Child Care Closure Announcement

Friday, October 18, 2024
Dear Camp Jorn Child Care Families:
I hope this message finds you well. Sadly, I am writing to inform you that Camp Jorn Child Care Center will permanently be closing its doors at the end of the day on Friday, October 25, 2024. This decision was not made lightly and due to staffing issues, the closure must be expeditious. The impact this closure will have on local families was certainly not overlooked.
The center has survived for over 30 years because of the community, dedicated staff members and extremely generous donors for which we are incredibly thankful. Thank you for the trust you have placed in us as Camp Jorn takes pride in the years of services provided to children and families through childcare.
Even though it was a difficult decision, closing the childcare center is the most reasonable and responsible choice to make on behalf of Camp Jorn and the children we serve. We truly appreciate your respect for the complexity of the situation and various factors that are involved.
If you would like to have a discussion regarding the closure, I welcome a face-to-face conversation or a phone call.
Warm regards,
Katy R. Bost
