Kutztown University has an amazing pre-school center called the Early Learning Center. It's been a feather-in-the-cap of the university for a long time.

Friday, citing "budgetary concerns" the university administration said they are shutting down the ELC in three weeks. This comes as a surprise for almost everyone associated with the Early Learning Center.

We want to keep the Early Learning Center Open!
