A nationally-accredited YMCA Children’s Learning Campus and Early Learning Laboratory will open in August at the new Oak Grove Elementary School. The program will work with the school district’s part-day preschool program at Oak Grove.

The Children’s Learning Campus will serve up to 72 children from 6 am to 6 pm. Children could attend preschool only, part-time childcare through the YMCA, full-time childcare, or preschool with wrap-around childcare. Missouri Western is also a partner in the project.
