CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
NorthStar is building a state-of-the-art Early Education & Community Center in the south end of New Bedford.
Our new Early Education & Community Center will:
- Expand full-time enrollment by 70%, serving a total of 134 children and families;
- Serve as a regional laboratory school for best practices and professional development for the entire South Coast;
- Consolidate our current two sites into one, improve operational and financial efficiencies; and,
- Provide the community with access to exploratory play-spaces, community rooms, and our commercial kitchen, all while addressing urban blight.
Join us in investing in our children, our community, and our future!
