Finding the right childcare
in Cleves & Evendale, Ohio

Evendale has been home to GE Aviation's world headquarters since the late 1940s, where the legendary J47 jet engine—America's most-produced jet engine—was engineered and built, powering everything from Cold War fighters to the B-47 Stratojet. The Evendale complex grew into a global center for jet propulsion innovation and now employs thousands as GE Aerospace operates as a separate Fortune 500 company. Located between the Great Miami and Ohio Rivers, Cleves & Evendale's strategic western suburb location near Cincinnati made it a natural home for this aerospace industry legacy.
