Quality childcare close to a parent’s employer is a key issue for attracting and retaining outstanding healthcare professionals to West Michigan, and a benefit of working for one of the area’s most prominent healthcare facilities. The company just set the bar higher after breaking ground for a brand new daycare facility designed specifically with children and their caregivers in mind.

GRAND RAPIDS — The owner of a local land development company says the new, 22,000-square-foot commercial building his company will construct on the site of a long-vacant furniture manufacturing business will provide his firm the opportunity to transform a stagnant property into an attractive, useful space.
For employees at Spectrum Health, the project will simplify daily commutes to and from daycare.

The building will be leased to Spectrum Health for a childcare and development center, allowing the hospital to merge current child development activities from two separate locations in the metro area.
