The facility includes a small gym and a preschool room. Workers said they have been looking to get the facility built over the last four years after they conducted a study and saw there was a need for additional childcare.

"Its a great resource for our community and it provides a needed early learning experience that is missing in our community," Agida Manizade, with the Radford Early Learning Center said.

The center will teach about 140 children ranging in ages from 6 weeks to 12 years old.
