HCC Celebrates Opening of the Regional Center for the Advancement of Children

Haywood Community College celebrated the opening of the new Regional Center for the Advancement of Children with an open house and ribbon cutting ceremony on August 7. Members of the community, the college campus, area legislative representatives, and current children enrolled in the center helped commemorate this event. 

The center is a state-of-the-art facility that can serve up to 140 children from the age of six weeks old to five years old. It is the result of a collaborative effort between the county, private donors, statewide foundation, and state funding. In addition, the center will be used by HCC early childhood and nursing students to observe and as a hands-on lab.   

CeCe Hipps, Executive Director of the Haywood County Chamber of Commerce, said, “Everyone at Haywood Community College should be congratulated for their vision and for investing in the number one resource in the community, our children.”

“This center is a dream come true. It was well worth waiting for,” said Janice Edgerton, Executive Director of the Region A Partnership for Children. “The whole community is responsible for this.”
