Additional Culture Details
CELC’s services make it possible for parents to work or attend school, while children are cared for in education-focused classrooms staffed by highly qualified early childhood teachers. Multiple locations serve children ages six weeks to five years in center-based care, and home-visiting by Early Learning Specialists is also offered through the ParentChild+ Program. The healthy development of young children is fostered through play-based curriculum, health and wellness assessments and programming, and wraparound services including onsite food pantries. In addition, established community partnerships provide the children with art and science enrichment. The centers are rated at the highest level of 5-Stars in Ohio’s Step Up to Quality rating system.
