The institute, funded through a gift from Karen and Tom Rutledge, brings teachers from The Village, a nationally accredited childhood education center located in California, Pa., to campus to provide high-quality preschool education to eligible children ages 3-5.
All children attending the Rutledge Institute preschool receive full scholarships. Beginning in Fall 2021, the number of children will double — from 20 to 40 — and each will receive a hot lunch. For enrollment information, visit www.thevillagecares.org/rutledge-institute, email sears@calu.edu or call 724-938-5455.
