Important Information for Longwood Trip!
No Comment |Posted by: Amy Bryan on December 7, 2008
If you did not read your December newsletter (shame on you! ;), here are some reminders regarding our December meeting / host family event, as well as maps of the facility.
1. Our self-guided tour begins at 5 pm, therefore being on-time is extremely important. Please try to arrive NO LATER than 4:30 pm. I will be there waiting at that time to help organize. Our tickets are timed, so we cannot wait for you!!!
2. We will need to pay for admission at arrival. They have asked that we have ONE payment for our entire group. Please bring cash for the amount you owe, so that I can collect it from you when you arrive and make this process as smooth as possible. I am also responsible for distributing tickets to everyone prior to our tour, so again, please be on time!
3. We are meeting at the “Group Visits” office inside the Visitor’s Center. DO NOT go through the main, general entrance. The Group Visits office provides a separate reception and ticketing area.
4. Allow yourself enough driving time to account for any traffic. Also, the parking area is large and you may have a bit of a walk from your parking space to the Visitor’s Center. Please get directions ahead of time!!
Prices:
ADULTS: $12
STUDENTS (Ages 5 – 22): $3
CHILDREN 4 & UNDER: FREE!
If you need driving directions, go to a website like maps.google.com or www.mapquest.com. Enter your home address as the start address and 1001 Longwood Road, Kennett Square, PA 19348 as your end address.
PLEASE DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR COLD WEATHER. Some of the displays are outdoors, so it’s important to dress warmly. Also, wear shoes that are comfortable for walking, both indoors and outdoors!!!

Everyone should have received a list of important contact numbers at orientation, but in case you’ve forgotten or misplaced it, please keep reading!

If host families have general program questions that I am unable to answer or you need assistance with billing program regulations, au pair international travel or au pair insurance, please call Account Services at 1-800-333-6056 and press 3 or email Account.Services@culturalcare.com.
If your au pair has questions regarding international travel, health insurance, deposits or departure flights, please call Operations at 1-800-333-6056 and press 4 or email aupair.operations@culturalcare.com.

My office hours are Monday through Friday from 10 am to 7 pm. This is the time when I am available to answer questions or address concerns or escalated situations by phone. I do check email outside of these hours, so that is the best way to reach me outside of these hours. I also do check voice mail on the weekends, but I may not return your call until the next business day if your call is not urgent in nature. If you do have an emergency and cannot reach me, call 1-800-333-6056 and press option 9. We do have staff on-call 24 / 7 to deal with emergency situations outside of regular business hours.
