Snow Day Child Care

Once again, Snow Day Child Care is being offered by Human Resources for Penn faculty and staff children, from twelve weeks through twelve years of age. The program will run from December 3, 2001 through March 29, 2002. It will be available when the University is open but the Philadelphia schools are closed due to inclement weather. Children attending schools in other districts also are welcome.

Snow Day Child Care will operate between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. in the Penn Childrens' Center in their new facility at Left Bank Commons, Suite 100, 3160 Chestnut St.

Pre-enrollment is required in order to participate. The enrollment packet request form has been distributed through brochures sent via intramural mail. The enrollment form also is on our web site at www.hr.upenn.edu/quality/worklife (click on the Snow Day link).

If you have any questions about the program, please contact Orna Rosenthal at (215) 898-5116 or rosenthal@hr.upenn.edu.
