Welcome to Childcare Network in Columbus, where we pride ourselves on being a high-quality early learning center. My name is Anita Hughes, and I am the school Director. At our school, we strive to ensure that parents feel safe and secure leaving their children with us and that those children leave every day smiling. We know that early education is integral in establishing a solid foundation for their child's educational journey.
Our goal for students is to foster an environment where each child can challenge themselves and achieve success. As many of our staff are parents themselves, we understand how rewarding and demanding a parent's role can sometimes be, especially as a working parent. We are committed to providing a supportive community for the families we serve. We all want our students to be happy, nurtured, and provided with the best learning opportunities. Our staff members provide a safe environment and nurture your child on their learning journey while giving them the freedom to explore and develop in a warm and caring environment.
Feel free to stop in for a tour or call to speak with a team member. We look forward to the opportunity to build a long-lasting relationship with your family!

9/19/2024My daughter has been going here since March 2024. We had a tour with the directors. I instantly wanted her to start that day. I love how warm and comfortable everyone is with one another. The facility is always clean. Each classroom has their own unique vibe. What really sold me, were the smiles on everyone faces.

8/17/2022Both of my kids went here for childcare for nearly a year. Each of my kids graduated from the class that they started in and moved up. Every single one of the teachers they had were absolutely amazing and so personable with the kids, and showed so much care and compassion. I highly recommend this location to anyone that I can! Thank you for all you did and for loving my little monsters!!

3/6/2020I really love Ms. Ashley and Ms. Jasmin. My sweet baby has never attended daycare prior to coming here and she just seems to have adjusted well. She loves on the people there and just seems so happy and is eager to go inside every morning. I am so happy and will continue to keep her here until she's old enough for school.

Renee Solomon
11/1/2018I was in search of a childcare provider where I didn’t have to worry about the safety, well being, and treatment from the staff for my child. There was no availability on post so I had no other choice than to look off post. From the day of my orientation to the present day, Mrs. Ashley and her staff have been amazingly welcoming to my infant, my husband and I, and my older children. If you’re looking for staff who will treat your children like their very own, a clean facility, and just an all around safe haven for your child to attend while you’re at work, this is the best place to enroll your child! The pricing is great, better than on post and they’re very understanding to any situation and will assist you to the best of their ability! My baby loves this place, always happy from drop off to pick up! Check them out!

10/17/2018We have attended this daycare for nearly a year now. The new director Ashley is amazing. I honestly think this is the best child care network in our area. It is on my highly recommended list. I am joyed to say that I have watched this facility change in the greatest direction possible with the help of Miss Ashley and several other teachers. The connection between the teachers and children are amazing. They are a cap accepted daycare, which can sometimes be hard to find. They supply breakfast, lunch, and snacks after nap time. During the summer they have ice cream days and plenty of water filled fun (no swimming). Back to school season: they have offered picture day(s) for all age classes not just the pre K class.

10/12/2018My daughter and son have both been going here for 3 months now and I'm so happy I found this location. Ms. Ashley is always so helpful and takes her time answering my questions. The teachers in the infant room Mrs. Melissa and Mrs. Maria and Ms. Kebe are wonderful and caring. Miss Deja and Miss Tanisha and Miss Tina in the year 3 and year 2 classrooms are also amazing and have been very accommodating to my 2 year old daughter and she absolutely loved Ms. Deja, won't stay in class if she's not there lol.

8/17/2016My 3 year old and 1 year old attend this location. Mrs. Lisa and Mrs. Patsy are the most amazing management team! They set a great example for their employees to follow. I see nothing but happy employees and kids when I drop off and pick up my kids each and every day. Every employee plays a huge part in my childrens lives. Each night my 3 year old tells me how me loves the teachers and management by naming each of them individually. Instead of saying Mrs. with their names, he says My as if they belong just to him. These employees are amazing, caring, involved, loving, and patient with all the children. I absolutely adore them and I am overly thankful to have them in my childrens lives. Thank you!

3/16/2016I went with Childcare Network for my two year old based off a glowing recommendation from my sister, and everything she said was spot on! My daughter absolutely loves her classroom and teachers, which made me as a parent, also love the facility. It puts your mind at ease when you know your child is pleased and enjoys going to her learning environment. I also wanted my daughter to be actively engaged, and I have seen this first hand picking her up and dropping her off. She comes home daily excitedly telling me about what she had done, and all about her day. I am happy that she is now somewhere where she is learning from a set curriculum, and enjoying herself at the same time.

10/17/2015My husband and I have two children. When my son was born we placed both of our babies in the care of this facility. We have always been impressed and pleased with the care that they have received throughout their stay. This past summer (my husband is a teacher) we took our children out of daycare to be home until my daughter started kindergarten and my son went to a new daycare down the road from her school. My son does not adjust well to change and did not do well at the other school. Although they said they would work with us through this change he made it day 3 and was not allowed to come back. I called Ms. Leslie at Childcare Network and she told he was welcome back ANYTIME; so I took him that day. Unfortunately his previous teacher that he adored had moved on to a elementary position, so we had difficulties there when we first went back. This experience differed so much compared to the other facility. They worked with him individually and tried for weeks to help him adapt. They knew my son was a good child, but that he does not do well with change. I never felt like they judged me or my child and they understood he missed his sister and previous teachers (Ms. Tonya and Ms. Tori). Over time he FINALLY adjusted and settled in with his new teacher Ms. Shamira. My husband and I both feel that she was an answer to our many prayers!!!!! My son is now a very well adjusted, happy little boy who loves his school!! I am so grateful for all the kindness we have received here at this daycare. It also gives me such a peace of mind to know that I have entrusted my children here for over 4 years and that this facility does care for them genuinely. I don't think that I can say enough about how well they have treated my family. I could go on and on about them!!!! I pray that they realize what a difference they have made with my children and my entire family! My Elijah is a different child now. He has come into his own and has changed not only at school but at home as well!!!!! May God bless you all as much as you have blessed us! Thank you from the bottom of hearts for caring about my children; it has NEVER gone unnoticed and is VERY much appreciated!!!!!!!!
