Three cheers for The Opportunity Project (TOP) Learning Center North, which will hold a groundbreaking ceremony at 10 a.m. Wednesday at 2200 N. Jardine. The $3 million, 23,000-square-foot early childhood education center is scheduled to open August 2006 and will be part of the new Youth Empowerment Zone planned on the old Heartspring campus in northeast Wichita. The center is expected to serve 200 children and is a partnership between the city of Wichita, the Wichita school district and TOP, a nonprofit organization that operates another education center in the Oaklawn-Planeview area of Wichita and was formed by Wichita entrepreneur Barry Downing. Hip, hip, hooray.
