Finding the right childcare
in Groveport, Ohio

Groveport began as a merger of two rival villages along the Ohio and Erie Canal in 1846, with its name itself a compromise between Rarey's Port and Wirt's Grove. The city is home to the birthplace of John Rarey, the pioneering "horse whisperer" whose innovative, humane training methods became world-renowned in the 1800s. Today Groveport thrives as a modern logistics hub, capitalizing on its canal-era heritage through its proximity to Rickenbacker International Airport and leadership in warehouse and distribution jobs.
