Full Ranking Detail
childcare
Cherubs Of Grace Preschool is an Ohio-licensed, Christian-based center serving ages 3–5 with a play-based curriculum designed for kindergarten readiness at 229 W Jefferson Street in Stone Creek. Operated for over 20 years with experienced staff and a Step Up To Quality recognition, the program emphasizes music, crafts, Bible lessons, and social interaction in a small, structured setting. The part-time schedule (Tuesday–Thursday, 9 AM–3 PM) limits its utility for families needing full-time childcare, and enrollment requires that children be potty trained; the absence of public parent reviews prevents independent verification of parent experience.
