Central Station Early Childhood Center

Pure is partnering with the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids Public Schools, and Head Start for Kent County to address a profound need within our community.  

The new Early Childhood Center at the Rapid Central Station will provide affordable childcare and early education for employees and users of the city’s public transit system. By removing the barrier of personal transportation to low-to-moderate income families, the partnership intends to make childcare more accessible and inclusive.
Pure designed classrooms and gross motor rooms in addition to staff support spaces within the existing building. Classroooms offer unique city views of downtown Grand Rapids. There are also two secure exterior play areas, with one located on the roof of the Rapid Central Station.
