Finding the right childcare
in Sullivan, Ohio

Sullivan sits in Ashland County, Ohio, a region with deep roots in American manufacturing heritage. In the early 1900s, Ashland became the "Balloon Capital of the World" when inventor Harry Ross Gill pioneered cigar-shaped balloons and founded the Eagle Rubber Company in 1913; by the 1960s, Ashland's rubber factories were producing roughly 8 million balloons daily, including the balloons used at Disney World. Sullivan itself was founded by hardy settlers from Vermont who arrived in 1817 to build a new community in the Ohio wilderness.
