About Us

Since 1982, Children’s Discovery Center has been a trusted provider of early childhood education in the greater Toledo area. Founded by Lois Mitten Rosenberry, whose deep love for children inspired a lifelong commitment to education, CDC began with one location in Maumee, Ohio and has grown into a leading network of faith-based early learning centers.

Motivated by her passion and guided by her belief in the potential of every child, Mrs. Rosenberry studied the Reggio Emilia approach in Italy and brought its core principles to our classrooms. Recognized by Newsweek as one of the world’s top educational philosophies, this child-led model encourages creativity, exploration, and hands-on learning, all in a nurturing and respectful environment.

Today, CDC proudly serves families across Toledo, Holland, Perrysburg, Waterville and greater Toledo with five child care and preschool locations near you. We offer Reggio-inspired learning, and a strong Christian foundation designed to support the whole child, spiritually, emotionally, and academically.

For over 35 years, Children’s Discovery Center has remained rooted in a mission to love, nurture, and guide young minds, empowering each child to flourish in a joyful, faith-filled environment.
