October 2025
Dear Starting Point Families,
It is with a heavy heart that we share that Starting Point Child Development Center will close on December 31, 2025. This decision comes after careful, prayerful consideration of ongoing staffing challenges and a persistent operational deficit. Open Door Church has provided monthly financial support because we recognized the need for high-quality childcare in our community; however, the costs remain unsustainable, and closing is the most responsible path forward.
We know this change may cause concern and disruption. Our hope is that this advance notice gives you time to secure alternative childcare for the new year. For all accounts in good standing as of December 1st, the Open Door Leadership Team and the Starting Point Board have requested that families will not be responsible for December tuition. We pray this gesture of good will eases the cost of transitioning to new childcare options, especially during the holiday season.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children. It has been a privilege to watch them learn, grow, and thrive. If you have questions or need assistance during this transition, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
With gratitude,
Jenni Rexroad
Director, Starting Point Child Development Center
Please note: Families with any owed balance beginning Friday, November 14, 2025, will lose access to child care starting Monday, November 17th. This measure is necessary to help manage our remaining operations and ensure continued care for families in good standing.
