Northern Door Children’s Center in Sister Bay will hit the reset button this week after Door County reported its first positive test of COVID-19. The center’s Board of Directors chose to close the facility for a week, but will reopen on April 6th for all of its families still in need of child care. Karen Corekin-DeLaMer from the Northern Door Children’s Center says their 3K and 4K classes will have remote learning opportunities made available to them.

Corekin-DeLaMer says Northern Door Children’s Center will only close again if there is a close contact case of COVID-19 that directly affects their staff and students. The Door County YMCA’s Barker Child Development Center went through a similar situation earlier this month when it closed its doors to the general public before offering their services to the families of essential workers.
