The teachers and staff at Ridge Mill KinderCare are an amazing group of professionals who are passionate about educating and nurturing children.
The majority of our staff has been here for over five years and have their CDA's.
Our team strives for excellence through continuing education from biannual company professional development day long trainings to seeking additional college courses, seminars, and trainings from Action for Children.
At the end of the day, the true key to our teachers' success is their passion for teaching and their love of learning.
Welcome to the Ridge Mill KinderCare in Hilliard, Ohio. We
are very excited to meet with you and your family. We believe
in developing the whole child with an emphasis on assisting your
child's growth with their social, emotional, cognitive, and
physical development.
Here at our center, we believe it takes a village to raise a child,
and our parent's consider us to be an extension of their families
(their village). Your child will not only have a safe,
secure, and stimulating environment to learn in, but will have
support from a team of child development experts who have a true
passion for educating and nurturing children.
-Melissa Gordon, Center Director
At KinderCare Learning Centers, your child's safety is one of our
top priorities. Not only are all of our outside perimeter doors
locked to ensure security, but all of our playgrounds are fenced
with locked gates as well. In addition the front door of the
building has a coded entry where only authorized family members
will have a code to enter. Otherwise a doorbell is available
to visitors who will be greeted by a staff member. At Ridge
Mill KinderCare we have a Health and Safety Coordinator on site as
well. Her role includes conducting monthly tornado and fire
drills, ensuring that all staff's first aid and CPR certificates
are up to date, and maintaining high cleanliness standards.
