Dear Larry: Re ~- PoCo House

I visited PoCo House at your request, to see if the premises would be
suitable for Nursery School use during the day-time, to supplement the
present use as a drop-in centre. Available space on the lower floor
is approximately 612 square feet plus a certain amount of storage
space, and room for a second toilet to be added. Two hand basins
would be required which could cause a problem. There isa fenced yard.

In my opinion this space would be adequate for a Nursery School of
/12,- 15 children, if the organizers were willing to work closely with
the existing group, and planned their equipment to fit into the rather
limited space. It would be essential to involve the Drop-in kids in
the project, to avoid damage to equipment, graffite etc. Likewise the
pool table would have to be protected from the pre«school ‘children.

In summary this space could be used for a Nursery School, if the organ~
izers were desperate for space, and willing to work with the Drop~in
Centrs. It would not be suitable for Day Care because it is not avail-
able in the late afternoon.

Yours sincerely,

hang
