The Child Care program is licensed by the Ohio Department of Human Services, and is directed by an adult teacher with staff assistance from college students who are enrolled in the Montessori Teacher Education Program. The children remain on the school premises for this program and are provided a wide range of activities that correlate with the Montessori curriculum.
