For 51 years, Middlefield Children's Center has been more than a preschool. It has been a place where children from Durham, Middlefield, Rockfall, and the surrounding towns learn, grow, build friendships, and develop a lifelong love of learning. It has been a second home for families and a cornerstone of our community.

Recently, MCC faced an unexpected financial crisis that forced the school to close its doors for the summer. While this news was heartbreaking, it has also inspired an incredible response from families, teachers, alumni, and community members who believe this beloved program is worth saving so its doors can reopen on August 26.

A new volunteer group is working tirelessly to create a sustainable path forward, strengthen financial oversight, return more meaningfully to our coop roots, and give MCC the opportunity to serve children and families for years to come. MCC's stellar play- and nature-based curriculum will remain the same.

Your donation will help support reopening efforts, operating expenses, and the long-term stability of the program. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to preserving this important community resource.

Together, we can write the next chapter of MCC's story. Thank you for believing in our children, our families, and our community. Write us at middlefieldcc@gmail.com with any questions.
