Finding the right childcare
in Little Hocking & New Matamoras & Vincent, Ohio

Little Hocking and New Matamoras are twin communities along the Ohio River in Washington County with deep roots in American frontier history—Little Hocking was first settled around 1789 and maintained a post office since 1824, while New Matamoras, named after the Battle of Matamoros in the Mexican-American War, was platted in 1846 and developed as a boom town for river shipping. Vincent grew from a railroad station established in 1853 when the Marietta & Cincinnati Railroad extended through Washington County, bringing commerce and connection to this small community.
