Child Development Center of the Bluegrass Hosting Open House Tonight
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 6, 2012) — The Child Development Center of the Bluegrass will host an open house for their new facility from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 6.
The CDC held a ribbon-cutting ceremony last Thursday to celebrate the opening of the new facility on the University of Kentucky campus. Since 1958, Child Development Center of the Bluegrass has provided early childhood care for children with and without special needs in the Lexington area with a full-day preschool program. The new center replaces the current facility located on Springhill Drive and will help children 6 weeks of age to 5 years old.
The new facility features many unique design elements, including 15 classrooms allowing for separation of children in an age-appropriate manner; private rooms for therapists to work with special needs children; state-of-the-art playground facilities; and a viewing room where parents can watch the interaction among their children and the teachers and therapists. The facility is also supported by an energy-efficient geothermal system.
The new 22,000-square foot center will have a capacity for up to 168 children and will continue to be staffed and operated by CDC.
The CDC still has openings available in some classes for this fall term. For more information on how to enroll a child or to learn more about other opportunities to tour the center, call (859) 218-2322 or visit www.cdcbg.org.
