We have worked hard over the past 5 years to maintain a high quality preschool across the street from this activity. This is our mission field - all families deserve access to great preschool, not just those who have high paying jobs. Yes, we have had both parents and staff who have had to live at that property due to their financial circumstances. I must say that 5 years of persistence and a newly formed active community group has helped North Precinct shut down this nuisance property.
I would take this opportunity to thank our parents who recognize
what we try to do for this community, give us high quality Google reviews, and
refer other parents to our preschool. May our community grow stronger as a
result of this difficult situation.
Both
these news videos mention our preschool - one even shows our playground and
billboard. I hope as people view this video that they will see that this is a
positive - and that we try to be shining light in a fallen world. ("You
are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. No one
lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lamp stand, and it
gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine
before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father
in heaven." Matt 5:14-16) In the meantime, know that we are
aggressively trying to help the struggling families that were displaced by this
action.
Kudos to the Tennessee Christian Chamber of Commerce, whose members have taken several opportunities to comment on
the quality of our program, as well as on the challenges of our location. My
continued ask – if you have employees or know of families who need a great
preschool for their young children, we would be honored to help them.
Again,
keep praying for these families that just encountered their own "natural disaster" – Bill
