At RCMA, we love welcoming visitors—especially when they’re longtime partners in our mission to serve Florida’s children and families. This month, we were honored to host representatives from Head Start at two of our most exciting construction projects: the Lipman Family Campus for Children and Families in Immokalee and the Hopewell Child Development Center in Avon Park.
Both projects are powered in part by funding from Head Start, helping us meet the need for high-quality early childhood education in these vibrant communities.
The Lipman Family Campus, named in recognition of a generous gift from Lipman Family Farms, is shaping up to be a true cornerstone for families in Immokalee. When completed, the campus will include two new child development centers, a community center, two soccer fields and a new charter school. The campus is set to open later this year.
Equally exciting is the progress being made at Hopewell, which will expand access to early education in Highlands County and give local children the strong start they deserve. Highlights of that project include several classrooms, a full-size kitchen to serve the entire campus, a welcoming center office, and a safe, modern playground for little learners to grow and play. Construction is moving swiftly, with plans to open after the holiday break.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Head Start and the Lipman Family for investing in our shared vision. Together, we’re building more than buildings—we’re building brighter futures.
