Community Begins Here

The Chilmark Preschool is growing!

Donate now!

Thanks to the overwhelming support of the community, Town of Chilmark, Up Island Regional School District, and donors like you, we have the opportunity to build a permanent home for Chilmark Preschool on the Beetlebung Campus. We officially broke ground on June 27, 2025 and plan to open the new building in Fall of 2026. Designed by Music Street Architects and constructed by South Mountain Company, the new building will be modest and energy efficient, and will house two classrooms with room for up to 40 students, including toddlers. 

The project is being funded by private donations, grants, and fundraising events. 

Please join us in taking this exciting step to ensure that the Chilmark Preschool has a forever home and will continue to provide much needed early education for our island’s young children and essential childcare for their working families. Community begins here!
