The threshold, taking the first steps, the entryway, the way in . . .
How you feel when you first arrive to a new environment or even to an environment you are familiar with can greatly affect the initial feelings you have of safety, feeling welcomed, and ultimately “landing” and connecting with the space.
The children, teens, and families who make their way to our big yellow Victorian house, up the stairs, across the porch, and through the blue door know the courage it takes to arrive.
Our front porch, a most important “welcoming space” at The Children’s Room, was sorely in need of repair. Martin Conneely and Conneely Contracting, Inc., have supported our mission and our house renovations for many, many years. He and his skilled team have always worked tirelessly and meticulously to support the historic aesthetic of our treasured house. This summer they contracted with us to renovate our entrance, the first steps in welcoming our families!
This work was funded by three generous donors including the Adelard A. Roy and Valeda Lea Roy Foundation.

Thank you, Martin, and thank you, Conneely Contracting, Inc. for all of your efforts in bringing this project to completion!
