Most recently, we have met our goals to become a Two-star center by the State of Ohio!</p>
<p>Only the top early care and education programs in Ohio receive this prestigious award and our center works tirelessly to make sure we meet and exceed these standards every day.</p>
<p><span id="more-311"></span>We received our two-star rating award because of our overall commitment to quality. We offer a wonderful environment for children to grow and develop. Some reasons we’ve received state recognition for our efforts include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Smaller class sizes so your child gets more  attention</li>
<li>Highly trained teachers dedicated to continuous improvement</li>
<li>Planned learning activities based on <em>Ohio’s Early Learning Content Standards</em> and <em>Infant and Toddler Guidelines</em></li>
<li>An outstanding work environment – paid staff benefits mean a professional atmosphere which retains good teachers for your child</li>
</ul>

Miss Tristyn is an Akron native who has currently returned to the area all the way from Indiana!  While in Indiana, she worked as a Speech Pathologist for children 3 – 18 years old.  She holds her Bachelor’s Degree in Speech Pathology from the University of Akron and plans on returning to school to obtain her Master’s in School Counseling.  Miss Tristyn has a lively and energetic personality that our 2 ½ year olds are sure to love.  Stop in the toddler room and say hello!<br />

<a href="http://www.chckidspace.com.php5-22.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Emily.jpg"><img class="alignright" style="margin-left: 15px;" title="Emily" src="http://www.chckidspace.com.php5-22.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Emily-150x150.jpg" alt="Emily" width="150" height="150" /></a>Welcome back Miss Emily and welcome Baby Addilyn Paisley!  Miss Emily has returned from maternity leave and has come back with an adorable bundle of joy!  Miss Emily will be returning to the older toddler classroom with Miss Tristyn.  If you are new to the center and have never met Miss Emily, make sure to introduce yourself.  She has an amazing light hearted attitude and laid back demeanor that works perfectly with the toddlers – and their terrible 2 tantrums!  Don’t forget to peek into the infant room and say “Hi” to Addilyn.  You can find her hanging out in a bouncer or the swing – just as laid back as Mommy.  Welcome back Miss Emily, we missed you and we are SO excited to finally have Addilyn here to brighten our day.</p>
