It looks like we have indeed found our home and property for
our Little Birch Nature Preschool! We
are currently waiting to sign the paperwork and should start moving in April
1st. It is a three bedroom home on 40
acres, across the street from a dairy farm.
The inside classroom space will be in the open living room/kitchen area
that has two sliding glass doors looking out at the farm and Worcester
Mountains and also leading onto a deck that could extend the classroom space in
nice weather.
I just got off the phone with the sweet-as-pie owner of the
place and he asked what color we wanted the walls painted as he and his wife
were on the way to the paint store. We
will all be very busy in the next few weeks and months painting the inside and
out and getting this sweet home ready to welcome a happy group of young
children. I especially can't wait to
transform the yard into a natural play area and further explore the meadows and
forest. We will likely have a community
work day on a weekend in May and also an open house on another day that month.
While I will wait to announce the exact address until
everything is "official" I will say that it is in Morrisville,
Vermont, not far from the Green Top Market.
It is nicely centrally located in Lamoille County.
Distance to village centers of:
Morrisville: 3 miles, 8 minutes
Stowe: 11 miles, 20
minutes
Johnson: 6 miles, 15
minutes
Hyde Park: 4.5 miles, 10 minutes
If you would like to help us get started in any way you can
have a look at our “wish list” on the tab to the right. There is a link to our online "wishpot" as well.
We really appreciate all of the community support and interest. Spread the word! Enrolling soon!
