June 2025 Update: It's amazing how quick it's happening. Our staff is very excited about the potential for this new building to be bigger and better than what we currently have. We have windows, we have drywall, we have a canopy. With new technology and equipment, we are thankful for the new facility to better serve the kids' needs.
