The State Bond Commission voted for funding to help two local early childhood centers during their monthly meeting today. The grants will go towards several upgrades at the centers including $11,000 to Community Children’s Center in Mansfield for fence and rug replacement, and $7,500 to the Mansfield Discovery Depot to update cabinets and sinks in three classrooms.
“Early childhood education has been proven to be important to growth and education down the road, and students should have safe, comfortable surroundings to learn and play in,” Rep. Haddad said. “The two grants will go towards making that learning environment a reality for these children.”
