PULASKI COUNTY, Va. – Since December, the historic Calfee Community and Cultural Center has served families throughout Pulaski County, revitalizing a building that once functioned as a school for the Black community during the segregation era. In recent years, community members have collaborated to restore the old structure, giving it a renewed purpose that aligns with its original mission of educating children.
At the heart of the center is the Harmon Learning Center, which provides an affordable daycare program throughout the week for local parents. This initiative aims to address the growing daycare shortage in the area, offering essential support for families in need.
Tune in to 10 News at 5 and 6 to hear from leaders of the Calfee Community and Cultural Center about honoring the history of the building and the families who passed through it. Daycare teachers will also discuss how the daycare program is assisting parents and the ongoing efforts to meet the childcare needs of the community.
