Current Needs

Unique to Columbus, The Childhood League Center is committed to serving young children with special needs and annually serves more than 400 of our community’s youngest learners. Since 1945, The Childhood League has been committed to providing the best possible early learning opportunities.

Home to six early childhood classrooms, the Center is alive with energy and excitement each school day as children with special needs and their typically developing peers actively explore the enriched learning environment, develop new skills and discover the joys of friendship. In addition, the Center is proud to be one of only nine Franklin County Help Me Grow service providers providing home-based support and education to nearly 275 children and their families.

A commitment to inclusion, collaboration and diversity guides program design and contributes significantly to each child’s growth and achievement. Influenced by the children’s interests and developmental needs, a rich emergent curriculum and individualized learning goals are seamlessly connected by the Center’s licensed teaching teams, pediatric therapists and support staff. As partners in learning, the Center’s children engage all of their senses and act as researchers: asking questions, testing theories and constructing knowledge.
