The Child Garden offers quality child care and educational programs in a loving, caring, and fun environment where children can develop a lifelong love of learning! Our original center in LaGrange was founded in 1997, and our other three centers in LaGrange, Grafton, Oberlin and Wellington, OH opened in subsequent years. We strive to provide children in Southern Lorain County and surrounding areas with the ability to develop their skills and grow in a nurturing setting.

Dear Families,
At this time we are sorry to say with the guidelines set forth by the state government and ODJFS we need to cancel both our summer field trips and Kinder camp.
You will receive a full refund of your field trip fee if it was paid.
This will be mailed out in the form of a check within 2 weeks.
Please ensure we have your current mailing address. You can do so by logging into MyProcare.com or emailing your center.
These changes are frustrating. Please voice your concern to your state governments. Contact Governor Dewine at 614-644-4357and/or ODJFS at 1-877-302-2347 option 4 and voice what we are all feeling as a community.
We know that many of you are upset or concerned with the new guidelines coming out. We are aware of many businesses as well of day cares that are closing their doors due to this situation. We are simply at this time, with this phase, following the direction and the guidelines set forth by ODJFS and The Governor. We have been told that there is no time line for this and that it could be through fall or even indefinite until their is a vaccine for Covid. Some changes we have been told to follow for example, we were able to accommodate 12 infants at a time and now we can accommodate 4 or 6. Toddler classes were able to accommodate 14 and we are now legally allowed to have 6. We could have had 18 Schoolagers at a time and can now have 9. That's half capacity or better. That effects every one of us. We also now have to have dividers or walls between each group. That means if we have more than 9 in the schoolage group we must have a wall or divider. In some cases we are actually having walls built. Our gyms/activity rooms are becoming classrooms. We have less children that we can care for, need more staff and are building walls simply to operate with the new rules to accommodate as many families as we can at this time. These are not rules that are coming from us by choice but from the state government. Please voice your concern to your state governments. Contact Governor Dewine at 6146444357and ODJFS at 18773022347 option 4 and voice what we are all feeling as a community. Thank you!
