Newsflash

We are very proud to announce that our Riverside Drive center has been awarded the Star III rating in the "Step Up To Quality" program, effective March 2012. 

 

The Star 3 has only been achieved by 20% of all Star-rated programs, this is the highest award given by the program. 

 

We are also very proud to say that during the summer of 2011 our King Avenue center was awarded the Star II rating in the "Step Up To Quality" program and have received this award for the past three years.  Visit the Step Up To Quality website found in the "About Us" section of this webpage.

Our lead preschool teacher at our Riverside Drive center, Mrs. Kausar Waheed, was a double award winner in 2011.  She was awarded the Golden Apple by the Upper Arlington Civic Association and awarded as the Best Preschool Teacher in Franklin Country from the Columbus Association for the Education of Your Children.
