Clarksville, TN – The Clarksville Montgomery County Economic Development Council (EDC) in coordination with the Clarksville Montgomery County Industrial Development Board (IDB), the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, and Montgomery County, proudly celebrated the grand opening of The Youth Academy Industrial Park Childcare Facility located off Exit 8 and International Boulevard in the South Industrial Park on Thursday, August 1st.
This is the third Youth Academy location in the community and will provide a total of 800 full-time childcare slots, with 200 slots available beginning August 5th when the center opens its doors. The new facility will serve both the industrial park workforce and the growing need of local families with full-service amenities, including extended care hours, school transportation, and two swimming pools, and offer reduced rate childcare slots for 400 full-time Industrial Park Partners or military-affiliated families.
“Providing quality childcare that addresses the specific needs of our expanding industries and local military families is essential to supporting a strong workforce in Clarksville Montgomery County.” – Josh Ward, IDB Executive Director.
