    Jefferson Kids (Birth-5th Grade) + Renovated playground

    • Cost: $780,938.47

    • This renovation allows Jefferson Kids (Birth-5th Grade) to be in the same building. By putting all of Jefferson Kids in the same building, we eliminated two separate check-in processes in different buildings (Birth–Pre-K and K–5th Grade) and subsequently eliminated an inconvenient experience for parents.

    • A small welcome area was created using the former nursery entrance and the first classroom. 

    • This renovation will also allow for Mother’s Day Out/Jefferson Baptist Preschool to operate in the same area as Jefferson Kids during weekdays. By doing this, we will fully utilize the renovated space and be most cost-efficient.
