At Columbus Early Learning Centers (CELC), we offer quality, affordable early learning for children ages 6 weeks-5 years old to help chart the course for a lifetime of success.

For over 138 years, CELC has provided high-quality early childhood education to Columbus families, especially those in under-resourced neighborhoods. We operate 6 centers across the city as well as our implementation of the nationally-renowned ParentChild+ program. We serve approximately 500 children annually.

CELC prepares our learners for school and life with a focus on equity and holistic wellbeing through early learning. We offer developmental screenings, nutrition assistance and education, mental health support, motor skill development, opportunities for physical activity, and so much more within the context of early learning.

Why vote for the A-B-Seas? (ABCs- get it?!?) Because every child deserves a strong start, and our boat is charting a course for brighter future for families in Columbus!
