prepare for Indoor Activities
Keep a list of indoor activities and games that can keep your child engaged and entertained throughout the day. You can consider arts and crafts, board games, reading, and educational online resources to ensure that your child's learning continues even on snow days.
