About Us
Ways to Help
We often hear parents say, “I never thought my child could _______” and then they do. At The Childhood League Center, we provide caring and effective programs, in classrooms and at home, for infants through age 6 with special needs. 65% of Center children enter kindergarten no longer needing specialized services. Lives change.
The need for our services is far greater than the 450 children we currently serve. To continue our current programs and expand to help others, we deeply appreciate our supporters – individual and corporate.
Consider
Each week, 50 to 70 children in Franklin County
under the age of 3
are referred for testing for suspected developmental delays. As more children need services, current resources must also expand.
Almost 5,000 children
in the Columbus City school district do not have access to pre-kindergarten programs

will save a community from $7 to $17 in future spending."
