Expressive Beginnings is a new concept in child-care centers, designed to celebrate children’s creative expression. Heritage Christian Services built this center at Pieters Family Life Center in Henreitta, NY featuring various Bears Playgrounds areas.

Heritage Christian Services, a nonsectarian human services agency supporting more than 1,500 children and adults with developmental disabilities, has 59 neighborhood homes, 22 day programs, respite, service coordination and a variety of community programs.

This Swiss Tree Fort Village along with other several other playgrounds at this site are a main attraction.

We use Natural Materials, like our beautiful, whole, round Northern White Cedar logs with all their natural features. Our cedar logs have a fat end and a skinny end like a tree (instead of a manufactured dowel), they have gorgeous wood grain, checking, knots, crooks, curves, etc. Our Bold, Strong and Built to last architecture beautifies children's spaces, while capturing a child’s imagination. Our nature inspired products and natural materials help stimulate a child’s enthusiasm for nature. In short, our products facilitate learning, create opportunities for exercise, help build social skills and help provide a unique connection to the great outdoors.
