Placencia is a tourism village in the Stann Creek District located about 22 miles off the Southern Highway  at an intersection approximately 25 miles going south.  Its population is approximately 1,500 residents. Major economic activities in the village include fishing, diving, tour guiding, sport fishing and boat charters among many others.  There are a large number of restaurants and resorts in the village.
The began operating in the village’s community centre in 2009 with some 25 children between the ages of three and five years old.  However, the  community centre lacked adequate space, which was shared on a monthly basis for animal clinics, various village meetings and other events.  The ceiling leaked when it rained and there was no child friendly outdoor play area.  The new pre-school building, therefore, will enhance the children’s educational environment and prepare them for primary school education.  Studies show that early childhood education is key to improved performance in primary and subsequent schooling.
