Childcare facility expansion money coming in at CCS
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Central Christian School is on the home stretch of fundraising for its childcare facility expansion. "The historic fire station that's on our campus, we purchased that in 2012, and it's served a variety of purposes over the last several years at the school," said Dr. John Walker with Central Christian School. "We've used it as a industrial arts facility. We've used it most recently as a weightlifting facility and maintenance shop, and by the Lord's kindness, we just completed a brand new 1,600 square foot weightlifting facility that we should be moving into this summer. And so our students will be moving into there. What will happen with that fire station is that we'll actually be remodeling it and adding six classrooms to the east of that fire station, right off of 30th Street. And so we will be doubling our capacity. Right now we can service about 50 children, by the time that we complete this project, we'll be right around 100 children served at our childcare facility."
