Full Ranking Detail
childcare
YMCA Early Learning Center at Concord UMC is a Silver SUTQ-rated, YMCA-affiliated childcare facility at 1123 S. Main St in Englewood, Ohio, serving infants from 6 weeks through preschool-age children (up to 5 years). The center operates with separate infant-toddler and preschool programs using Creative Curriculum, emphasizing character development and hands-on exploration through play and indoor/outdoor activities. Operating 6:30am–6:00pm Monday through Friday, it accepts Ohio Publicly Funded Child Care (PFCC) subsidies, offers Our Extra Hands Program scholarships, and provides military and first-responder discounts to support working families. The absence of public parent reviews limits independent verification of center experience, and its Silver (rather than Gold) SUTQ rating represents a gap compared to top-tier competitors.
