Full Ranking Detail
childcare
St Augustine Preschool & Child Care Center is a parish-affiliated, Ohio SUTQ Silver (3-star) rated provider at 633 W Paige Ave in Barberton, serving children 18 months through 12 years—one of the broadest age spans available locally. With over 35 years of community presence and a faith-formed church-based setting open to all families, the center offers flexible scheduling with full-week (4–5 day) or partial-week (2–3 day) options Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM–6:00 PM. However, the center has minimal public presence online; no parent reviews are currently available on major platforms (CareLuLu, BBB, or local review sites), and limited information about curriculum specifics or staff credentials has been published, making independent verification of parent experience difficult.
