Finding the right childcare
in West Milton, Ohio

West Milton is the hometown of Charles Furnas, who became the world's first airplane passenger when he flew with the Wright Brothers in 1908—a distinction that helped launch the aerospace industry. After his pioneering flights, Furnas returned to West Milton where he established his own garage and operated an early movie theater, leaving an indelible mark on this small Miami County community.
