ZEELAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Dec. 1, 2022) – One of Zeeland’s leading employers is offering a new perk to its employees.
Officials of Gentex announced on Wednesday a partnership with the Outdoor Discovery Center Network to create and develop a Gentex Discovery Preschool. A 43,000 square-foot facility will be built on the Gentex campus off of Centennial Street that would accommodate 12 daycare rooms, three infant rooms, office and common space, a food preparation area, and an indoor play center. Outdoor nature-based playscapes and a fishing pond are also planned.
The first-of-its-kind facility in this region would be operated by the ODC Network’s preschool division, with extended hours of operation, and the ability to handle up to 250 children for first and second shift workers. The speciality parts maker would offer discounted childcare rates as a benefit of employment.
Ground should be broken for the Gentex Discovery Preschool this coming spring, with an opening projected for sometime in 2024. No dollar amount for building the complex was disclosed.
The Outdoor Discovery Center is also behind the one-acre WOW Nature Play Park on the Window on the Waterfront site in Holland.
