Strawberry Square
A Harrisburg-based educational association has a new home downtown.
The Pennsylvania Association for the Education of Young Children (PennAEYC) has taken 2,800 square feet on the fourth floor of the Lerner Tower in Strawberry Square, according to building owner Harristown Enterprises.
“PennAEYC is excited to move to Strawberry Square,” said association Executive Director Jen DeBell. “Our new space improves our capacity as our organization grows and positions us for continued success in our work on behalf of children, families and early childhood professionals.”
The association is a membership-based advocacy organization of early care and education professionals in the commonwealth.
PennAEYC remains in the same general downtown Harrisburg neighborhood, having moved from space inside the Harrisburg Transportation Center.
In a press release, Harristown noted a number of educational organizations with a presence in Strawberry Square, including Best Friends Daycare, Capital Area School for the Arts, Temple University Harrisburg and the UPMC School of Nursing at Harrisburg University.
“We’re thrilled to have PennAEYC as our neighbors in Strawberry Square,” said Harristown President and CEO Brad Jones. “This location, even closer to the Capitol, will allow them to concentrate on what they do best—advocate for kids and the professionals who care for them.”
