The Need

Our space, a cherished gift from our founders, is the heart of our parent, early childhood, and partner space. However, it’s time to address a pressing need:

Complete Roof Replacement: Our roof is in need of a full repair to prevent further damage to our facilities. By undertaking a complete repair, we can safeguard our building from potential long-term deterioration and ensure that it remains a secure and welcoming environment for our community programs.

Electrical Upgrade: Our current systems can’t support our program’s demands, as the existing electrical infrastructure is no longer sufficient for modern needs. This improvement will allow us to run multiple systems simultaneously without interruptions, ensuring that our facility remains both effective and safe for everyone involved.

Fencing: For years, repairing our fence has been on our to-do list as the need for a secure perimeter has grown. Upgrading our fence will be critical to ensuring the safety of the children and families we serve. This improvement will also protect our facilities, creating a safer, more welcoming environment for our community.
