Don Brewer Learning Center seeking scholars ages six weeks to five years

The Don Brewer Learning Center currently has openings for students from as young as six weeks up to five years in age. Now under the leadership of Florida Community College at Jacksonville and operated by Chappell Child Development, the Brewer Center is focused on increasing the literacy, numerical ability and school-readiness skills of children, particularly those from low-income families.

Children attending the Brewer Center will benefit from a qualified and experienced staff, delivering a curriculum that has proved effective in early childhood development to prepare children to learn and succeed in school. All children are given breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. Music and physical fitness resources are provided. Children age four have access to Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten.

Hours of operation are 6:30 a.m.–6:30 p.m. Costs are based on age and other factors, but childcare grants are available.

The Brewer Center is located at 1095 A. Philip Randolph Blvd. in Jacksonville. For information on eligibility or enrollment call 904.630.1268.
