Creative Playrooms School Age in Parma, Ohio is a SUTQ 5-Star (Gold) rated facility serving ages 6 weeks through Grade 3, offering a Montessori program for children 3-6 years alongside dedicated school-age before and after care. The center's hours (6:30 am - 6:30 pm) support working families, and its staff hold Child Development Associate certifications with school-age endorsements and CPR/First Aid training. A unique on-site partnership with Parma Academy (an Early Kindergarten through 3rd grade public charter school) provides an integrated learning option. Limited parent review coverage online leaves some program details undocumented, and the facility focuses specifically on school-age and preschool populations rather than serving as a comprehensive infant-and-toddler center.
