CLC South

In the Summer of 2023, CLC was approached by a local partner and asked to open a second, smaller location in partnership with DCCCA First Step (3015 W 31st Street). Through thoughtful process, CLC Management and the Board of Directors came to the conclusion that this would be a great partnership to benefit the community as a whole and build our relationships with other partners in the communities.

The location had previously been used as a licensed childcare facility. CLC began the process of relicensing and hiring a Program Director and Teachers for CLC South. CLC South opened in December of 2023.

CLC South is open Monday - Friday, 7:30 AM - 4 PM. It is licensed for 24 children, 6 weeks - Preschool. To inquire about enrollment, please call us at (785) 312-8258 or email clc.south.lk@gmail.com.
