About ABC

MISSION STATEMENT:
Providing a Christian atmosphere where children will experience Christ’s love and will be encouraged to explore God’s world, the ABC Center’s learning program is built on monthly spiritual themes.

ABOUT THE CENTER:
At the First Lutheran ABC Learning Center, where we have a FIVE STAR “Step Up To Quality” rating with the State of Ohio, staff members are selected for their caring and compassionate manner with the children. The children are taught bible stories, songs, and prayers as a part of our weekly chapel times. At the ABC Learning Center, we have an open door policy. The children’s parents and friends are welcome to visit anytime. The Infant room is presently a group of ten who receive weekly care. Call if you need infant care or to get on our waiting list.

The First Lutheran ABC Learning Center is open from 5:00am to 6:00pm Monday through Friday. The Center is closed for Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day. We reserve the right to close the Monday after Christmas Day and New Year’s Day if they fall on a weekend. These are paid work days for patrons and staff. The Center is also closed when severe weather closes schools and businesses.

The ABC Center is licensed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The license is posted in the Director’s Office and on the Parent Corner (entrance to building). Job and family services are available to families who are eligible for financial assistance.

The Child Daycare Rule Book is available at the center in the Director’s Office and can be requested for review. The center’s licensing record, including compliance reports and evaluation forms from the health, building, and fire departments are available in the Parent Corner.
