Marilyn Donovan then Director, and Karen Kaczenski,
then Director of Christian Education, worked with
various church committees in early 1994 to create

By November 1994 the Center became incorporated
and renovations were quickly underway in order to
become licensed by the Connecticut Department of
Public Health on January 3, 1995 for starting up. The
child care center is not an extension of the Church
and its religious program, but rather a caring and
dedicated separate child care program trying to meet
the many needs of families with young children here
in Cheshire, and is overseen by its own Board of
Directors.

After an intense two-year self-study and validation
process, we have been recognized with Accreditation
in June 2004 by the National Association for the
Education of Young Children (NAEYC). This is a big
achievement and recognition of the quality of our
preschool program and we are delighted to be one of
the few accredited programs here in Cheshire.
