KIDS on the MOVE!
Our Early Child Enrichment Center Has a
New Location!
Last week, our child care center moved to a new location
at 8601 Sauer Avenue. Boxes of toys, blankets,
books, puzzles, craft supplies and the many items
needed to provide a stimulating and enriching child care
center were moved and unpacked by generous
volunteers. Now the new center is ready for children to
explore as their new school home.
The Spanish American Committee Early Childhood
Center has been in existence for over thirty years and
was the first bilingual daycare in the State of Ohio.
