Construction is underway for The Learning Center at Arris Lofts located at 27-28 Thomson Avenue. Signage on the facility has been up since July1 and will be looking to open sometime in “mid-to-late” spring according to Danielle Clarke, Senior Social Media Manager for The Learning Experience.
“As the population of preschool-age children and the demand for quality early education continue to rise in New York City – one of the nation’s largest cities – we are committed to doing our part to create a safe, secure learning environment and strong educational foundation for all our students which will have an important impact on the future of the community,” said Nicole Collins, Owner, The Learning Experience, Long Island City.
