Our Summer Enrichment Camp program is quality-rated through the state of Ohio’s Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) programming system, which means we exceed basic licensing standards, signifying a higher level of quality care for children by meeting specific criteria for learning environments, staff training and curriculum development.
