The new child development center is an inviting and economical facility for multi-generational learning. Comprising approximately 10,000-square-foot of converted factory space and over 5,000-square-foot of outdoor, age appropriate play spaces, the new $2.5 Million facility includes a research library and administration area, parent training seminar rooms, demonstration kitchen and four indoor classrooms accommodating up to 80 children. This Gold LEED facility acts as “a life catalyst within a light-filled nurturing oasis”.
