The Rittman Early Learning Center will be new this fall. Thanks to a grant from the state, the center will provide learning and care for students ages 3 to 5. It will serve a morning group and an afternoon group of students Monday through Thursday. The center will ultimately be located next to Rittman Elementary School. But until construction is complete the center will be housed in Heritage Hall, which is the former Rittman High School building.
The project will cost $445,000, and the district recently was approved to receive the grant. “Of that, $385,000 was for the actual construction of the building, $60,000 was for furniture and furnishings. Apart from the early learning center, ideas for the building aren’t official yet,
