A new preschool is taking shape in Merced

MERCED, Calif. (KFSN) -- A building was trucked into Merced from Stockton in three large sections on Thursday.

Crews spent the day carefully positioning the pre-school on a piece of land at Rivera Elementary School. The 14-hundred square foot facility will serve approximately 20 children in the morning and 20 more in the afternoon. It was funded through voter approved Measure "M" and developer fees. It will open this fall.

This preschool is the latest addition to the elementary campus, which opened to 600 kindergarten through sixth grade students last fall.
