Full Ranking Detail
childcare
Victorum Learning Center in Celina, OH operates from a modern 8,400-square-foot facility on nearly 3 acres, with 8 classrooms, a Level 3 kitchen, and extensive indoor and outdoor gross motor areas. It is SUTQ Bronze-rated, uses the Creative Curriculum system with Teaching Strategies Gold assessments, and offers before- and after-school care and summer camp for school-age children. However, state officials confirmed substantiated child abuse in 2023, with inspectors documenting children being hit and dragged, staff-to-child ratios not being met, staff yelling at children, and unexplained bruises on children. These findings present serious red flags for prospective families and warrant careful due diligence before enrollment.
