Description

Columbus Early Learning Centers (CELC) has been providing high-quality early learning and affordable care to our city's children since 1887. CELC’s services make it possible for parents to work or attend school, while children are cared for in education-focused classrooms staffed by highly qualified early childhood teachers. CELC impacts the lives of approximately 300 children annually who are either enrolled in one of six centers or benefit from home visiting. Typically 95% of students receive public subsidies or tuition assistance and over 75% live in households earning less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
