MCCA River Road History
In September 1969, community activists from the Scotland, Cabin John and Glen Echo communities joined forces with volunteers from River Road Unitarian Church to open a child care center in 4 classrooms at the church. Our preschool program is still at home there, with our schoolage program nearby at Woodacres Elementary School.
