Water Lily Learning Center – Over-the-Rhine (OTR)
Play. Purpose. Progress.
Our OTR center reflects the heart of downtown Cincinnati—vibrant, creative, and full of life. Located just steps from the bustle of Vine Street, this location offers families a modern early-learning experience with the warmth of a neighborhood community. It's a place where children are encouraged to be bold thinkers and joyful explorers.
Our Environment
The OTR classrooms feature an open layout filled with light, music, and movement. With the garage door open on sunny days, children play and learn with the fresh air drifting in—bringing nature right into the classroom. Every detail is designed to make children feel safe, inspired, and ready to learn.
Our Curriculum
We follow the same trusted play-based Water Lily curriculum, emphasizing hands-on discovery, communication, and problem-solving. Teachers encourage exploration, guide gentle routines, and celebrate milestones big and small. Here, learning feels like play—and every day is a new adventure.
Family Partnership
OTR families appreciate our convenient downtown location and the close connection between teachers and parents. We partner with working professionals, city residents, and nearby businesses to support Cincinnati families with reliable, high-quality care that fits their lifestyle.
