Finding the right childcare
in Arlington, Mccomb & Mt Blanchard, Ohio

One of Hancock County's earliest settlements, Arlington was laid out in 1844 as a farming community and later became a significant railroad crossroads in the county's southern region. Named for General Alexander Macomb, the second Commanding General of the U.S. Army, McComb has been a quiet northwestern Ohio village since 1858 with deep roots in the cookie and cracker industry. Mt Blanchard sits elevated 58 feet above the nearby Blanchard River on whose banks it was founded in 1830, earning its distinctive "Mount" designation in the process.
