A fire that destroyed the building housing the Northville Montessori Center on Tuesday has school officials looking for to meet the educational needs of its preschool through eighth-grade students, according to a Detroit News report.

A statement on the school’s website outlines administrators’ immediate plans going forward:

“Northville Montessori Center is hoping to re-open at a nearby location as soon as humanly possible. There are a dozen or so people following up on leads.”

Keith Gall, the center’s owner, told HometownLife that using classrooms at Northville Methodist Church or Livonia’s Ladywood High School might be a stop-gap solution for its 65 students, and he hopes to secure a temporary site by the end of the week.

A GoFundMe page has been set up for people to donate to the center, which was founded in 1976 and moved to its present site at 15709 Haggerty Road in 1982. The page already has raised more than $19,000 as of Wednesday afternoon.
