KAI Enterprises is continuing its legacy of transforming communities with design renovations for expanded community services at the Bayer YMCA in North St. Louis. The facility’s grand re-opening was held on Nov. 10.
The Bayer YMCA has a historic past. After several attempts, it was founded in 1912 as the Afro-American Young Men's Christian Home Association. In 1964, its Junior Kindergarten program, which was initiated as part of the White House's program on early education, became a model for the national Head Start program.
