Outdoor Play Policy

Fresh air and exercise are important elements in the development of all children. There is direct correlation between fresh air and exercise and the development of a child’s physical, emotional, and intellectual well - being.

It is the policy of the Jefferson Child Care and Education Center to provide outdoor play to all children each day. Only severely inclement weather, i.e., below 0 degree temperature, rain, sleet or hail, will keep the children indoors. Parents are expected to provide the appropriate outdoor play clothing at all times.
