Update Regarding the Wells College Closure

 2/3/2025

We continue to grieve the closure of Wells College and like our neighbors at the Community Medical Center, we are patiently waiting to learn more about the fate of the campus we lease our building from.  Since the closure was announced last April, we have worked closely with College officials to explore our options.  We gathered community support, proposed to have our building included in the disposition plan, pursued an appraisal, and formally presented a purchase offer.  Our offer was denied due to a desire to sell the campus as one large, intact parcel.  

Today we continue to operate in Peachtown Cottage, the building we have occupied for 35 years.  We are on a year to year lease with Wells College and hope to pursue a similar arrangement with future buyers.  

We are committed to keeping our program open and affordable for local families.  If this means that we need to relocate, we will do so when that time comes.  We are gathering a list of suitable nearby locations should the need arise, but our preference is to remain here, and we are doing everything in our power to make that possible.
