April 2018 Capital Project Update

May 4, 2018
Inside the Main Building, it is amazing to see the classrooms and office spaces begin to take shape! What was once a beautiful stone dairy farm has evolved and transformed into Toddler and Children’s House classrooms with amenities that are just the right size for our students.

The drywall was put up during the month of April and we soon expect it to be primed and painted. The frames for new windows and doors are in place. We have selected the finishing details for the carpets, tile, front desk design, and appliances for the classrooms and kitchenette.

Thanks to generous donations to our Capital Campaign, we were able to finish the restorations to the roof, once damaged in a fire. We are still seeking support for the remainder of the project – and we cannot do it without you! If you would like to make a donation to this cause, please click here.

During the month of May, we will begin to see more progress on the exterior of the building, with the rest of the windows and doors going in, painting of the siding, doors, and frames, and preparation of the sidewalks, flowerbeds, and playgrounds.

We are looking forward to having the building completed in June 2018 and ready for us to move in our classrooms for the 2018-19 school year! Join us in front of the Main Building for our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Tuesday, June 12 at 4:00pm!
