The Pikeville Area Family YMCA is reportedly closing its daycare center for financial
reasons.
The Appalachian News Express reports the Early Childhood Education Center in the Scholar House on Sadd Avenue will have its last day of operation on September 20
Officials say the center, which has been in operation for 18 years, has hit a wall with
funding hard to come by for childcare centers as well as an apparent “change in the
relationship” with the property management company.
Center officials are helping the families of the 47 enrolled children to find another nearby daycare.
But they say the Pikeville Y also hopes to soon reopen a day care, possibly at their main facility.
