basis, including infants, toddlers and preschoolers, with an afterschool<br />
program nearly doubling the numbers during the school year.<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>. The fi rst, from the Rosamond G. Childs and Jay-K Lumber<br />
funds, helped support construction <strong>of</strong> its new facility on Route 12.<br />
