Cincinnati, OH — Best Point Education & Behavioral Health is proud to share the success of last Thursday’s volunteer build day at the new Western & Southern Childcare & Wellness Center, where more than 20 employees from Encore Talent Solutions came together to transform the outdoor space into a vibrant playground for children and families.
Led by Greg Vollmer, President of Encore Talent Solutions and Best Point Board of Trustees member, the team installed playground equipment, painted interactive activity courts, and planted greenery to create a safe, inspiring environment on Cincinnati’s West Side.
“This partnership reflects the true spirit of community,” said John Banchy, President & CEO of Best Point. “Encore Talent Solutions helped build a future where children can play, learn, and grow together.”
Volunteers assembled music panels, sensory tables, stepping stumps, and an arch bridge, and painted designs like hopscotch, four square, and alphabet games. They also planted arborvitaes and filled the sandbox, bringing color and life to the new space.
The build was made possible through collaboration with The Adventurous Child, a local expert in educational play environments, who provided tools, materials, and on-site guidance.
The Western & Southern Childcare & Wellness Center is set to open in November with its Ribbon Cutting scheduled for Friday, November 21st. This marks a major milestone in Best Point’s mission to provide integrated education, behavioral, and health services that strengthen families across Greater Cincinnati.
