990 for the year ended December 31, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • In 2025 Growing Together Preschool provided care and learning opportunities to 172 children ages 6 weeks to 5 years. Our inclusive program provides a safe and nurturing environment for children with and without disabilities on a year-round basis. We maintain a low child to teacher ratio to ensure a high quality of care. Our teachers are trained to recognize developmental delays and know when to recommend early intervention services. We offer a large therapy room for a variety of therapeutic services and our teachers work cooperatively with the therapists in the classroom throughout the day. We have added partnerships with community members to provide music therapy yoga and library volunteers. We continue to partner with Early Head Start to provide additional services for our at-risk families.
