Finding the right childcare
in Heath, Ohio

Known as the "City of Progress," Heath transformed from a rural village into Ohio's 196th incorporated city in 1966, experiencing explosive growth from 2,426 residents in 1960 to over 6,000 by mid-decade. The city became home to Newark Air Force Base, which housed the U.S. Air Force Aerospace Guidance and Metrology Center for over three decades until 1996. Heath is also home to the Indian Mound Mall, Licking County's first and only enclosed shopping mall, which opened in 1986 and anchored the city's retail development.
