ABOUT FIO360
FIO360 (FIO comes from the Latin root word, “to become”) sits on the edge of Atlantic Station next to Dillard’s and a bevy of shops and restaurants. The finished product cost $3.7 million. FIO360, located in Atlantic Station, is an upscale child day care that promotes a green lifestyle. The center contains no plastics and features bamboo floors, Solatube skylights and saltwater fountains. It also boasts an alphabet climbing wall, non-toxic art supplies and a Lego Dome.
Crissy Klaus, Founder and CEO of FIO360, interacts with kids after lunch. Klaus, a mother of two, formed the company after a career in real estate and marketing. At full capacity, 268 children can be enrolled between the ages of six weeks through Pre-K. Summer camps are open to older kids.
In-house executive chef Marlon Carpenter makes organic, hormone-free meals every day. Dishes include curry chicken, red pepper quiche and arugula salad. It’s the kind of place that sweetens with only authentic Vermont maple syrup. The cranberry oatmeal bars for the afternoon snack are made from scratch.
To send a kid to FIO360, it costs $1,529 monthly for preschoolers and $1,708 for infants. The rooftop playground includes slides, swings, wooden doll house, bubbling brick fountains and wind chimes. The soft ground was made with recycled materials.
