But Sheri and her team kept the school afloat with hard work, resilience and grant assistance that came through at just the right time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This funding was a federal pandemic relief grant managed by Opportunity Council\u2019s Center for Retention and Expansion of Child Care (C-RECC). C-RECC used these ARPA dollars to supported child care providers and retain over 2,400 child care slots throughout Whatcom County, including capacity from Blue Heron Montessori.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Sheri applied for and received funding, she went to work utilizing the grant funds in several ways. Teacher bonuses and support staff wages helped to rebuild and stabilize her team. She also used the grant dollars to make needed repairs to school building and grounds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Moving forward with resilience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe financial assistance we received has been instrumental in addressing the unique needs of our preschool, particularly those of children with high needs,\u201d Sheri said. \u201cThe grant funds allowed us to pay for additional hours needed by staff members and substitutes\/assistants to support these children.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several teachers also stayed at Blue Heron Montessori because of teacher bonuses that helped mitigate the effects of the rising cost of living.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oppco.org\/crecc\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/03\/Blue-Heron-Sign-1024x768.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Blue Heron Sign\" class=\"wp-image-971\" style=\"width:702px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oppco.org\/crecc\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/03\/Blue-Heron-Sign-1024x768.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.oppco.org\/crecc\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/03\/Blue-Heron-Sign-600x450.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.oppco.org\/crecc\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/03\/Blue-Heron-Sign-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.oppco.org\/crecc\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/03\/Blue-Heron-Sign-702x526.jpg.webp 702w, https:\/\/www.oppco.org\/crecc\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/03\/Blue-Heron-Sign.jpg.webp 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe grant really helped us with those practical things that keep the kids safe and healthy, and keep the teachers coming back,&#8221; Sheri said. &#8220;and having continuity with teachers is not only good for the school, it\u2019s also important for the kids and their well-being.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving forward, the Blue Heron Montessori team hopes to re-open the toddler program and expand even more.
