Columbus Early Learning Centers (CELC), one of the oldest nonprofit organizations in the state, has been serving families since 1887. It provides subsidized and affordable childcare, helping young children develop and learn so they can be ready for success in school and in life.

Daily play and physical activity are vital for a child’s healthy development. Support for this Better Together project ensured that KABOOM! provided—at no cost—all equipment, tools, and mulch, and organized volunteers for the playground. Thank you for helping CELC make kids’ playground dreams come true.

We are Better Together!

“Our work ensures that the Zip Code a child is born into isn’t the blueprint for their life. We’re providing children with the opportunities to achieve their hopes and dreams.”

—​John Auletto, CELC Board of Directors, Hexion Executive Vice President, Human Resources

“Their teachers are loving and compassionate, and the staff is overall wonderful. We are proud to be a part of the CELC family!”

—Josie, CELC Parent
