Finding the right childcare
in Cin & Cincinati & Newtown, Ohio

Cincinnati earned the nickname "Queen City" during its 19th-century ascent as a major inland port and cultural center, with its stunning Art Deco Union Terminal (completed 1933) featuring the nation's finest railway architecture and the largest collection of secular mosaics in America at over 18,000 square feet. Newtown holds a remarkable place in American medical history: on April 22, 1827, Dr. John Lambert Richmond performed the first successful and professionally documented cesarean section in the United States in a barely-finished cabin in this quiet village outside Cincinnati.

We scored each Ohio-licensed childcare center across 11 real dimensions — safety, curriculum, arts & music, infant care, kindergarten readiness and more.
