To kick-off our fundraising adventure, we will be selling Home Interiors candles now through April 30th!   KidSpace will receive 50% of the proceeds, so please take a flyer in the lobby or ask Julie or Sam for more information.   If every one of our 65 families sold just 3 candles, we would raise over $1,000!! 

 Thank you in advance for your help, and happy selling!

Most recently, we have met our goals to become a Two-star center by the State of Ohio!

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.

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:

  • Smaller class sizes so your child gets more attention
  • Highly trained teachers dedicated to continuous improvement
  • Planned learning activities based on Ohio’s Early Learning Content Standards and Infant and Toddler Guidelines
  • An outstanding work environment – paid staff benefits mean a professional atmosphere which retains good teachers for your child
