childcare
Cdlc West Chester, Llc is a premium center-based provider on Market Place Drive in West Chester, Ohio, serving ages 6 weeks through 12, with extended before/after-school and summer programming. The facility stands out for ambitious on-site enrichments—STEM, Spanish, music, art, and culinary arts are integrated into daily rotations across specialist studios and classrooms. Amenities are exceptional: tennis court, baseball diamond, bowling alley, indoor gymnasium, ballet studio, and theater spaces underscore a commitment to experiential learning. Full-day tuition includes meals, and security infrastructure includes biometric entry, campus cameras, and panic buttons. However, the center carries multiple state compliance concerns; recent inspections through May 2026 noted "Partially Compliant" status with unresolved non-compliance items, and no SUTQ rating is on file. With an opening date of 2023, the facility is still building its track record, and prospective families would benefit from verifying current management and compliance remediation before enrolling.
