Early Childhood Expansion

September 10, 2026

We have exciting progress to share about the expansion of the Early Childhood program! Construction Update The construction work that began in July in the new Preschool classroom will largely be completed by the end of this month. The contractors have been hard at work building new bathrooms, adding cubbies and cabinets, painting, and will soon install the flooring. Later this fall we’ll add the furnishings that will make this room cozy and ready for little ones to play and learn.

Behind the scenes, there’s more to be done with final inspections and state licensing as we get all the details in place to welcome students into this classroom. We can't wait to share more as the space comes together. Thank you for your patience and excitement throughout this process!
