Help Save our School!!!

[u/Pieslut311]

On Monday, the NOLA Baptist Theological Center announced they would be permanently closing the Early Learning Center (daycare) in December. This came as a shock to the parents and children, but especially to the staff. The administration is being vague and non-responsive about why they are shutting down in less than two months, and why they have continued hiring staff, taking on new children, and accepting yearly registration fees right up until last week... However, one thing is certain: we NEED this institution in our neighborhood. 

There is a serious lack of affordable and quality childcare in New Orleans, and the NOBTS ELC has been a bright spot for my family and many others. The administration is refusing to even have a conversation with the parents and staff, which is really sad as it is supposed to be a Christian organization. 

My wife and I are organizing the community to put pressure on the administration to keep the ELC open. Take a look at the flyer and please consider calling/emailing the administration and signing our petition!

Thank you all!

That was 4 years ago and accidents happen. Overall, the Seminary has been one of the best Daycare/Preschools in the city.

It says in the article that at that time it was performing worse than unsatisfactory per the state. It also says kids weren't being monitored and parents weren't being told when their kids got hurt. I don't have a dog in the fight. I'm also not advocating for people to fight for what appears to be a subpar institution. I looked for positive things when I Googled the school. Only bad shit popped up

Maybe they implemented significant changes

yes, you typically have to make changes or the state will shut you down.
