In order to remain open for children and families, we had to make those changes, and we continue to look for ways to reduce expenditures while keeping the quality high in our program.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMeanwhile, it may help you to know that it is still costing significantly more each day for C5 to operate than we are currently taking in. The main factors are reduced enrollment and extra costs above normal to accommodate all of the Coronavirus requirements.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWe are however, making progress in reaching out to families interested in enrolling, while we are preparing classrooms that have been dormant due to the SFDPH restrictions. They will be available for us to take more children when families are ready to return or enroll for the first time at C5.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn addition, we are proud that we have been able to support all of our original staff for months when the pandemic hit San Francisco in the spring and we had to close the school and to be able to reopen July 1<sup>st<\/sup> for families who wanted to reconnect.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThrough all of this, we remain committed to continuing to be a leader in researching, designing, and providing a safe and healthy environment and a rewarding program for children and staff every day.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWe also deeply appreciate your ongoing support and the dedication of our staff as we continue to serve your child and family and as we are able to help influence other programs in San Francisco, the Bay area, and beyond.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nCordially,<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nC5 Administration<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;","comments":[]}]}
