Full Ranking Detail
childcare
The Learning Tree Preschool And Daycare LLC is a center-based provider at 201 Ohio Ave. in McDonald, OH, serving infants through school-age children with extended hours (6:30 AM – 6:00 PM) that accommodate working families. Founded in 2014, the center is SUTQ Bronze rated and accepts PFCC vouchers for subsidy-eligible families, with after-school care available. However, the center currently operates under Initial Provisional License status rather than a full standard license, and its 2025 annual inspection was marked Partially Compliant with ongoing licensing concerns. A single public review cited staff professionalism issues. These regulatory and feedback gaps suggest that families should pursue additional due diligence before enrollment.
