Simpson Bright Space Project Honoring Jim Greenman:
On February 14, the children from Simpson Housing Services cut ribbons to officially open their Bright Space where they will have a dedicated, warm, enriching area to play and learn!

Thanks to staff and volunteers from seven Minnesota Full Service and Back-Up Child Care Centers at Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Walman Optical, Simpson Housing Services, and Bright Horizons Foundation for Children for making this a reality.

The Bright Space consists of four separate rooms and will serve approximately 100 children per month. In creating the spaces we are emphasizing literacy through the use of a variety of materials and equipment while providing technology for school age children to be competitive in their schools in supporting the mission of Simpson Housing Services to end the cycle of poverty through education.
