Finding the right childcare
in Commercial Poin & Williamsport, Commerial Point & South Bloomfield, Ohio

Williamsport's frontier hotels thrived in the 1800s as visitors sought out the area's natural sulphur and mineral springs, which were thought to have healing properties that attracted wellness seekers from across the region. Commercial Point is one of the fastest-growing villages in central Ohio, with a notably prosperous economy—it boasts the highest median household income in Pickaway County. South Bloomfield holds a distinctive place in American puppetry history as the former Puppetry Capital of America, a reputation earned through the work of pioneering puppeteer and educator Vivian Michael (1894–1976), who lived in the village and served as editor of the Puppeteers of America Puppetry Journal from 1951 to 1969.
