Hours of Operation

All of Associated programs are open on a year-round basis, 10 hours a day, 5 days a week. All of our programs provide storm/snow day availability, and remain open with a skeletal crew despite inclement weather, except during a declared snow or other storm emergency. In that event, our procedure for contacting parents includes notice on five local radio and television stations, and the use of a telephone "tree" system. Associated has closed its programs only three times in the last decade, all for declared emergencies. Specific hours of operation vary slightly from program to program, as outlined below:
