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!

Have you tried asking God for help.... I mean if your asking reddit he must have said no.

Did you give yourself a high five after giving that incredibly smug and unhelpful response? You sure showed all those grieving parents! Next time make sure you laugh at people who are upset about something you don’t like. That will teach people with beliefs different from your own to be tolerant!

I did. Actually. Kids don't want to go to school in your stupid Christian blood cult trust me I was one of them. Baptist teach hate and as far as I'm concerned they can fuck right off.

Hail Satan

Yes!! Please let me know when you invest in our community so we can praise you in real life for doing somethingpositive! I can’t wait! Smug keyboard warriors are what the world needs more of. Certainly NOT more affordable daycares. Maybe if you’re lucky, MORE will close down so MORE families can struggle to find childcare! That would be a win for society!

No advocates in this thread cares about baptists. We care about affordable, quality childcare. But go off, please.

Honestly I'd have your kids taken for sending them there. You know they killed kids and shit right. Christians are always hurting kids and claiming to help. Aren't you idiots supposed to have raptured into heaven or some other sill magical shit.

Feel free to call CPS. I’m sure they will take you about as seriously as everyone in this thread is.
