Short version - PJC will stay open “indefinitely,” and Purdue will then assess the need for a new daycare center when the pandemic has subsided. So there’s still the question of a replacement center, but for now, PJC is going to stay open! We are very grateful for all your support. It has paid off for the moment. PJC families can rest easy for now knowing they don’t have to find new care for their kids by June 1, and PJC employees’ jobs are safe for the time being. Hooray! Thank you all!
