A grand opening celebration was held for the Findlay Family YMCA’s new Early Learning Center.
People attending the grand opening had the opportunity to explore the “beautiful, inspiring, functional new space where children will learn, grow, and thrive,” the YMCA said.
We spoke with YMCA CEO Stephanie Parsons and Early Learning Director Kari Redman at the grand opening.
The new ELC will be able to serve as many as 320 children, offering innovative learning and individualized care for optimal growth and inspiration. It will also provide much-needed additional childcare services for the region.
For children of all ages and abilities, the existing focus on innovative and values-driven teaching will carry over to the ELC, where the new space will better support these efforts and community partnership growth.
The ELC will serve children with sensory needs by providing space, specialized equipment, and developmentally appropriate teaching, socialization, and individualized discovery approaches.
The facility will open on Monday, November 17th.
The YMCA is also building a new YMCA in its current location that will connect to the Early Learning Center and is also planning on renovating its facility on the east side of town.
