About Us
Maria Early Learning Center is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of Notre Dame. For almost twenty years the Sisters and their collaborators have been providing quality child care and learning experiences for infants through preschool children. The program is licensed by the state of Ohio and recognized as a Step Up to Quality Two Star Center.
Our programs are play-based because we believe children learn by doing. Our curriculum is carefully designed to provide engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that encourage children to be confident, competent learners.
