The Mercyhurst Child Learning Center on Ash Street will be closing in 2025.

According to a letter sent to parents, the current Executive Director informed the board that she made the decision to leave to pursue other opportunities last week.

Also according to the letter, an issue in the office in December raised security and safety concerns to board members as well. 

The board made the decision to not reopen in the new year as a result of these instances.

In addition, the board said they will be in contact with parents about tuition payments and when they can pick up their children's items. 

The Mercyhurst Child Learning Center is not affiliated with Mercyhurst University.

Erie News Now is working to learn more about what led to the closure. The letter sent to parents can be found above.
