Loving Care, Rooted in Boardman
For more than two decades, families across the Mahoning Valley have trusted us with their most precious people. Here's who we are and what we believe.
Our Story
For Kids' Sake has been a licensed Boardman child care home since 2002 — two decades of welcoming infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age kids through our doors at 1245 Boardman-Canfield Rd.
Today we have room for up to 149 children across age-appropriate rooms — from infants through school age — with care that runs Mon–Fri 6:30 AM – 6:00 PM to fit real working-family schedules. For school-age children we offer after-school care, including pick-up from nearby schools, plus a safe place to land on weekdays when school is out.
In partnership with AHAVA Childcare, For Kids' Sake brings big-hearted local care together with shared standards, training, and resources.
To provide child care that meets the needs of every child in a safe, stimulating, caring, and educational environment — for kids' sake, and for the families who love them.
