Strengths
- Claims 23 years of childcare experience with this being their 3rd location
- Operates 24 hours daily, 7 days a week — one of very few Toledo centers offering round-the-clock coverage
- Accepts JFS (publicly funded) and private pay children
Considerations
- MAJOR: January 2026 incident — a staff member left three children (ages 6, 3, and 11 months) unattended for approximately one hour to visit a friend; children found alone in a dark daycare; arrest made
- MAJOR: Mother filed lawsuit against the center and employee; Ohio Department of Children and Youth issued a license suspension order
- January 2026 inspection failed: person with no eligibility to work was present; children and staff did not wash hands before eating or administering medication; child medical records incomplete
- August 2025 complaint investigation: parent alleged infant son was not fed while in care
- No positive public parent reviews found — the center's public review presence consists entirely of complaint reports
