In the Beginning...

In January 1971 at the parsonage of the Atkinson Congregational Church, Donna Nichols and other local families trying to get support for their children with special needs began the Kimi Nichols Development Center. The center took its name in honor of Donna’s daughter.

In April 1971, a Board of Directors was formed and the Kimi Nichols Center became incorporated. In July 1972, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Sawyer, their daughter attended the center, donated three and a half acres of land in Plaistow for the construction of a building. Generosity was abundant as area communities donated labor, material, and monies, making it possible for the Agency to open its doors in September 1973.
