Current Needs

Central to The Childhood League Center’s mission is serving children with special needs and their families. Inclusive programs are designed to promote positive development and learning for all children and to promote a strong sense of community among children, families, Center professional staff and volunteers. The Center’s school year programs for toddlers and preschoolers run from late August to early June. The Center’s home-based program for infants and toddlers runs throughout the calendar year.

Contact Family Services Specialists Nancy Milliken, Denise Woods or Carla Bearden at 614.253.6933 if you would like additional information about eligibility and enrollment in one of our programs. They would be happy to arrange a tour and answer any questions.
