Milton Early Education and Care Program Information Night

Are you looking for information about part-day and full-day preschool or child care programs in Milton? Then, our Information Night will help! The Milton Early Childhood Alliance invites parents of young children to our 11th annual Early Education and Care Program Information Night.

Celebrate Milton – always good fun!

It had to be held indoors at the Cunningham/Collicot schools due to weather that would not cooperate; but it did not dampen anyone’s spirits. There were the same great performances, a well stocked food “tent” from FAME, and a rash of tables manned by organizations, businesses, and youth groups that reflected the rich diversity and abundance of opportunities and interests. Here are some shots from the day.
