Proposed Facility

In 2013, we outgrew school facilities and began renting 2500 – 4000 SF by the hour at The PlayGround. The proposed Duncan site allows us to make a greater positive impact on the kids and the community. The 5,100 SF Duncan Site provides a safer environment with greater accessibility enabling us reach more kids.
