A new, locally-owned, and operated educational center will open in Dumfries on Sunday, May 1, 2022.
The JOy of Literacy Learning Center at 17646 Main Street will provide tutoring for grades 3 through 8, including cursive writing by age group, Phonics, STEM Workshops, professional development workshops for adults, court-mandated co-parenting seminars, and seminars and retreats.
Cydny Neville, a member of the Dumfries Town Council and a Fairfax County public schools teacher, is the entrepreneur opening the new business via the Neville Empowerment Network Inc.
“The Neville Empowerment Network, Inc. wants to make quality educational opportunities that target the whole child accessible to all,” says Neville. “Therefore, the organization has created scholarship opportunities where members of the community can donate to support a scholarship fund for clients serviced through ACTS and support a scholarship fund for general members of the community who request financial assistance to enroll their child in the tutoring program, or any program offering at an adjusted rate as long as funds are available.
The learning center is located inside the old Belle Framing Shop. The community is invited to attend a Grand Opening Celebration at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 1.
“This time we are living in is a crucial time to address the learning gaps and disparities in education brought on by the pandemic and those that existed long previously,” adds Neville.
