Reminder of our Inclement Weather Cancellation Policy

With winter weather approaching, Natick Early Childhood Network would like to remind our families of our snow/weather cancellation policy.

We follow the Natick Public School closures and delayed openings, which are announced on TV channels 4, 5, 7 and FOX 25.  The Natick Public School Department has a “School Closing Line” at 508-647-6515 which will be updated at 6am on the day of the closing or delay.  The School Dept. also suggests checking www.wbzclosings.com and www.schoolclosings.com for announcements.

We will record a message on the NECN voicemail when we are closed, have a delayed opening, or close early due to bad weather.  You can call our office at 508-655-2557 to check before you come if you’re unsure about attending a program or drop-in play time.

In isolated cases, we will cancel a daytime or evening program even if Natick schools are open.  If we feel that travel conditions are unsafe for our families, we will do our best to contact each family who is registered for the effected program, and will post a message on our voicemail at 508-655-2557.
