Full Ranking Detail
childcare
Lakewood Presbyterian Church Nursery School is a licensed, non-profit preschool in central Lakewood serving children ages 3–5. The program maintains small class sizes with a maximum of 18 children per classroom and employs state-certified teachers with early-childhood education backgrounds; all staff are CPR and First Aid certified. Teachers participate in ongoing professional development focused on physical, cognitive, and social-emotional learning, and the center maintains regular communication with families through monthly newsletters and annual parent-teacher conferences. The center does not currently appear in Ohio's quality rating system, and it does not serve infants or toddlers, making it a narrower option for families with younger children.
