In the midst of a rapidly evolving COVID19 situation within the Miami Valley and across the United States, we as an organization are taking all of the steps outlined by the State of Ohio and the Montgomery County Department of Health in order to both prevent the community spread of the virus and support containment efforts.
It is important that we move forward quickly and purposefully in order to be proactive. We feel that Pickuach Nefesh, a principle in Jewish law that covets the preservation of human life, guides our current decisions as it is imperative to protect our beloved community.
*UPDATE AS OF MARCH 13, 5:30PM: In order to ensure we are doing everything possible to protect our children and staff’s health, and fulfill our responsibilities to slow the spread of COVID-19, it has become necessary for us to make the difficult decision to close our preschool, effective end of business on Tuesday, March 17. We anticipate reopening on Monday, April 6.*
Our agency offices will remain open, however we will not have any events or public gatherings. We are committed to keeping you updated about this rapidly changing situation.
We are confident that taking these measures now will help prevent serious illness for our friends, family, and community.
