New Beginnings Family Academy held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Early Learning Center on June 11, 2025 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The event marked the start of construction for a facility designed to expand access to early childhood education in the city.

The ceremony featured local leaders including Mayor Joe Ganim, Councilwoman Denese Taylor-Moye, and members of the school’s founding family. It was described as a celebration of imagination and future-building, with the new center slated to open for the 2026–27 academic year.

If you’d like help drafting a message to the school or exploring ways to get involved, I’d be glad to assist.
