Reinvestment Fund financing helped Sheltering Arms construct a new early childhood education and family center in the Peoplestown neighborhood of Atlanta. Sheltering Arms is a 130-year old leader in early childhood education serving 3,400 children and their families in 16 high-quality centers in the Atlanta metro region, including its newest one in Peoplestown. The new 26,600 square foot center expects to serve 180 children annually from 6 weeks to PreK in 14 classrooms. Sheltering Arms worked with the community in the planning and design for the center and prioritized the first available seats for families in the neighborhood.
