We were so excited to celebrate the launch of our second nature-based PlayScape playground at Wade Early Learning Center, a lively and welcoming space that brings play and learning together.

Made possible through a PNC Grow Up Great® grant and brought to life with the incredible design leadership of LAND studio (murals by Irina Wong), this PlayScape is more than a playground. It’s a space for sensory exploration, age-appropriate adventure, artistic expression, and community connection.

Every feature, from playful details and bright murals to shady spots for gathering, celebrates the heart and energy of our neighborhood. Our outdoor spaces aren’t just for fun; they’re places where imagination and learning come alive.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this transformation possible. Visit thecentersohio.org/early-learning to enroll your child at The Centers or visit our first Playscape playground at Clifton Early Learning Center (13889 Clifton Blvd. in Lakewood)!
