Montessori School Celebrates Opening

An anchor of the Union-Schenectady Initiative in the College Park neighborhood is set to celebrate.

The Montessori Toddlers' and Children's House at 245 Park Place will have its grand opening on Monday, Oct. 25, at 4:30 p.m.

Members of the Union community are invited for the open house and tours.

"We are celebrating the return of a Montessori school to the City of Schenectady and all of the goodwill that made this project possible," said Kris Gernert-Dott, who runs the school with Cecelia Oballe.

Gernert-Dott '86 said that Union's commitment to College Park, through the Union-Schenectady Initiative, gave the pair the courage to turn their idea of a Montessori Preschool into reality. She also thanked contractor Bast-Hatfield Inc. for turning the fire-damaged building into a schoolhouse at a reasonable cost.
