Life-Long Learning
Adult Enrichment
A multitude of classes are available at reasonable cost through a joint program of the public schools, Danville/Boyle/KSD Community Education. The classes are held at different locations in the schools, the Community Arts Center, and at private businesses. The subjects studied range from beginning and intermediate computers and using various software, accounting and bookkeeping, to auto maintenance, creative writing, visual and performing arts, and crafts, such as crochet, or pleasurable skills, such as contract bridge.
An array of enrichment classes is also available at the Danville campus of Eastern Kentucky University. Senior citizens may audit classes at Centre College for a reasonable fee.
Early Childhood Education
Young children in the community may participate in a preschool evaluation program for making sure their motor, cognitive, and language skills and behavioral development are sufficient for a classroom experience. State-certified public preschool is available for children aged three and four within local school systems on a tuition basis, with no cost to children from disadvantaged homes or who have special needs.
Danville Montessori School provides supportive, individualized instruction to encourage personal responsibility, self-control, and independent problem solving for young children, beginning at age three.
Even Start is a family literacy program which combines early childhood and adult education that serves parents of children from birth to age seven.
Wilderness Trace Child Development Center serves children ages birth through five with special needs. Services include developmental intervention, speech/language therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy in both home-based and center-based settings.
Early childhood programs and child care for babies and toddlers and after school for children up to twelve are available at the hospital-affiliated, A Children's Place. Similar services are available through church-affiliated preschool programs and private day care facilities. Please check the Member Directory to learn which ones are members of the Chamber.
