Childhood Center Cut at Kilgore College

KILGORE — Some changes are in store at Kilgore College. Because of lower local and state revenue, Kilgore College trustees voted Monday night to shut down the school’s child learning center and the 448 acre demonstration farm. The Childhood Center provides early childhood care and education for children from the ages 18 months to 5 years old. It also serves as a learning laboratory for the students enrolled in the Child Development & Education program. In other action, the Kilgore College trustees also consolidated the college’s continuing education program onto the main campus. They also combined the functions of the East Texas Oil Museum and annual Rangerette Showcase into one office.
