Lemay Child and Family Center is excited to announce additional funding for the Outdoor Learning Center.  The CarMax Foundation has awarded Lemay Child and Family a $10,000 grant to assist in completion of the Outdoor Learning Center. The Outdoor Learning Center will be completed over the next 90 days. The completed project will include a bike path that will allow children to expand their gross motor skill development, a court area where children can play basketball, four square, hopscotch and other court games and also  a dedicated infant toddler area with pour in place surfacing and equipment for our youngest children ages 6 weeks through 3 years old.

The entire project will have a nature focus and will  include multiple garden areas, sensory boxes for all age groups and a water exploration area. The Center’s programs teach children and families the importance and benefits of outdoor physical activity and nutritious foods.
