To Our Milestones Families,

 

Since 1908, Milestones Early Learning Center and Preschool has strived to provide a safe, nurturing, and high quality educational environment where all children have equal opportunities to thrive.

 

As a nonprofit, our mission has always been to serve families from all walks of life, working tirelessly to ensure that financial barriers never stand in the way of a child reaching their true potential.

 

It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we must share some very difficult news.

 

After 118 years of dedicated service to our community, Milestones will be permanently closing its doors, effective at the end of the day Friday, July 31, 2026.

 

Please know that we did not arrive at this decision lightly. We have explored every possible avenue and resource to keep our doors open. Unfortunately, the systemic and financial realities facing the childcare sector today have made it impossible for us to sustain our operations any longer.

 

Thank you for trusting us with your beautiful children. Your support and patronage over the years have meant the world to us, and we are deeply proud of the legacy we built together.

 

We want to support you as much as possible during this transition. If you are in need of childcare moving forward, we highly recommend reaching out to the Child Care Resource and Referral Network, who can assist you in finding open placements:

Sincerely,
Milestones Early Learning Center & Preschool Board of Directors
