WEATHER GUIDE
When we go outside and when we stay indoors
We watch the weather closely all year long, and we follow the guidelines below for canceling classes or moving them indoors.
DURING THE WEATHER EVENTS BELOW, CLASS WILL BE CANCELED, OR MOVED FULLY INDOORS, IF PANDEMIC CONDITIONS ALLOW:
NYC high wind advisory asking people not to enter city parks
Winds forecasted to be 40 MPH or more for the whole class period
Forecasted heavy rain and a wind chill below 35° for the majority of the class period
DURING THE WEATHER EVENTS BELOW, OUR OUTDOOR TIME WILL BE SHORTENED:
Thunder heard or lightning visible
Forecasted wind chill below 15°
Forecasted snow with winds of 40 MPH or more
Forecasted light to moderate rain and a wind chill below 35° for part of the class period
WHEN OUTDOOR TIME IS SHORTENED THIS COULD MEAN:
stopping by the library for extra reading time before going outside
sheltering inside or in our outdoor tent while a weather event passes
moving inside earlier than our normal pick-up time if a weather event occurs during class
possibly calling parents for an early pick-up, if pandemic conditions don't allow for indoor gatherings
PROTECTIONS FROM COLD, WIND AND RAIN THAT ARE A PART OF EVERY CLASS:
a pop-up shelter to protect from wind and cold
a tarp shelter to protect from warm rain
warm tea or cider to heat hands and insides
hand warmers
full cover rain suits
extra gloves and hats as needed
Parents supply boots, snow suits, waterproof gloves and other appropriate layers
INDOOR CLASSES INCLUDE:
Library Time (group and free reading, events at the Sunset Park Library, 43rd Street and 4th Avenue)
Brooklyn Wild Playdate (indoor free play at 428 45th Street)
Romping the halls of Industry City
Additional options coming soon!
