Chauncey and Lucy Harmon Learning Center
The Lucy and Chauncey Harmon Learning Center is designed to revive the legacy of the Calfee Training School by offering high quality early childhood education and out-of-school care to families from any background or income level.
CCCC has collaborated with the YMCA of Pulaski County, New River Community Action’s (NRCA) Head Start Program, and Pulaski County Public Schools (PCPS) to design an educational program that will blend funding streams to provide care for 100 children.
The nearly 4,000 sq. ft. Harmon Learning Center will feature six classrooms designed for quality care. Along with early childhood learning, enrichment opportunities will be incorporated into the offerings and include local African American history, theater and creative arts, dance, and more.
The Harmon Learning Center will also include a licensed drop-in/hourly option to serve as a back-up for families who do not need full time care. Increasing the access and quality of childcare aids Pulaski County’s working families and the greater community. More parents will be able to find childcare during working hours, and more children will be prepared for Kindergarten, which is directly linked to their later academic success. Improving the childcare in Pulaski County is a paramount aspect of community and economic development.
