Building Connections
Sharing Experiences
Enhancing Well Being
JRC has earned a Step Up To Quality Gold rating for both preschools, meaning the children are enrolled in a top-tier program that exceeds Ohio’s childcare standards.
JRC was founded in 1974 as an outreach ministry of St. Paul's Catholic Church in Canton, Ohio. Father John Robert Coleman brought services to the people of the northeast Canton community through his daily example and vision. Although JRC is not a faith-based organization, we still honor Father Coleman's vision to educated children, engage seniors and strengthen community.
