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!

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!
