A generous gift was recently presented to Butler County Community College to expand the school’s Children’s Center.
John L. Wise III and family donated $1 million to the Pioneer Proud Campaign in honor of his sister, Amy W. Wise.
The Children’s Creative Learning Center on BC3’s main campus will be expanded, by nearly double its size, and redesigned including enclosing a walkway between two original classroom buildings.
The state awarded BC3 a capital grant to match the funds for the expansion.
The center a state-licensed preschool and childcare center for children of BC3 students, employees, and community members. The center is also a resource for academic programs on campus including Nursing, R.N. and Early Childhood Education, Pre K-4.
The new facility will be named in honor of Amy, who, her family says, had a lifelong passion for early childhood education and a special talent for creating a love of nature in young students.
“We are honored that the Wise family has chosen BC3 to pay tribute to Amy. We believe that our childcare program reflects the values that Amy held dear – that children learn best when allowed to explore and discover at their own pace. This is a wonderful legacy gift,” Dr. Nick Neupauer, BC3 President, said in a statement.
Including this donation, the Pioneer Proud Campaign has raised nearly $7 million.
