TARRANT COUNTY, Texas — Tarrant County College announced Wednesday that it will be closing its Children’s Center Laboratory on Friday.

The Children’s Center Laboratory is located on the college's Northeast campus and has been operating for 50 years. The early childhood development preschool program celebrated that milestone in September.

TCC has not given any details surrounding the closing.

Currently, 23 children are enrolled in the program, according to TCC. Affected parents are now tasked with finding a new preschool for their children within a matter of days.

"We’re devastated," Cami Wheelis, who has two children enrolled in the program, told WFAA. "Having to tell your four year old he only has two days left with his teacher and class after moving him schools and homes in August is pretty devastating!"

This is a developing story. WFAA will update this article as we work to learn more.
