We appreciate the Early Care and Education Providers who have contacted SBCV and expressed their willingness to help the community during this crisis, especially as the need for childcare for healthcare workers and other essential personnel has become urgent. We are working with Centra Health, Child Care Resource Center, local school divisions and others to try to help fill rhis need.
We at SBCV, along with our community, country and the world, look forward to the end of this crisis and the return to normal programming. Until then, please stay safe and healthy.
