Our facility was constructed in 1994 and is located on the SIU Carbondale campus at 650 South State Street, north of the Student Health Center. One unique feature of the Center’s design is the “over the rainbow” theme. The rainbow stained glass entry doors welcome children and visitors.  There are eight separate Classrooms and three different playgrounds.
