Preschool finds new home after near move from Cedar Rapids
Trinity Lane Preschool in southwest Cedar Rapids will remain in the area by relocating to three classrooms in the St. Ludmila academic center south of its Trinity Lane site. The move was finalized just weeks before registration, amid a push to keep an option for low income families and avoid sending families to other schools. Reverend Paul Wilcox noted the space and partnership addressed a long standing struggle for space and access to quality early education.
