childcare
The Learning Experience in Lewis Center is a corporate franchise serving ages 6 weeks through 12 years at a licensed capacity of 92 children. The center holds Ohio Step Up To Quality Bronze rating, employs teachers with early childhood education degrees, and uses the proprietary L.E.A.P. curriculum focused on whole-child development alongside hands-on enrichment in music, yoga, fitness, science, and sports at no extra cost. Extended hours (6:30 AM–6:30 PM), secure communication via the Bubbles app, and school-age transportation to Olentangy Local Schools support working families. Limited public review visibility is a common challenge for larger franchise locations, though parent feedback highlights attentive, consistent staff engagement.
