About Us
Our Mission
The mission of Origins School of Learning is to provide a high quality preschool program that is affordable and flexible to meet the needs of children, families in the community. We strive to ensure that the children in our community have a safe and educational environment, which provides developmentally appropriate activities in which they can learn and grow.
HighScope Curriculum
In a HighScope preschool program, teachers ignite children’s interest in learning by creating an environment that encourages them to explore learning materials and interact with adults and peers. We focus on supporting early learners as they make decisions, build academic skills, develop socially and emotionally, and become part of a classroom community.

Philosophy
At Origins School of Learning, we believe early childhood education and experience should focus on the development of the whole child, touching on the 5 Domains of Early Childhood Development including Social, Emotional, Cognitive, Physical, and Language, along with life skills and self-esteem. We foster these through HighscopeCurriculum and Ohio Early Learning Standards. We strive to provide a high quality learning program that is affordable and flexible for our families.
