In 1971, volunteers from St. Matthew Presbyterian Church were instrumental in the start-up of our Bel Pre program, and ever since, St. Matthew has given us a home in their church school building. We are nestled in the woods of St. Matthew's beautiful campus, and surrounded by grass, gardens and a great playground. Visit their website for a look!
