Dear Parents, This is just a reminder that we will be open the week of April 6th, for those parents who are considered essential workers. The stay at home order has been extended until April 30th. We are planning to remain in operation as long as the circumstances allow. Unfortunately, at this time it will be determined by enrollment and on a weekly basis according to your need. We will be open our regular hours during this time. It is very important when you call to reserve for the week, you are reserving only days needed. We plan staffing according to your reservations. Policy charges will be applied for no shows and cancellations. Please only reserve days you definitely know you require our services. You can always call to add on for additional days. Please remember to call your reservations in by Monday for the following week during this time.

Dear Parents, We have decided due to the extremely low counts of request in response to March 30 - April 3, 2020 survey, we will need to remain closed. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. We will be open and in operation on April 6, 2020 providing care for Essential Workers. The details of the order and list of occupations can be found here: https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/0,9309,7-387-90499_90705-522626--,00.html

Swan Valley Learning Center families, By now, I hope you have had a chance to digest the latest Executive Order from our Governor regarding Covid 19. In speaking with our Superintendent, we believe this means our center can only be open for the children of "critical infrastructure workers" otherwise we are all under a stay at home order until April 13, 2020. The details of the order and list of occupations can be found here: https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/0,9309,7-387-90499_90705-522626--,00.html Therefore, we need to know to which parents fall under this category in order to decide whether we have enough children to remain open. By 4:00 today, if you are a "critical infrastructure worker" who chooses childcare, please reply to this email. The reply should provide: Your name Your occupation Number of children to serve Specific days and approximate time that childcare is needed. Note: This Executive decision will go into effect at 12:01 am on Tuesday, March 24, 2020. Thank you.

Dear Parents, Due to COVID- 19 the water main valve repair has been delayed. We are considering opening the week of spring break (March 30th - April 3rd). We would like to ask you to take this survey so we have an idea of how many of our families would be interested in our services during this week. If we have enough request for our services we will open, if we do not then we would close during this week. If you could please take a moment to complete this survey, we would greatly appreciate it. If we could also ask for definite need verses maybe's to help us make our decision and to staff accordingly. If we are open add on's will not be a problem. During this week, there will be no program, only all daycare available. We are asking if you could please complete by March 24, 2020. We will post our decision based on your responses on Wednesday, March 25, 2020. Please see link below to Survey: https://forms.gle/ndA7SiyywzmstcQr5 Sincerely, Louisa Marx, Director SVLC

Dear Parents, We were notified that there will be a water main valve repair that must be replaced. The water will be shut off at the high school on Monday March 30th, 2020..There is a good chance this will necessitate a 3 day shut down with a boiled water advisory before all is cleared. Since we are scheduled to be closed on Friday April 3, 2020, we have decided it would be best to close for the whole week to allow for all repairs and any unforeseen complications as this might not be as simple as a replacement.This is truly out of our control. We are notifying you as far in advance as possible so those of you who signed up for Spring Break reservation can find alternate care during this time.I again, apologize and if you have any concerns or questions please feel free to contact us. Thank you,
