We, the undersigned, are concerned parents who urge Wilder Penfield Elementary School to act now to maintain the Daycare hours of operation from 7am opening time to 6pm closing time, to help working parents benefit from Wilder Penfield's on-site childcare services.

Background: 2016/2017 Daycare services’ OPENING and CLOSING times on PEDDAYS are being changed. Morning drop off /opening time will be 7:30 am instead of 7am. Afternoon closing time will be 5:30pm instead of 6pm.

This change will be very inconvenient when there is traffic, inclement weather, when parents work late, when parents work downtown, and force daycare users to change their current schedules.

Our Daycare services should accommodate their customers' schedules. The hours of operation to 6pm should be maintained to help working parents benefit from Wilder Penfield's on-site childcare services.
