Full Ranking Detail
childcare
All Around Children – Middlefield is a Gold-rated Step Up To Quality provider in Middlefield, Ohio, serving infants through school-age children under the leadership of a family-owned Northeast Ohio operation with eight locations since 2008. The center maintains a 4.4-star parent rating from 16 reviews, with families particularly praising frequent staff updates and rigorous security protocols at drop-off. A play-based curriculum supplemented by music, art, and natural science enrichment classes, combined with extended hours (5:30 AM–6:00 PM) and modern facilities including a spacious age-appropriate outdoor playground, supports working families—as do partnerships with major Ohio childcare assistance programs including PFCC vouchers and on-site school transportation. Parent reviews reflect the broader Middlefield/Parkman network, and independent verification of this specific location's performance would be prudent.
