Family & Children’s Place acquires St. Benedict’s Center for Early Childhood Education

Press Release


Family & Children’s Place (FCP) has acquired the property currently operated by St. Benedict’s Center for Early Childhood Education.


To ensure the continuation of Head Start services for 106 children in West Louisville neighborhoods, FCP will assume full operations and responsibility of the center. There will be no disruption to Head Start services, and it will be renamed The Family & Children’s Place – Head Start Center. The center is located at 946 S 25th St, Louisville, KY 40210.


Family & Children’s Place envisions a vibrant Early Childhood Education Center – promoting kindergarten readiness and early learning in Louisville. It will serve as a model in providing holistic and transformative family support, teacher training, and early childhood development in a nurturing and enriching environment, designed to foster children’s growth.


Since 2020, FCP has been the federal grantee for half of the Head Start programs in Jefferson County, while offering home-based, Early Head Start services for all of Jefferson County. Last year, FCP and our childcare partners served 484 children, 384 families, 885 individuals, and provided 39,518 total client contacts in Head Start.


This purchase was made possible through the support of the Kentucky G.R.A.N.T. Program (Government Resources Accelerating Needed Transformation) and the Office of Head Start.


There will be a public celebration, upon the completion of renovations, in the fall.
