The Youthland Academy Difference
For over 40 years, Youthland Academy has been the childcare partner that working families across Dayton, Cincinnati, and Northern Kentucky rely on. We go beyond basic daycare — our centers use Creative Curriculum, a nationally recognized earlylearning framework that gives children the structured, age-appropriate education they need to arrive at kindergarten truly ready to learn. Our 5-star accredited centers serve children from 6 weeks through 12 years old. We accept Ohio Title 20, Child Care Choice, and ECE assistance programs because we believe financial circumstances should never determine a child’s access to quality care. With 18 locations across the region, there’s a Youthland Academy close to where you live or work.
Affordable Childcare for Every Family
At Youthland Academy, we believe every child deserves access to quality early education — regardless of their family’s financial situation. That’s why we proudly accept Ohio Title 20, Child Care Choice, and ECE (Early Childhood Education) assistance programs at our locations across Dayton, Cincinnati, and Northern Kentucky. These state-funded programs can significantly reduce or eliminate your out-of-pocket childcare costs for qualifying families. If you’re not sure whether you qualify, contact the learning center nearest you — our staff is happy to help you understand your options and walk you through the application process. Don’t let cost be the reason your child misses out.
Our Programs
Even from infancy, your child is already learning. At Youthland Academy, our curricula and programs are specifically tailored to the learning needs of different age groups, including infants, preschoolers, toddlers, and school-age children.
A Nurturing Approach
We encourage children to have fun as they learn and make discoveries on their own. For school-age children, we offer homework help and more. Our highly trained and carefully selected staff members provide a low student-to-teacher ratio so each child gets the attention they need and deserve.
Fitness and Nutrition
Along with our learning programs, we also have a nutrition and fitness program called LiveWell™ that helps your child develop healthy habits early on in life. This program includes physical activity and healthy eating, as well as reduced time with electronic devices and the opportunity for you to breastfeed your infant if you desire.
Youthland Academy Love from Our Families
I absolutely love Youthland Academy! The staff is super friendly and loving to the kiddos. My darling girl started the learning center while going through “stranger danger” They 100% helped her transition from being home with mom for the first year of life to being comfortable around others and being in someone else’s care. They offer love and support when I can’t be there. They keep a routine, offer outside activities, indoor art, sensory development projects, summer water play and I can’t wait to see what comes this winter! The biggest reason I chose this facility is because of the indoor padded playroom they have. My babe has a lot of energy and I wanted her to get her wiggles out even when the weather is cold or rainy…I love LOVE the indoor playground!!!

As a single father of four kids I must say the lady’s and the manager of this daycare are absolutely the best. My kids are my life and for over a year now they have accommodated all of my concerns and any issue I’ve had. They are absolutely wonderful and I can’t praise Youthland Academy enough. This daycare is definitely a place where my kids will remain until they transition into regular schooling. Thanks youthland academy and to Ms Amanda who has made my experience with this daycare 100% Satisfactory.

If you’re looking for a place that treats your child like their own, this is it. I never worried about my child’s safety. The owner and employees are really good, quality people. My son learned so much and definitely went to kindergarten more than prepared. We loved all of the field trips, center activities and crafts. Very clean, high quality childcare.
Karen Smith
I’m so very thankful we found YouthLand Academy for our daughter! The staff and teachers are super nice, friendly, and professional. They really do care about their kids and want the best for them. They will give you updates on your child milestones achievements and give advice/suggestions on how to help to meet those milestones if needed. The teachers are amazing and take the time to get to know all the kids. They make you feel like family. They are very knowledgeable and willing to help educate the parents when needed. My daughter enjoys YLA and loves all of her teachers.

The absolute best daycare !!! My daughter went here from toddler ages until she aged out ! I never had any issues , staff ALWAYS have been super nice & consistent ! Now 9 years later I’ve just had a baby boy and he is attending! Dropping him off on the first day was easy for me because I trust the staff ! It’s always clean too.
Jacole Matheis
The care that my infant receives at this center is phenomenal. My infant is well cared for and is always happy when I come to pick her up. The staff members are all experienced and are genuinely caring and kind. I come to pick her up at different times of the day and the staff members are always hands-on with the kids. I feel so comfortable and safe leaving my daughter at this center when I am at work.
Emily Feldman
We chose this Youthland because it was so close, we stayed with them even after we moved 20+ minutes away because we trust them completely. The staff has shown our son so much love that he waddles around with a confidence that can only come from feeling supported wherever he goes. .They do everything by the book, including diligent cleaning and incident reports. I’ve even had my brother enroll his 9 month old, and the staff make sure they get “brother cousin” time every day.
Caroline Fremont
My kids have gone to this daycare for 2 years now and absolutely love it!! My youngest is 2 and he reminds me every morning that it’s time for daycare! (Even Saturdays)The staff is awesome and are so helpful! They assisted in potty training for both my kids and are so sincere in all they do! I’m truly grateful my family has been apart of Youthland and recommend this daycare to anyone!

My son has went here for 15 months. I absolutely love this daycare and I highly recommend them. They are so great with all ages. Morning or night I walk in and immediately feel welcomed.They have a great team of consistent teachers who make me feel so at ease with every single drop off and pick up. I know my child is loved, nurtured, cared for,and most especially safe and wanted. I wish I could give them 100 stars!!
