History

The Chauncey and Lucy 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. 

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. 

Increasing the access and quality of childcare helps 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.

The center is named for Chauncey and Lucy Harmon, Pulaski natives and Calfee Training School educators who bravely struggled for better educational opportunities for children.
