Child Care, Preschool, and Adult Day Care

An excellent program for before and after-school child care is offered for elementary students, grades kindergarten through 6th, in their own school. Students are cared for in the gymnasium from 6:30 A.M. to 9:00 A.M., and 3:30 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. There are scheduled activities and quiet times, and an afternoon snack. Children may attend mornings only, after school only, or both. There is a nominal registration fee plus weekly tuition. Many satisfactory child care facilities in Reynoldsburg are listed in the Yellow Pages under Child Care. Some area churches offer preschool for children ages 3 to 5. In general the preschools serve children ages 3 through 5 in two or three half-day classes weekly, September through early June. Most have outdoor playgrounds. Some offer all-day programs, day care or latchkey care, and special summer activities.
