The Family Support Center currently has a lease with the City for this city-owned building located adjacent to The Olympia Center. A sublease back to the City is the staff-preferred method to allow this to happen.

Background and Analysis:
The Family Support Center and Olympia Parks, Arts and Recreation are interested in more effectively using preschool space located in the Family Support Center building. This space has been underutilized for a few years. It is a larger space better suited for a preschool program than the current City programs have access to at The Olympia Center. This space provides for more flexibility as well as expansion as demand increases. The facility is already set up and furnished for a preschool program to include bathrooms in the preschool room and adjoining indoor and outdoor activity spaces. The Family Support Center has been looking for a partner to program this space as well as expose more families in our community to their services. The facility is adjacent to The Olympia Center which makes for a convenient partnership.
