Please follow the arrows to loop around to the back parking lot. Once you reach the side door, a staff member will come to your car and assist you with getting your child.

To help keep the process moving smoothly, please have your child ready when it is your turn. Please wait until the car in front of you has driven away before moving. Do not drive around another vehicle.

We ask that you please remain at your car during pick up & drop off times. If you would like to walk your child to the door, please park in a designated parking spot.

We are doing our best to make pick up as timely and safe as possible. Your cooperation, patience, and adherence to the designated time slots for each program will help us keep the process running smoothly.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

If your child is enrolled in the childcare program you must sign them in at the door and walk them to the classroom, you cannot utilize the car line.

To help us make this event special for our students and families, we are asking for sign-ups for a trunk-or-treat! This was a hit with the kids last year. We also ask for candy donations to support the families hosting trunks. Please take a moment to sign up below if you are able to participate. Reach out with any questions.

Important: All students must be accompanied by an adult. Costumes welcome! Thank you so much for your time and participation — together, we’ll make this an evening to remember!

Parkview PTA is partnering with Mabel’s Labels, the durable, personalized labels that are perfect for water bottles, lunch boxes, backpacks, clothing, and everything else that seems to make its way to the lost and found.

If you're interested in buying labels visit campaigns.mabelslabels.com and search for Fairview Park Early Education Center PTA (OH) before placing your order.

These last for years, are dishwasher and washing machine safe, and are fun for all ages! Thanks for your support in helping us provide fun programs and opportunities for our students throughout the year!

Congratulations to Mandy Schwarz who was named the Staff Shining Star Award winner for the Parkview Early Education Center for the month of September.

This month the EEC would like to recognize Mandy Schwarz as the Staff Shining Star!

Mandy is the true definition of a shining star! She may have only been here for a year, but she has made a huge impact at the EEC! Her bright smile and outgoing personality, brings a welcoming and friendly light to our building, families and students in her classroom and anyone who walks through the EEC doors! She quietly notices others when needed and works to brighten their days by leaving them an encouraging note or a favorite treat as well as cheering alongside them when they accomplish goals.

This summer Mandy was asked to move up to a preschool room from her toddler classroom. She took the initiative to make the space her own and had to pivot quickly when a last minute room change occurred and did so gracefully and unphased. The unique opportunity this summer to move up with her toddlers to a preschool room allowed her to seamlessly transition her students' experiences and provide fun activities with learning built in, like making lemonade or planting seeds to see what happens.

Mandy is working toward her CDA, a professional accomplishment, by taking classes on her own time. She asks questions of her peers to grow her knowledge and expand her students' experiences in fun and engaging ways. She puts those answers to work regularly showing her peers that their experience and knowledge is valued.

This year she has stepped up to help co-chair the EEC social committee to plan fun events and activities to bring the staff together inside the building and out! Together with her co-chair they created a staff questionnaire, organized a staff night out and potlucks already this year, with more activities to come.

Our building is a better place with Mandy! Thank you for being a shining star at the EEC!

If you have younger children you hope will attend the EEC in the future, we strongly encourage you to join our waiting list now. Our program fills quickly, and the waitlist is often quite long. Each spring, we hear from families hoping to enroll a younger sibling, only to find that spaces are already full. To ensure your child has the best chance of securing a spot, we recommend adding them to the waiting list as early as possible.

To add a younger family member to the waiting list, please click here.
