About
At the CFEC, we believe that surrounding yourself in a strong and supportive community with like-minded parents helps enrich your life and your family. That's why we've created an environment that allows you to socialize along with learning and growth. Come visit our Sunroom, Cozy Porch, and Playroom to get the full experience.
The Story behind CFEC
There’s something to the saying “it takes a village to raise a child”. Community plays an important role – and surrounding yourself with other parents that believe in this can sometimes be quite a challenge. As founders of the CFEC, we strive to create a center that fosters this very thing. It’s our goal to develop a center that’s dedicated to supporting and celebrating parenthood through smart classes, cutting-edge parenting techniques, quality products and recommendations, and a supportive social environment that’s tailored to both parents and children.
It is with great excitement and with much pleasure that we bring our vision to life in Cincinnati.
We can’t wait to meet you!

Parent Testimonials
Thank you for making me feel so welcome during our first visit last Thursday! It was great to be able to spend time focused on Ivy while Emory played happily in a new place. Your center is so bright and beautiful and we really enjoyed storytime and then some time in the sunny weather out on the deck.

My four month old never napped during the day. After learning how to massage her legs in Tummy Time, she slept for two hours, ate and slept another hour. What a relief!

I LOVE the CFEC! Saturday mornings are such a treat for me and Piper! You should be so so so proud of the Center and the people who work there. They are all so nice and I truly feel like I’m visiting my friend’s house every time I go. It’s so cozy and inviting!

I absolutely love the center! It is such a great gift and much needed in this area. With the economic environment, it is such a gem! We especially love the signing class; it's unbelievable that Melody can hold our 6 month old's attention the whole class!

If only every child could be as fortunate-to have such happy early experiences with music as my granddaughter did with Liz Archer. The classes were memorable and magical times for every child and adult there!
