In August 2025, The Dunham School will expand, adding a second campus to accommodate the rapidly growing two- year-old program. The new location is close to the school’s main campus and is situated on Siegen Lane. In response to the need for a Christian academic program for preschoolers, Dunham expanded its offerings to include the program in 2021, operating at full capacity with a waitlist. The center’s relocation will allow the school to expand. Prior to opening, classrooms and playground spaces on the Siegen campus will undergo renovations. Early Childhood Director Morgan Barkas will oversee the new campus.
