The expansion includes an EarlyON child care centre and offers various youth programming.
CEO Christian Wulff says they are trying to provide a connection to the community for new parents.

A youth leadership program and the youth empowerment program are being offered to kids 13 and 14 years old.
They are also providing assistance and guidance to those who are at-risk and to adults looking for employment.
The new site is not far from the old Walker Family facility that closed in 2022.
