PCC-Sylvania’s Child Development Center is celebrating the Week of the Young Child from April 3-8. The week is a way to help early childhood education programs all over the country to build awareness on child care issues. It’s also a time to help support programs that focus on early childhood education.
At PCC, the Child Development Center at Sylvania serves kids 3 months to 6 years old. The center is a lab for students in PCC’s Early Education and Family Studies program. For more information, contact Director Deborah Sipe at 503-977-4569.
