WINONA, Minn. – Cotter Schools set June to open its new early childhood education center in the former Tau retreat house on the old College of St. Teresa campus. The facility is licensed for 250 children, said Mary Eileen Fitch, the president of Cotter Schools. The building, still with its distinctive rotunda as a centerpiece, has been rechristened St. Nicholas Hall. Fitch said a waitlist has been started. Children are eligible as young as 16 months. The facility replaces Cotter’s current St. Mary’s early childhood site, which was licensed for 150 children. The staff will grow by 15 or 16 positions, Fitch said. The state average for early-childhood tuition is $182 to $202 a week.
