The grounds at Albany’s Maple Lawn, the preschool at 1950 Salem Ave. S.E., are on one of Vickie Pruitt’s walking routes, and this week she had a question about the place. So the answer man went to work.
Maple Lawn to continue as a preschool
Written February 22nd, 2020 by Hasso Hering
Albany Parks and Recreation Director Kim Lyddane has good news for all those parents who pleaded with the city council last spring not to close the Maple Lawn Preschool: Subject to council and school board approval, the place will stay open and Greater Albany Public Schools will cover the expense.

Maple Lawn replay: Preschool to close
Maple Lawn, the city-owned house and grounds on Salem Avenue, has been home to a preschool for a long time, but not much longer. The Albany school district has paid for the operation since 2021 but will stop doing so when this school year ends.
