BRATTLEBORO â Restructuring at the Brattleboro Retreat required a quick but effortful response from the community to keep Mulberry Bush Independent School running.
A deal finalized around mid-December put the program in the hands of Horizon Early Learning Program, which is owned by Mel Zinn.
âWeâre excited to keep this programâs doors open and grow it,â said Cathy Siggins, Mulberry Bushâs new director.
Sheâs been involved in early education in Brattleboro since the early 2000s. Her roles have included teaching, mentoring, advocacy and leadership.
Siggins also handled early interventions at Winston Prouty Center for Child and Family Development under Chloe Learey, executive director of the center. Learey, chairwoman of the local Child Care Counts Coalition, was involved in finding a way to keep Mulberry Bush open.
