$2.3 million in funding has been provided by CHEFA (Connecticut Health and Educational Facilities Authority) for expansion.

$700,000, will be sought from the community to completely renovate the building facade and classrooms.

Through the generosity of those that understand the value of early childhood education, we will fulfill the $3 million in funding needed to complete our vision for a showcase Child Development Center.

We have helped young minds grow for years. Now it is time to help our building grow.
