The Poplar Bluff R-I School District is working on finishing up the new Early Childhood Center, which is located next to the Kindergarten Center.

The new Early Childhood center classrooms are designed to match the needs of the students, with lower sinks and toilets.
The new Early Childhood center library will serve as a center point of the school. It will include a circular desk designed to mimic a tree with a light styled after tree branches.
The Early Childhood center library also includes reading nooks with lamps that are peaked at the top to look like houses.
Both of the future Early Childhood center main classroom hallways are visible from outside of the library, which is next to the front office.

The building is themed like a neighborhood with cityscape decorations on the hallway walls that will serve as corkboards to display student work.
The facility will include a playground area specifically for the Early Childhood students. The current plan includes relocating some of the equipment at the current campus.
