Committed to providing underserved students with a cost-free education, the Milton Hershey School is working to build six Early Childhood Resource Centers (ECRCs) throughout the state of Pennsylvania as part of its $350-million Early Children Education Initiative. Among its most recent efforts, it released plans for its first ECRC, which will be located in Derry Township. The two-story Derry Township ECRC is expected to encompass 50,827 square feet and include educational outdoor spaces, and furnish free education for 150 students, from newborns to age 5. Studies have shown early childhood education programs can improve kindergarten-readiness for underserved students, increasing the likelihood that they will perform at a similar level to students from higher-income families. The Derry Township ECRC plans to open its doors in 2023 and employ 80 people.
