"My 3 children all attended Children First of Cleveland from age 12 weeks until they started kindergarten. The location is fantastic, the staff is incredible and the programming is top-notch. My ‘children’ are well into their teens now and their 5 years at the Center were instrumental in preparing them for kindergarten and beyond. They still go back to visit with some of the staff that has been there
for years!”
