Parent Handbook

Our parent handbook contains a full outline of our center policies and is updated and distributed to current families in the fall of each year. The 2025-2026 Family Handbook can be viewed at any time, here.

School Calendar

As we all plan ahead for holidays and special events, please find our school calendars below. These outline all center closings and early dismissal days for the year.

During a recent review, our Board was proud to note that EELC remains open to families more days each year than nearly any other local daycare—something we take great pride in. At the same time, we’re committed to providing our teachers with the professional development opportunities they need to continue offering exceptional care and learning experiences.

Please contact our center directly if you are a current or prospective family with questions about our school calendar.

Snow Days and Cancellations

In cases of inclement weather, we often follow the decision of the Providence School Department. However, we may, and often do, remain open when the public schools close due to weather.  Our administration will email all families regarding any decision to close or adjust arrival/dismissal times, and all school closings are communicated through the Bright Wheel app.
