The public is invited to a grand opening celebration for the Findlay Family YMCA’s new Early Learning Center.

“Our Early Learning Center Grand Opening on Friday, November 7 will give you the opportunity to explore this beautiful, inspiring, functional new space where children will soon learn, grow, and thrive,” the YMCA said.

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 grand opening celebration is on Friday, November 7 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at 300 East Lincoln Street.
