Update 3/26/2020
After listening to Governor Hogan’s press conference today we feel that it is inevitable that we would be closed. We also feel that it is in the best interests of children, families and staff that we follow Governor Hogan’s request that non-essential businesses close at 5:00 today. We will close at 5:00 and stay closed for the foreseeable future.
Please know that this has not been an easy decision to make, as always we are considering the best interests of everyone. Please stay safe and check our website and Facebook pages for updates.
We will re-open as soon as the Governor’s mandate is lifted.
