Apparently it is not too early to think about snow days here at the Underground. There is a simple rule of thumb to help you know whether or not we will be open: if school is cancelled then the Underground will be closed as well. However, if school is let out early because of a weather event we will open up early to help give parents a little extra time to arrange pick-ups and home care for their children. In this situation we will try to close as soon as we can so that everyone, including Harbor House staff, can get home safely before the weather gets any worse.
There are a few days coming up which we know for sure the Underground will be open. We will be open from 8:30 to 5:30, on Veteran's Day November 11th. We will also be open all day onNovember 24 & 25th. There is no charge for these days or advance registration required. Children are free to come for the whole day or any part of it - we will be here with activities to keep them busy and engaged!

Soccer season ended just before the snows came, and thanks to a great crew of coaches and helpful parents the players showed tremendous growth in their individual skills and team play. Several changes in the way the season was organized received a lot of positive feedback and we are working to carry these changes over into the basketball season as well. Organizing players into consistent teams, having a set schedule of other teams to play, and finding volunteers to officiate games are all steps we plan to add to this year's program.
Although the final details of the basketball season are being worked out as everyone's winter gym schedules take shape, there are some things we know already. Practices for all age levels will begin the first week of December, andSaturday games will begin on December 13th. There will be a seven game schedule of games which runs until February 7th. As soon as we can finalize the practice schedule we will send out more detailed information, but it is not too early to sign up for anyone who already knows their child plans to participate. Early sign ups help us plan ahead and are much appreciated. You can pick up a registration form at Harbor House or download one here.
One change to the basketball program this year will be the absence of a pre-K option. Our youngest players must be kindergarteners. We are in the planning stages of developing a separate, age-appropriate option for pre-K children and apologize for any disappointments caused by this change.
