JOHN DAY / CANYON CITY – Grant School District #3 has announced the district has received $1,450,000 in federal funding for the Grant Early Learning Center. Funds will be used to renovate an existing building that will be used for classrooms, professional training, and parent engagement, helping children with a smooth transition to kindergarten in this rural community.
GSD3 Superintendent Mark Witty said, “The $1.45 million grant will significantly support our collaborative team of 23 community partners in the creation of an Early Learning Center serving children from birth to age five. This center will allow partners to leverage shared resources and staff to create a coordinated, high-quality space that better meets the needs of our early learning community. We appreciate the continued support of Senator Merkley and Senator Wyden, whose commitment reflects a clear understanding of the critical importance of early childhood education and family support.”
We’ll provide updates on the Grant Learning Center as they come available.
