In a central Ohio region with several outstanding school districts, Dublin City Schools regularly ranks among the best. In fact, the local district can usually be found at the top of the list of high achieving districts across the state.

That’s not just a happy accident. Most students start their education journey long before they set foot in a public kindergarten or first grade classroom. Reams of evidence clearly show that preschool attendance is linked to better short- and long-term educational outcomes for students. Parents see economic benefits as well.

For parents with young children, picking the right preschool can feel like an overwhelming decision. At one time, Cathy Holbert was one of those parents. And she could not find a school that she felt was the right fit.

Cathy had a background in child psychology and knew the importance of starting children off on the right educational path. Finding herself without a suitable option, Cathy opened the Dublin Learning Academy in 1998 and has owned and operated it ever since. She has always been a proud Dublin business owner. Dublin Learning Academy started out off Coffman Road next to Coffman High School. Now the preschool calls Muirfield home.

Fast forward to now, and Dublin Learning Academy has been a top destination for parents of preschoolers for over a quarter century. “What sets Dublin Learning Academy apart is our love for early childhood education,” says Cathy. The school strives to set students up for academic success along with social and emotional growth and development.

In addition to preschool and kindergarten curriculum, Dublin Learning Academy offers childcare for infants and toddlers. Summer camp and other enrichment programming is available for children up to 12 years old. Smaller class sizes, teachers with bachelor’s and master’s degrees and curriculum-based instruction help every child reach their academic and developmental milestones.

“At Dublin Learning Academy, we help students Discover, Learn and Achieve,” says Cathy. “We are proud to be part of this community and will continue to provide the best early childhood education.” If you are stressed out about preschool childcare choices, Dublin Learning Academy has a long history of sending classroom-ready kids to those stellar Dublin City Schools.
