We did it! Our public comments, emails, letters from Rosemont Community Association, and meeting with board members paid off. Edward Kelley will remain open for the 26-27 school year! We still have challenges ahead, as we deal with an increase in tuition, and finding solutions to be a fully financially self sustaining program. The next steps will be to take hard looks at operating costs, and figure out ways to make tuition as low as possible for our families. We also plan on creating a 501c3 foundation to fundraise for Edward Kelley, to create an extra revenue source. This can subsidize tuition, and act as a cushion in years when times are tough and the program may not be bringing in enough revenue. The conversations will be ongoing, and we will be looking for community support, so stay tuned!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single person who took the time to speak up for Edward Kelley Preschool! Hopefully we can keep our school running in our community for another 100 years and beyond!!
