Play is the work of young children, and the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) early learning content standards are implemented through a Developmentally Appropriate (DAP) curriculum that provides opportunities for discovery, exploration, and experimentation.
Read MoreThe center strives to be a model of Developmentally Appropriate Practices. Guidelines established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children are followed. At the CLC we believe that children learn primarily through active play while exploring and interacting with their environments. That belief is based on sound research by leading theorists such as Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, Maria Montessori, Erik Erikson, and the acclaimed early childhood movement from Reggio Emilia, Italy.
CLC maintains open communication throughout your child's day to establish trust and respect with our families.
With individual key codes for our access control and live camera streaming, safety is a top priority for CLC.
