With insight towards the future, Euclid City Schools fulfilled a very important need of the community by establishing its Child Development Center in 1978. The center offers a full and part time preschool program for children ages 2 and a half to 5, and a before and after school program for children ages 5-12. There is a Euclid residency requirement for the school age program.

The center is located in the former Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, located at 21331 Wilmore Avenue. The center is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Child Development Center provides an excellent program for young children. The center fosters a learning environment where students have an opportunity to acquire new learning skills within a creative setting. The certified preschool staff will enhance your child’s day by providing age appropriate activities with age appropriate materials. The center also offers field trips throughout the school year.

The curriculum is based on the Ohio Department of Education Early Learning Content Standards. These standards include: language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. The center also offers daily specials that enrich our curriculum, such as physical education, music and movement, computer science and literacy.

Each day the children enjoy both quiet and active play suitable to their age levels and abilities. The physical environment has an indoor playroom, gymnasium and outdoor playground. These activities promote physical coordination and cognitive development.

The center will host an open house Oct. 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. Those interested may also call (216) 797-4360 to schedule a tour. Parents may also visit the center’s web site at www. euclidschools.org for further information.

The center is accepting registrations for the 2010-2011 school year! The Child Development Center is another quality program of the Euclid City School district.
