The Salvation Army Learning Center at the Westside Corps

The Salvation Army Learning Center (5-Star rating by Ohio’s Step Up to Quality assurance program) offers safe, nurturing care and unique educational opportunities to children of families in the Price Hill area. The Learning Center offers infant, toddler and pre-school programs focusing on quality care and significant early-learning experiences that help children meet developmental milestones and prepare for success in school. Before- and after-school care and summer programs serve children K-12, and provide educational enrichment, emotional support, physical activity and character-building opportunities.

Because of the Dater Foundation grant, The Learning Center has remained present for Greater Cincinnati families during the pandemic, meeting the needs of 298 children while nimbly navigating the unique challenges of service delivery in 2020. In addition to safely adapting our infant, toddler and pre-school program operations to rapidly changing health guidelines and social restrictions, the Center expanded school-age program to full-day operations to help families overcome barriers the pandemic created for providing children safe and supervised education during remote learning. The expanded-hours coverage also helped parents and guardians maintain or seek re-employment.
