THE YEAR 2020 BROUGHT A GLOBAL PANDEMIC TO THE UNITED STATES. WE WERE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN, MOST OF OUR EMPLOYEES ON THE PAYROLL, AND WE ONLY HAD TO SHUT DOWN A PORTION OF OUR CENTER ONE TIME THE WHOLE YEAR IN OCTOBER. WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT WE HAD A LOT OF KIDS STAY AT HOME WITH MOM AND DAD, BUT AS THE SUMMER CAME AROUND AND FALL WE WERE BACK UP TO PRETTY MUCH NORMAL CAPACITY. WE WERE ABLE TO RECEIVE A PPP LOAN AND EIDL LOAN TO HELP KEEP THE DOORS OPEN. THE CENTER LEARNED TO IMPLEMENT PARENT/CHILD DROP OFF OUTSIDE SO NO ONE ENTERED THE CENTERED, BUT EMPLOYEES AND STUDENTS. MASK MANDATES WERE PUT IN EFFECT AND THE CHURCHES THAT USED OUR BUILDING WENT TO VIRTUAL SERVICES TO HELP KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE.
