Brief History of the Children's School
Began operations in 1971 by three women who lived in East Washington.
First location was in the now torn down North Wade Elementary School on East Beau Street.
Moved to Trinity Episcopal Church on East Beau Street and then to the First Christian Church at 615 East Beau Street. This move enabled the school to become licensed by the PA Department of Education.
On January 11, 1997, the First Christian Church was destroyed by arsonist fire and the school relocated to the First Presbyterian Church on College and Wheeling Streets.
Sessions resumed at 615 East Beau Street in the fall of 2000.
