About For Kids' Sake
Nurturing every child's unique potential
We're committed to a child care program that supports each child's emotional, social, cognitive, and physical growth. Licensed in Boardman since 2002, For Kids' Sake has grown into a trusted home-away-from-home for families across the Mahoning Valley, with room for up to 149 children in rooms for every age, from infants through school age.
In partnership with AHAVA Childcare, we pair big-hearted, individualized care with the structure and standards that give families peace of mind.

The Ahava difference
Big-hearted care
AHAVA means "love." Every child is known, valued, and nurtured with the warm, individualized attention they deserve.
