Programs.
Arches currently offers the following programs: Preschool, Before & After School, Kindergarten & Preschool Enrichment, and Summer Camp. We are a licensed child care center with the state of Ohio and meet all requirements for professional and safe child care. Arches sits on five acres of land where children can engage in games, sports, playground play, and outdoor exploration each and every day!
We are determined to create an environment for our students to be confident and beyond ready to start kindergarten. Arches Preschool embraces the excitement of learning and uses research-based principles as the key to teaching. It is important to focus on all appropriate development concepts to build a comprehensive experience. Your child will participate in a fun daily routine that develops social skills and interactions that build a solid foundation for meeting future academic challenges. We recognize that children are our future - they will learn from our dedicated and qualified teachers in a safe and secure environment while also learning valued Christian principles that are age appropriate for our little learners.
We offer a before school program starting at 6:30 am and an after school program ending at 6:00 pm. We provide a nutritious breakfast each morning and healthy snack options each afternoon. During our after school program, we provide a designated time for homework each day - our teachers work with a team of students to assist with homework. We are located right next to Dulles Elementary so we are able to walk children to/from Dulles. We also offer transportation to and from Springmyer and Oakdale. Children enrolled in half-day kindergarten or preschool can enroll in our enrichment program. We have developed a curriculum that aligns with the Ohio Learning Standards where children can learn through play and hands-on activities. They will develop life skills, learn independence, and key preschool and kindergarten concepts will be reinforced.
Summer Camp.
Children enrolled in summer camp will have a blast all summer long! We have developed a curriculum full of weekly themes, science experiments, water play, art projects, games, sports, and much more. Children will go on two field trips each week to different destinations around Cincinnati, such as, the Cincinnati Zoo, Children's Museum, the Aquarium, and more!
