Full Ranking Detail
childcare
Scribes & Scribblers Child Development Center is a family-owned and operated center in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, serving infants through school-age children since 1981. The facility is notably well-equipped, featuring 15 classrooms, an indoor gymnasium, cafeteria, and over 4 acres of outdoor space including two in-ground swimming pools and a putt-putt course—uncommon amenities for daycare providers. Extended hours (7 AM–6 PM) and programs ranging from standard classroom care to summer camp (ages 6–14) support working families and community engagement. The center holds a Bronze SUTQ rating rather than Gold, and parents should conduct on-site visits to assess management quality and facility security practices directly.
