Third Bend Studio, a preschool and after-school childcare center, will tentatively open for business in mid-August, co-owner Decota Johnson said. Enrollment is currently open through the company's Facebook page.
The center will function as a preschool from 7:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and provide after school activities for children ages 3-10 from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.
The business features several different play areas where children can draw, play with building blocks, create fabric and Play-Doh art, and play with animal and dinosaur figures. The facility also has a dedicated space for reading and an outdoor play area with yard games, and Johnson said she is working to install more playground equipment such as swings and a slide.
Johnson, a former teacher at the Center for Young Children, co-owns the business with Maggie Harvey and Seda Turk, also former Center for Young Children teachers.
