SISSONVILLE, W.Va. (WSAZ) - A new childcare center is setting up shop in Sissonville, WV.

A ribbon cutting was held this morning for The Learning Grove.

The owner of The Learning Grove, Hannah Bentel, was able to make the move thanks in part to attending Putnam County’s Childcare Business Workshop.

The workshops are made possible by grant funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission, and designed to help childcare providers start their own businesses.

The Learning Grove will open Oct. 1 in the former location of Little Kids Daycare.

They will offer spots for 60 children, with the hope of expanding in the future.
