Finding the right childcare
in W Carrollton & Washington Township, Ohio

West Carrollton, a suburb of Dayton along the Great Miami River, was once a major transportation crossroads—the small city had five forms of transport converge within its borders: trains, canal barges, riverboats, trolleys, and automobiles. Washington Township was shaped by limestone quarrying during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when local stone was extracted for building and construction across the region; today it's a thriving northern suburb of Dayton anchored by the Centerville City Schools, ranked first in the Dayton area and in the top 10% of U.S. public school systems.
