Coal Pit Learning Center
The Coal Pit Learning Center (Francistown Road | Henrico County) is a local non-profit preschool that offers an enriching, full-day preschool program to students from low-income families.
Its curriculum includes exposure to subjects such as art, music, science, and constructive play. Its teachers encourage visual, motor, and pre-reading skills development according to the needs of the individual students. Through intellectually challenging and exciting material, Coal Pit devotes itself to equipping students with academic and social skills that will promote success in later schooling and life, aiming to help families escape the cycle of poverty. Since its founding in 1976, the Center has helped over 1,000 students graduate from preschool.
