Last week, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of our beautiful new preschool in Centralia, Washington. This exciting milestone was made possible through our partnership with United Way of Lewis County and the City of Centralia. As you can imagine, we’re thrilled to be part of this community hub, serving local youth alongside the Boys and Girls Club of Lewis County and Discover! Children’s Museum at the United Learning Center.

We’re also grateful to Centralia Mayor Chris Brewer and State Representative Peter Abbarno for joining us to celebrate this special occasion. Our four-classroom preschool will serve up to 80 children in the community, and we can’t wait to welcome them on the first day of school this fall. To learn more about how the Centralia community came together on the project, read, “Point of Pride: United Learning Center Celebrates Long-Awaited Grand Opening.”
