New childcare center opens in Newport

NEWPORT — The Newport City Promise Community Early Care and Learning Center has opened.

An open house and ribbon cutting ceremony took place on Monday.

The new center is a licensed quality preschool/childcare center that serves children from 6 weeks to 5-years-old.

The center is located in the United Church of Newport, on 3rd Street.

The credentialed teaching staff provides programs that include a focus on school readiness skills, creative curriculum, nutritious breakfasts, lunches, and snacks, environments filled with age-appropriate learning and exploration, as well as general fun for kids.

The program also has a low child to teacher ratio, allowing for individual attention for each child.

The program is open all day, year round.
