Maple Heights is the first city in Ohio to boast an early learning center inside its branch of the Cuyahoga County Library. The center will offer pre-kindergarten age students educational opportunities to help them grow and thrive. Research has shown that the first 2000 days of a child's life are the most critical for development. The push for quality pre-K is a nationwide effort.
