Our Savior Preschool And Child Care Marking 40th Anniversary Sunday
SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — From its humble beginnings as a “Christian Story Hour” in late 1983, the Our Savior Preschool and Child Care center has grown in leaps and bounds, currently serving nearly 100 children from more than 80 area families. This weekend, the OSPCC is hosting an open house event in commemoration of its 40th anniversary.
“We are excited to have been a part of the community for this long in providing care for many families over the years, not only within this town but for the surrounding towns as well,” assistant director of programs Tiffiny Rose told Patch.
In 1984, Our Savior Lutheran Church on Graham Road recognized the story hour, which consisted of a Bible story, craft and music time could be so much more. The preschool opened with one traditional nursery school and a part-day preschool class. As the needs of the greater South Windsor community changed, so did OSPCC, offering full-day preschool and infant and toddler care.

Today, OSPCC contains eight classrooms -two for infants, three for toddlers, a pair of full-day preschool rooms and a traditional part-day nursery school room. Before and after-school care is also offered for children attending Eli Terry Elementary School, with busing provided by the South Windsor school district.
OSPCC is licensed by the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood, and has been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children since 2003.

On Sunday, Oct. 6, the anniversary celebration and open house kicks off with a church service blessing at 10:30 a.m. The open house and various festivities commence at noon.
“We would love the support of the community to check out our history and how we have changed over the years to meet the needs of the community as the years have passed,” Rose said. “We hope former teachers, current and past children and families as well as the South Windsor community will join us for this celebration.”
Our Savior Preschool and Child Care is located in the lower level of Our Savior Lutheran Church at 239 Graham Road.
