Crossgates and Knowledge Learning Center, a Delaware corporation, recently agreed to a long term lease under which Crossgates will build a KinderCare Day Care Facility in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

Required engineering and site development planning for this new 10,000 square foot facility are currently being completed.  It is anticipated that Preliminary Land Development review will occur in April 2008.  Groundbreaking should be in mid-July, with completion by year's end.

This is Crossgates second project with Knowledge Learning Corporation. In the Fall of 2007, Crossgates acted as developer/consultant for private investors in constructing a new 10,000 square foot KinderCare facility in McMurray, Pennsylvania.  The building consists of classrooms for infants up to preschool children and includes after school programs along with 2 outdoor playgrounds.

Portland, Oregon-based KinderCare Learning Centers, the nation's leading early childhood education and care provider, operates nearly 2,000 community-based centers across the country, with more than 800 centers accredited by the National Association for Education of Young Children. Accreditation is awarded only to high quality early childhood programs reviewed by a national commission comprised of recognized experts in child care and early childhood education.
