Early Years center closes
On Thursday, children at Early Years Community Learning Center in Renfrew held a festive Halloween party. But on Friday, the center is opening its doors for the last time.
The Early Years location, situated on Route 68, will close permanently Friday due to problems finding staff to fill vacancies, according to Maureen Bergdahl, owner and founder of the Early Years Community Learning Centers company.
The Route 68 center, one of six Early Years locations in the county, employed seven teaching staff members and one director. Like many other child care centers across the county and state, it was having difficulty finding enough new staff to cover classrooms and fill holes left by departing employees.
