Finding the right childcare
in Latham & Piketon, Ohio

Piketon sits at the center of Ohio's nuclear heritage, home to the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant that enriched uranium for the nation's Cold War arsenal from 1954 until 2001. This small village of roughly 2,100 residents played an outsized role in American nuclear history and remains a hub of energy innovation, with uranium enrichment operations resuming at the site in recent years. The community is surrounded by outdoor recreation—Pike Lake State Park and the scenic Buckeye Trail provide fishing, hiking, and water activities for families.
