Lisa Raths is capitalizing on the family-friendly nature of East Lansing by opening a 10,640 square foot Christian daycare on Coleman Road.
“East Lansing is where the growth is, and it’s where our demographic is,” Raths says. “We needed to make sure that we were picking the right spot. East Lansing has growth and is still growing. It’s potentially the most stable area.”
The Apple Tree Christian Learning Center will be constructed on a 1.23 acres piece of land at 3341 Coleman Road in East Lansing. Once opened, the center will be able to handle 170 children six days a week. Raths says the Center will cater to a wide range of ages starting with infants and ending with 12-year-olds.
“This is great for the area,” she says. “We’re not a huge employer, but we’ll bring employment to the area.”
The Center is slated to be opened by early spring 2008.
