 City
Kids Daycare Downtown is located at 274 Marconi
Boulevard in the Arena District near downtown
Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 1989, City Kids Downtown
is designed to meet the child care needs of busy
downtown professional parents who want to have
their children nearby in a safe, stimulating,
creative environment. This location is open from
6:30 am - 6:30 pm and offers 7,200 square feet
of educational and play space to accommodate up
to 90 children ages six weeks to six years.
At City Kids Daycare Downtown, we encourage parents
to drop in any time, take part in classroom activities,
and be involved in our program.
Our
beautiful sunlit atrium playground supplements
outdoor play, encouraging physical development
through bicycles, the play loft, climbing equipment,
the balance beam, balls, games, and water play
equipment.

| Our
infant program has fewer babies assigned to individual
caregivers than required by state law. There is
a daily schedule for older and more mature babies,
while younger infants are on a “demand”
schedule. Schedules are developed for each baby
through input from parents and caregivers. The play
and sleep areas are separated so that our babies
can sleep in their own assigned cribs. Parents are
welcomed and encouraged to visit, feed, and play
with their babies during the working day.

 |
| Children
18 months through 5 years old are divided into classrooms
by age and developmental levels. Our educational
programs are designed to encourage development of
social interaction, physical skills, reading readiness,
science awareness, beginning math, manners and hygiene
training. Music, Art and Drama are part of our daily
curriculum. |

We
have reviewed and expanded on the curricula of
the public schools in the Columbus area and have
incorporated the best from each for our program.
We offer a variety of experiences from large groups
to individual, one on one activities for each
student. Hands on, authentic activities are the
core of the program.
Because
of our location, City Kids Daycare provides the
opportunity for many field trips to cultural,
educational, and fun locations in the downtown
Columbus area. We also encourage parent participation
in the classroom and have an active parent group.
We
hope that you can take the time to visit and evaluate
our quality pre-kindergarten program. Feel free
to give us a call or e-mail to arrange a visit.
Below
you will find images of our children engaging
in the following activities: playing a memory
game, completing a dot-to-dot worksheet, working
in the science center, reading books in the reading
center, and working in the writing center.

| We
offer a full summer program specially designed for
children ages 4through 8 years old. The children
are encouraged to participate in many organized
activities including reading, games, computer skill
development, outdoor play and field trips. The field
trips include COSI, the Columbus Zoo, Metro Parks,
the YMCA for swimming lessons, the Ice House for
ice skating, the Arena Grand for movies, and many
more. We work to provide a summer full of fun, intellectual
challenge, physical activity, and friendship in
the midst of the rich environment of downtown Columbus. |
