New playground finished at local preschool

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — Pre-schoolers who go to Alta Care Group's McCartney Learning Center will have a new place to play come warmer weather. Alta and PNC officials, along with some of the preschoolers, cut the ribbon Wednesday morning on a new playground. It was paid for by a $75,000 grant from PNC Foundation. Alta teamed up with PNC and Meyer Design to create the outdoor play area. The design plans included safe, stimulating surroundings with a nature-filled aesthetic that encourages creative play. The playground also features a reading nook, a stage and a wooden arch bridge. 'To have this playground for the kids, t be outside, help with their physical well-being, social well-being, mental health and having a recreational place to play at their preschool,' Alta Care Incoming CEO Vince Paolucci said. The project is part of PNC Foundation's 20-year anniversary of PNC Grow Up Great, placing a special focus on outdoor play and learning. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
