Phase one construction and updates for the bridgewater community childcare, located in the 1991 addition at the rear of the building is near completion. We have received our occupancy certificate with the state and continue with the vermont licensing process. Bridgewater community childcare has hired a program director, kristiana birmingham, and now looks to fill three teaching positions. The bridgewater childcare will open june 1, 2022 with fourteen spots for children age six (6) weeks through thirty-six (36) months. Enrollment is now open with links on our website. Along with creating the childcare space we have also updated the center's roofing, insulation and prepared for phase two construction.

Phase two construction on the historical 1914 section is on track to begin spring 2022. Phase two construction and updates will include but not be limited to adding state-approved accessibility, a new sprinkler system, updating heat and air-exchange systems, upgraded bathrooms, energy efficiency, revitalizing rooms, and bringing all electrical and wiring up to code. Part of phase two will also include expanding the childcare program and opening an after school program. Kristiana birmingham is also acting as the bridgewater community center's executive director until the childcare is open and the position is filled.
