Why families choose Stages
Care that goes beyond traditional day care
The original site described Stages as more than a babysitting service. The rebuilt site keeps that promise visible and easy to scan.
Learning through play
Children are born ready to learn. Stages emphasizes play, respect, and love as the base for art, music, science, reading, movement, and social development.
Age-specific curriculum
Teaching teams build classroom plans for each stage, including infants, because children do not all learn in the same way or at the same pace.
Daily communication
Staff stay connected with families through ongoing updates, newsletters, and twice-yearly evaluations.
Designed for children
Classrooms include child-sized toilets and vanities, strategic changing areas, indoor movement space, and easy teacher monitoring.
Active inside and outside
Children have access to a large outdoor play area and indoor motor skills room, so active play remains part of the day.
Locally owned
Stages is independent, so programs and pricing can be shaped around the needs of Strongsville, Brunswick, and nearby families.
Programs
Rooms and routines for each age
Stages accepts children from 6 weeks through 12 years, with classroom structure that changes as children grow.

Summer Camp
Summer camp serves children who have graduated Kindergarten through age 12 with field trips, projects, and learning activities.
The Stages approach
The only thing a child should worry about is having fun
Stages was created by local parents who wanted a center that combined the love a child needs with the love of learning they wanted their own children to develop.
That philosophy still guides the centers: a safe, nurturing setting where children feel comfortable, respected, active, and ready to explore.
