Re-Opening Your Early Childhood Education Program

This is for churches and community groups interested in bringing a program that formerly existed back to life. For example, this is for churches and community groups that may have had to close due to the pandemic, and programs that may have had to reduce their number of classrooms and enrollment to stay afloat during the pandemic.  There are many reasons why ECE programs close, however, with the right consulting and collaboration they can be re-opened stronger than they once were!
