School Notes
- Welcome to KinderCare on Cleveland Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. We are located at 5351 Cleveland Avenue in between Morse Road and 161. In order to get into our parking lot you will need to turn on to Teakwood Drive. Walking into our building you will notice a large welcoming lobby area and our friendly staff will welcome you into our learning environment. From our infant to school age classrooms, our curriculum encourages and fosters you child’s development.
- As your Health and Safety Coordinator, I take great pride in making sure that our center provides a clean and safe environment for you and your child. Each teacher in our building follows a daily cleaning checklist to ensure all aspects of each classroom are clean. This helps reduce germs and the spread of infections. We practice monthly fire and disaster drill so that in the event of an emergency we will be prepared. In addition, each staff member is required to become certified in CPR, First Aid, and Communicable Disease within the first year of hire. Our building is secured at all times by a locked door with a PIN and guests must ring a doorbell to be buzzed into the center. All visitors are greeted by the office upon arrival. Your ease of mind in knowing that your child is cared for in a clean and safe environment is our first priority! We hope that you feel at home in our center. - Avery LuBell, Health and Safety Coordinator
