Dear Parents and Guardians,
At this time, after working diligently, we cannot financially arrive at an agreement that we can in good faith fulfill to the Wall United Methodist Church and our teachers. So, it is with a heavy heart that we must close our beloved Wall Methodist Child Care after over 40 years.
To all my fellow teachers and staff past and present you are extended family, thank you for the many years of dedication, giving your hearts, kindness, patience, humor and empathy to our school and children. Your dedication has not gone unnoticed.
To all of our families, past and present you are forever in our hearts. Thank you for the privilege of sharing your most precious gifts with us, your children. It was our pleasure and will for ever be a part of us.
To the Wall United Methodist Church and Pastor, thank you for the many years of allowing us to have a wonderful atmosphere to help working Moms have peace of mind and allowing us to teach their children kindness, love, faith and inclusivity. Our memories will be everlasting.
WMCC has been in my heart for almost 40 years and at present my heart is breaking. I have beautiful memories of my daughter Lauren attending our school and later working at our summer programs as a pr***en. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this will cause to you and your family, we are a casualty of the pandemic. Being a nonprofit organization is a challenging journey at best. Please know we did work tirelessly to achieve a more positive result. Recent registration fees will be returned.
May God continue to bless all of you and your families; thank you for the memories, they will forever be part of the tapestry of our lives.
With love,
