1954
One of the fundamental values on
which Lifehouse was founded was
to create a sense of belonging
in our community. Established in
1954 as Marin Aid to Retarded
Children (MARC), it began as a nursery school for children with
developmental disabilities (see left picture) and has grown into one of the
most well-respected nonprofit agencies in the Bay Area. The founders’
vision came directly from their hopes and dreams that their sons and
daughters would be accepted and welcome members of our community.
To this day, Lifehouse fulfills this hope by supporting each individual to live
their most independent life.
1987
In1987, Montecello House opened its
doors to provide support for six men to
live an independent life in our
community. Pictured on the right, David
Burns and Craig Collins hang out at
Montecello House.
Additionally, two ICF (Intermediate Care Facility) group homes opened for 18
people with profound developmental disabilities. These group homes allowed
for more specialized care for fragile individuals with support from an RN and
physician.
2019
Lifehouse started as a preschool in 1954,
and in 2018, Lifehouse opened Great
Expectations, an inclusive preschool for
children of all abilities located in the
Marindale campus in Terra Linda. We have
a talented Director, two General Education
teachers, a Special Education teacher, and three paraeducators. The student to
teacher ratio is low, providing each student an enriching learning experience.
We are delighted that Lifehouse, in collaboration with Marin County Office of
Education and Dominican University, is able to provide the first inclusive
educational environment for children in our community. We are hoping that this
becomes the standard in Marin County.
LIFEHOUSE PHILOSOPHY
TRAININGS
One of our goals in the Five Year Strategic Plan developed
Dear Friends,

the Bay Area.
Trainings are now offered several times monthly.
Through consciousness raising, the passing of federal and state laws, and decades of dedicated
advocacy by parents, siblings, friends, caregivers, and agencies, there is much more understanding
about developmental disabilities now than 65 years ago. With this understanding comes a clearer path
to opportunities for people with developmental disabilities in our community. This is where Lifehouse
can help, to support individuals on their journey towards greater independence and acceptance in the
community. GREAT EXPECTATIONS
By Lynn Nichelini, Director of Great Expectations Preschool
It was an honor to join Lifehouse back in 1992. Lifehouse has an impeccable reputation and is
continuously growing and adapting to address community needs. Each year, new programs and
services are developed that are collaborative, creative, and were just unheard of back in 1954. It’s hard to believe we are already halfway through our first school year
As the CEO since 2008, I know the commitment to quality and innovative service delivery at Great Expectations! The children in our play-based program are full of
