William L. Mallory Early Learning Center

The William L. Mallory Center recognizes a principle of great important to former Ohio State Senator William L. Mallory: to ensure success for college students who are also parents, these students need assurance of quality care for their children while they pursue their educational goals.

In partnership with Learning Grove, the Mallory Center supports ages infant (6 weeks old) through preschool (5 years old). Priority is given to students and staff of the College, though community members are welcome to apply.

Learning Grove develops and supports innovative quality learning experiences that empower children, youth, and families across diverse communities. Our philosophy and curriculum center on the developmental constructivist theory: children learn through play and make sense of the world through being actively engaged in the learning process. The constructivist framework helps children acquire age-appropriate concepts and critical thinking skills, equipping them for lifelong success.
