We have worked hard over the last year to help add more options for Daycare and Preschool space in Harrisonburg and Rockingham, Virginia. This is a vital part of the economic success of our community – affordable and accessible options for working parents has to exist for business to grow. We partnered with the Shenandoah Valley SBDC, which through a program created by Harrisonburg City, offered business training for existing and hopeful Daycare business owners. We provided pro-bono design evaluations for buildings as these “clients” of SBDC started exploring their options. When the team at the Spanish Lab and Learning Center approached me to help them, I was excited to help.
The mission of the Spanish Lab and Learning Center is to provide high-quality language instruction and related services to students with the focus on bilingualism, cultural competency, and academic success. This growth of their business to offer a Spanish immersion pre-school in our community filled a need that I knew existed. Our clients are infectious with enthusiasm and I know they are going to do amazing things. After looking at several buildings that were just not the right fit, we found it. This renovation was going to be tricky, but the space is exactly the right place at the right time for this new business to take off.
