On Monday evening, several members of our district staff and leadership teams gathered to celebrate a ribbon cutting for the expanded and renovated Early Education Center and Birth to Five facility.
Our new and improved building features bright and colorful learning spaces which include: a playhouse, fully renovated library, classrooms, testing areas, offices, and a new storage area that holds toys, clothing, and supplies available for loan/distribution for those in need.
This project would not have been possible without the grant received from the Illinois State Board of Education. The grant collected around 240 applications, eight of which received funding. We are incredibly grateful to have received the largest award of 6.4 million dollars.
We are overjoyed to offer this space to our littlest learners!
Thank you to STR Partners, Allied Facility Partners, Schreiber Philanthropy, our RLAS Board of Education, administrators, staff, and the Round Lake District 116 Ed Foundation Kindergarten Readiness Committee for supporting our vision.
