(KWNO)- Cotter Schools announced their plans to build a new Early Childhood Education Center.

Cotter says that the Tau Center on campus will undergo renovations that will transform the building into an Early Childhood Education Center.

The new program will include the current Pre-school and Educare programs at the St. Mary’s campus, an additional Montessori Toddler and Children’s House program and a brand-new infant care program.

“We know the need for infant care is incredibly high in the Winona area, and we are excited to meet the needs of our community by opening an infant program in early 2024,” said Mary Eileen Fitch, President of Cotter Schools. “It is a wonderful gift for our families to be able to have their students of all ages learning in spaces that are in close proximity to one another. We recognize the convenience this provides for families, and we look forward to increased connections within our school community. As our enrollments continues to grow, we look forward to developing even more opportunities for students of various ages to mentor, lead, and learn important lessons from one another.”

The Early Childhood Center is part of Cotter’s One Campus plan that has been in the works for years. They’ve received funding for this project from various major benefactors that has opened the door for several renovations and new construction projects.
