PAXTON, Ill. (WCIA) — After serving the community for more than half a century, the Paxton Community Nursery School is set to close at the end of this school year due to insufficient enrollment and financial challenges.
In a statement on Facebook posted Friday, the school reflected on the difficulties faced over the past decade. Around ten years ago, they started noticing a decline in the number of students. This coincided with a rise in new preschools in the area, which were not around when PCNS initially opened.
