“Rozumka” is an educational center in Chernihiv that offers general development classes for children, foreign language courses for children and adults, services of a speech therapist, psychologist, and speech pathologist. Our center has been operating for 14 years, and this quarantine is the most challenging time for us in our work history. Of course, we had ups and downs. We opened new branches and experienced crises, but we have never been completely closed. This situation is an unbearable financial burden for us. We missed our favorite customers. At this challenging time, the educational center is trying to keep teachers and masters of their craft, who were carefully selected before. “We hope that our team of brilliant teachers will come out after the quarantine to work in full force. We want to save our premises so that there is a place to return to. At the moment, we hope to resume work after quarantine. We are probably in the most difficult situation because organizations with our range of services will be open last, according to the quarantine plan. Everything is complicated by the fact that summer is coming soon. Our services are seasonal. It has always been financially harder for us in the summer, even in ordinary years.”
