Our quality program begins with caregivers, teachers, the children, their families, the community and the trusting responsive relationships that develop among them.

Welcome

We have been providing exemplary child care and education at this location for over 55 years. We currently have limited child care availability and we encourage you to immediately submit your application to reserve your enrollment space.

Since 1965 our Ohio Department of Education State Chartered School has cared for and educated thousands of children from the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky areas. From 6:00am to 6:45pm, children ages 6 weeks through school-age attend our year-round Child Development Programs in our 11,000 sq. foot facility located on 7 acres of age-appropriate, developmentally designed play and environmental learning centers.

Temporary Mandatory Policies and Procedures Dear Blue Ash Educational Building Families, We are closely monitoring the developments of the Coronavirus in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the children, our staff and your family. The health, safety and welfare of the children, our staff and your family is of paramount importance to us. In order to maintain a safe environment, we are instituting the following guidelines: Only essential staff wearing mask will be allowed to enter the facility until further notice. At this time, we will only allow parents into the building on a case by case basis should an extreme need exist. Should a parent experience an extreme need to enter the center, they should first call the office. New families may enroll (pending availability), however, they will not be able to tour the facility until the week of June 15th at the earliest. All new staff interviews will be conducted by phone. All children and staff will be scanned twice daily by infrared skin thermometers, at arrival before entering the building and at 2:00 p.m. All children and staff must wash their hands upon entering the building, before meals, after using the restroom, returning from the outside play areas and at dismissal. As part of our daily curriculum, we will continue to emphasize the importance of hand washing which is aligned with the CDC-recommended 20-second hand washing techniques. We are reinforcing this action with all children multiple times throughout the day. Our staff will continue to sanitize all entrance door knobs and interior items such as tables, faucets, sinks, keyboards, stair railings, toys, etc., several times per day emphasizing high traffic times. Remember, we are here for you and will do everything in our power to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the children, staff and your family. Further, we will do everything in our power to keep the facility open and continue to serve the needs of our parents. If we should be forced to close, that message would come from Governor Dewine or a State of Ohio Health Department official. We are asking for your assistance in helping to keep our community safe: If your child has a fever or trouble breathing, please keep your child home until symptom free and unmedicated for at least a 24 hour period.

If your child will not be attending school during this time, please remember to call the school's absent line at 513-891-7816 Remember this is a fluid situation. As we receive new information the above is subject to change. To stay up to date you should check our website, BlueAshChildCare.com. Updates will be posted on the website as soon as we have new information. Should you have any questions or comments please feel free to call the office at 513-891-1723.
