Uniontown, PA—The Learning Lamp, a nonprofit provider of early education and early childhood workforce development, is partnering with Fayette County Career & Technical Institute (Fayette CTI) to offer child care for area families and learning opportunities for students enrolled in Fayette CTI’s early childhood and K-12 teacher prep programs in the school’s main building in Uniontown, PA.

Fayette CTI and The Learning Lamp invite the community to a ribbon cutting and open house at the school on Friday, February 27 at 10 a.m. at 175 Georges Fairchance Rd., Uniontown, PA 15401. The entrance to The Learning Lamp Center for Children in Uniontown is located at the back of the building. 

This new child care program will expand access to high-quality early childhood education for families in Fayette County, prepare children for entry to kindergarten, and support working families and Fayette CTI students and staff by providing convenient, reliable child care on site. The partnership will also offer Fayette CTI students access to employment and an array of educational opportunities designed to prepare them for careers in early childhood and elementary education.

The Learning Lamp is a regional leader in early childhood workforce development with more than 100 students enrolled in certificate and degree programs, including pre-apprentices and apprentices pursuing child development associate credentials, and associate and bachelor’s degrees. The Learning Lamp will work together with Fayette CTI to offer students access to continuing educational opportunities upon completing their education at the career and technical institute.
