YMCA of Greater Michiana advances early learning center in South Bend
What happened
The YMCA of Greater Michiana is building a new early learning center in downtown South Bend, which has been named the Gurley Leep Automotive Family center. The $1.65 million project is under construction and is expected to open in January, offering capacity for up to 87 infants through preschool-age children. The center is located on the first floor of the downtown YMCA facility.
Why it matters
The project received a $500,000 gift from the Gurley Leep Automotive Family, which is the largest private contribution announced for the center. The YMCA stated that the new facility aims to address local challenges regarding the accessibility, affordability, and quality of childcare.
The City Council is currently funding a new aquatic center facility in partnership with the YMCA, and the Council has previously advocated for purchasing a YMCA facility.
