PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT: The Plum Hill School received a $350,000 Expansion Grant to make necessary renovations to a property they purchased this summer in West Tisbury and to establish a toddler program that will serve nine children ages 15 months - 2.9 years old beginning in the summer of 2021. The Plum Hill School has been in operation as a Waldorf Preschool for 19 years and currently serves roughly 20 children ages 2.9 - 6 years old. They estimate they have educated roughly 400 children since their inception. The school has operated out of a rented house in West Tisbury, moving out every summer and returning every September. In addition to allowing the school to develop a new toddler program, the new property will enable the Plum Hill School to run a summer program for toddlers and preschool-aged children.

Phase One of the school’s plan is underway and will be completed by their anticipated September opening. It includes site work and renovations to tailor existing space to be used as classrooms and comply with licensing requirements. Phase Two includes building or reconfiguring existing space to create a classroom that will house their toddler program, installing a play yard for this age group, purchasing start-up supplies to run a new summer program, and installing solar panels.
