The 25,000 square foot facility that will be located at 2400 Intelliplex Drive near Major Health Partners Medical Center will provide daycare and early education opportunities for up to 200 children once it opens.
Mark McNeely, president of the Shelbyville Redevelopment Commission, which is financially backing the project, attended the meeting Monday night at City Hall to speak in favor of moving the project forward.
“I highly recommend this,” said McNeely, who lives very near where the learning center will be built in Intelliplex Park on 3.6 acres.
Local attorney Dennis Harrold, another resident that will live near the facility, also addressed the Plan Commission Monday.
“The overall plan and the features of this appear to be something we really need,” said Harrold. “My wife worked at the hospital until she retired in 2018. It is something that I think will help the hospital and their employees to have a place to bring their children.
“We also have children with smaller children and we know what a difficult time it is to find a daycare for their kids. Shelbyville schools has a beautiful facility that is pretty new but it can’t accommodate everybody. So I think this is a great asset to the north side of Shelbyville and would serve the community very well.”
The early learning center will be for children from infants to pre-kindergarten ages. Each age group will have up to four classrooms and a dedicated playground/outdoor learning environment.
The facility’s scheduled groundbreaking ceremony is Aug. 9 at 10 a.m.
