I tried to write again and only edited my previous post so I apologize if I am repeating myself. I felt the need for the last parent who posted to know all the commuication I got that they missed? I repeat.....You get the calendar in the information packet. The calendar is pointed out and talked about on the tour before you pick the center for your family. There is a part of your contract that you have to sign that says you ""agree you have recieved a calendar"" before you sign up. The calendar is posted on your childs parent board in their classroom. The teachers put the closings on the monthly curriculum calendar. The closings are posted on the door of the school a week before the holiday or week closed. If parents are going to say ""but it is not specifically in the handbook"" then so be it. You need to know EVERYTHING works for you family before you sign up. It is not the center's responsibility to make sure you read ALL of the paper work they give you not just the handbook. It is yours. If you picked the center for the teachers or the location then you need to deal with the things that don't work for your family....or don't pick that center. Many of the centers in Westwood go by the school vacation weeks in Feb. and April as well as the Dec week. And I again agree with Mr. Powers about wait until elementary school when you can't pick where your child goes to school and Teacher development days are every other week.
