Columbus Early Learning Centers at Broad Street Infant and Toddler Center Wins State Award for Excellence in Early Care and Education
From our Parents
Tasha Booker likes the intimacy and the small group size at BIT-C. She thinks that her son Logan’s development is right where it should be, if not advanced:
"Every day Logan comes home and shares something he learned. This is a really, really good center. The small class size lets teachers get to know kids. Logan loves his teachers, especially Chris."
