On Wednesday, Chappaqua crossing announced that it has signed a long-term lease for 24,000 square feet of space in Building 400 of its office campus with WeeZee World of Yes, I Can!, a challenging and appealing play space for children with conditions ranging from dyslexia to autism.
Already under construction, by March 2012 WeeZee will open its 15,000-square-foot indoor sensory playspace which WeeZee’s website characterizes as “somewhere between a children’s museum, an indoor playground and a children’s learning center – WeeZee World will offer a host of highly engaging, interactive and imaginative sensory experiences in a safe, supervised environment.”
The remaining 9,000 square feet will serve as corporate headquarters of ACCESS Nursing Services, a nursing and home health care aide service operating in New York, New Jersey and Maryland. Both ACCESS and WeeZee were founded by Briarcliff resident Louise (nickname: WeeZee) Weadock, a child psychiatric nurse.
WeeZee will be open seven days a week, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and provide around 100 full- and part-time jobs as well as internships for students.
ACCESS currently operates from Pleasantville; WeeZee is a new creation. Weadock was to have opened both businesses last October in Armonk’s Labriola Court, but found she needed the greater space available at Chappaqua Crossing. The 24,000-square-foot ACCESS and WeeZee tenants join Northern Westchester Hospital and Fiber Media, each with 35,000 square feet, Mount Kisco Medical Group (40,000 square feet) and Government Services Administration (GSA, 6,000 square feet).
