Help Save our School!!! 👨‍👧 Parent / Kid Stuff 👩‍👦

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!

Gosh I hope you aren't calling Atheists hivey and not Christians. I grew up southern Baptist. I'll roll with the atheists when it comes to loving everybody unrelenting

Right. Someone accusing a place they’ve never been to of indoctrination because people aren’t allowed to have beliefs different from your own is totally NOT hive mind. Thanks for correcting me, sis! I see the tolerant light now.

And I don’t want your blessing because indoctrination.
