It's our commitment to provide a high-quality child care program that supports each child's emotional, social, cognitive, and physical growth.
Licensed in Boardman since 2002, For Kids' Sake has grown into a trusted home-away-from-home for the families of the Mahoning Valley — with room for up to 149 children across infant, toddler, preschool, and school-age classrooms.
As part of the AHAVA family of schools, we pair big-hearted, individualized care with the structure, safety, and standards that give families peace of mind.
