ALLOUEZ, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The CP Center in Allouez offers therapy services for people of all ages and all abilities.
For a while, space at the CP Center had been an issue, but that’s no longer the case.
CP launched a $7.5 million campaign which allowed them to build an addition and update the original building.
Construction began last May and a year later, space is open.
Grace Quinlan has been a regular at the center for over six years. Her mother, Jill Quinlan, tells FOX 11 it’s a community for their family.
“Grace’s needs are pretty complex and she’s got medical needs, and sensory, and speech needs. And just overall, I’ve needed a lot of encouragement and training to know how to help my own daughter.”
The Quinlan family is not alone.
Most of the center’s programs have had wait-lists.
“We just had a high demand for our services,” said Kristen Paquet, director of marketing and communications at CP.
“And so after a lot of our feasibility studies and really just understanding the community needs, we decided to launch a capital campaign for this 21,000 square-foot project.”
Paquet says the space not only makes everything more efficient, it allows 16 more spots in childcare a day and 31 more spots for therapy a month.
The new space will now be home to all the therapy and childcare sessions and the original building will house the aquatic center and adult day services.
