Great Bend USD 428 | Little Panthers Preschool and Admin Renovation

The Great Bend Administration and Little Panthers renovation project revitalizes a 42,000-square-foot facility that serves as the home for the district administration offices and Little Panthers Preschool.

 

The preschool, designed to accommodate 288 students, features 15 thoughtfully designed classrooms. Each classroom includes an attached teacher room and restroom for convenience and functionality. The facility also boasts a multipurpose space, a serving kitchen, and a new accessible playground. The space also showcases fun animal graphics throughout, creating an enjoyable environment for children to have a creative learning experience.

Each pod of classrooms is assigned a distinct color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue), and every classroom has a unique animal mascot. Bulletin boards line the hallways, providing space for classrooms to display projects, crafts, and information. The combination of colors and animals makes navigation easy, even for young children.

The district administration office renovation introduces an updated Board of Education meeting room, new offices, and over 30 workstations. A custom Great Bend inspired wall graphic adds a distinctive touch to the BOE meeting space.
