Prime Time Head Start and Early Head Start at Immaculate Heart of Mary in Lafayette recently celebrated the expansion of its campus. The celebration marked the opening of a new wing that, in addition to other renovations, is allowing Prime Time to serve nearly 200 more children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old on the campus this school year.

The new wing includes five new classrooms. Other improvements on the Lafayette campus include a new playground and renovation of part of the gymnasium into another five classrooms, renovations to its restrooms, repairs to the structure’s roof, and other general maintenance. In total, the work represents a $1.5 million investment in early childhood education in Lafayette Parish and brings the total number of children served at the school to nearly 300.

Prime Time was honored to have more than 50 local government officials, community partners, families, and staff on hand to help officially open the new wing. The celebration also featured a performance by students and helped to kick off October as Head Start Awareness Month.
