President Jeff King said in a news release. \u201cThe opportunity to give back to the North Port community and to create an environment where families and children can thrive is a wonderful and exciting opportunity for all of us at King Plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPartnering with the YMCA of Southwest Florida ensures the operation of a first-class early learning academy, and we are excited to complete this new Early Learning Academy as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A five-year absence of service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jones took over leadership of the Venice-based YMCA in October 2019, shortly after the nonprofit stopped providing daycare services in the city, when it was still known as the SKY Family YMCA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When SKY merged with the Charlotte County YMCA in 2017, it inherited a 67-slot daycare facility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The daycare was operated out of 5930 Sam Shapos Way, which is part of a 10-building government-owned complex at Dallas White Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city-owned facility had been poorly maintained, with an inadequate kitchen and was frequently plagued by plumbing issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, SKY wanted to partner with the city of North Port to build a 120-child preschool modeled after one it opened that April in partnership with PGT Innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traction never materialized on that effort, as city officials chose to look at the Dallas White campus as a whole, in an attempt to foster a public-private partnership to redevelop that area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During that time the Y started a transition from a daycare philosophy to early childhood education centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YMCA of Southwest Florida currently operates four of those academies. The newest one, the 11,000-square-foot Suwyn Early Learning Center, with room for 150 children, opened in Bonita Springs, in the fall of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"869\" height=\"868\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kingplastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bonita-Springs-YMCA.jpeg\" alt=\"Bonita Springs YMCA\" class=\"wp-image-27821\" style=\"width:269px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kingplastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bonita-Springs-YMCA.jpeg 869w, https:\/\/www.kingplastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bonita-Springs-YMCA-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.kingplastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bonita-Springs-YMCA-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.kingplastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bonita-Springs-YMCA-768x767.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.kingplastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bonita-Springs-YMCA-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 869px) 100vw, 869px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Battling a \u2018childcare desert\u2019&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Early Childhood Education Center that the YMCA plans to build in partnership with King Plastic would \u2013 with some modifications \u2013 be modeled architecturally after the Bonita Springs center but operated in a similar fashion as the center built in cooperation with PGT Innovations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that model, PGT employees get first preference for open slots, while the center also has extended operating hours to accommodate for different employment shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are still in the process of securing funding,\u201d Jones said. \u201cWe\u2019re working with King Plastic to see what portion they\u2019re going to do. Of course the Y will also have a portion and we\u2019re working with municipalities for some opportunities there but we are in \u2018Go,\u2019 mode.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>North Port city commissioners referenced the YMCA project at two recent open meetings \u2013 one to discuss finance options for a new police station and one to kick off the 2024-25 fiscal year budget process \u2013 but did not express any interest in contributing city funds on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>City Manager Jerome Fletcher, who also sits on the YMCA board of directors, told the commission that there may be a projected $500,000 shortfall in that funding plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have asked at the state level, we have asked at the county level,\u201d Fletcher said during the March 19 budget workshop. The YMCA project was listed as a possible capital item for the city to con sider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>City Commissioner Barbrara Langdon said, \u201cI think our role is to help facilitate that funding; it may or may not result in a budget item.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fletcher noted that, like other communities, the city of North Port had more available daycare slots prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its announcement of the project the YMCA cited multiple childcare center closures after Hurricane Ian and characterized North Port as a childcare desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once funding and permits are secured it should take about 12 months for the facility to be built.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jones said it is extremely important to bring early learning services to North Port but added it\u2019s too soon to determine what other services the YMCA of Southwest Florida would bring back to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou look at the growing community that it is, you look at the kids in that community and the need for quality child care, we find that it\u2019s essential at this stage to get into the community,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s going to give us a great foundation to serve those who need us the most \u2013 the youngest kids.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
