Preschool & Pre-K in Northeast Ohio

At ChildScape Learn & Grow, our Preschool and Pre-K programs are thoughtfully designed to prepare children for kindergarten—and life. In our North Canton and Tallmadge centers, we offer a joyful, play-based learning environment where children explore new ideas, express themselves, and build skills for academic and social success.

At ChildScape, we understand that the preschool years are among the most important stages of early development. These years lay the foundation for a child’s academic, emotional, and social success—and we are committed to providing an environment where that foundation is built with care, intention, and joy.

Our qualified teachers thoughtfully plan and prepare learning environments that support each child’s active exploration of materials and the world around them. Through hands-on learning and purposeful play, we foster the development of essential skills in a setting that promotes independence, creativity, and confidence.

At ChildScape, we believe that learning is a highly active and interactive process. Children are encouraged to take initiative, respond to challenges, and express themselves as they develop important concepts and competencies through meaningful engagement with their peers, teachers, and surroundings.

The integration of our entire preschool program lays the foundation for academic success.

Kindergarten Readiness

We take great care in preparing our children for the next step in their educational journey. Our Kindergarten Readiness program is implemented in partnership with local public schools, helping ensure that children transition smoothly and confidently from preschool to kindergarten.

Learning Beyond the Classroom​

Outdoor play is provided daily as a vital part of our whole-child approach. At ChildScape Learn & Grow, we see the outdoors as more than just recess—it’s a dynamic learning environment where children can move their bodies, spark their imaginations, and discover the natural world. Whether it’s navigating a tricycle path, digging in the sensory garden, or playing group games with friends, outdoor time helps toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children build physical strength, coordination, and social-emotional skills. Our playgrounds and nature zones are designed for exploration, creativity, and safe, supervised fun—rain or shine.

Family Partnership

At ChildScape Learn & Grow, we believe that strong family partnerships are essential to a child’s success. From the moment your child joins our program, we work hand-in-hand with you to ensure consistency, trust, and open communication. Parents receive real-time updates through the Tadpole App, including daily reports, photos, and messages from teachers. We also provide regular developmental assessments and host family conferences to celebrate milestones and discuss next steps. Whether it’s answering your questions, supporting your goals, or simply sharing a sweet moment from your child’s day, our team is here for you—every step of the way.

Nutrition for Preschoolers

We take great pride in nourishing your child’s body as well as their mind. At ChildScape, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children enjoy a daily breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack that are both nutritious and child-friendly. Meals are served family-style, encouraging social interaction, independence, and healthy eating habits. All food is planned to meet state nutrition guidelines and includes options from each of the major food groups. For children with allergies, dietary restrictions, or specific family preferences, we offer thoughtful accommodations to ensure every child is included and supported at mealtime.
