A Bright Beginning at First Fruits Child Care

​

Nestled in the heart of Cincinnati, First Fruits Child Care is more than just a child care — it's a nurturing space where children begin their lifelong journey of learning and discovery. Founded and lovingly operated by LaToya Dixon, this home-based program has become a trusted haven for families seeking both structure and warmth in early education.

​

At First Fruits, families are welcomed into a high-quality, licensed child care home that proudly carries a Gold rating from Ohio’s Step Up To Quality program. This honor is not just a title — it represents a steadfast commitment to excellence, safety, and the holistic development of each child.

​

Understanding the diverse needs of working parents, First Fruits offers a flexible care schedule from 6 AM to 6 PM on weekdays, with evening and occasional overnight care available. This level of support ensures that children are cared for and engaged, even when parents’ schedules are demanding.

​

The program is deeply rooted in equity and accessibility. Through Head Start and early education grants, Cincinnati Preschool Promise, as well as publicly funded child care, First Fruits opens its doors to families from all walks of life, ensuring that financial barriers don’t stand in the way of a child’s right to a strong start.

​

Each day is thoughtfully designed with nutritious meals provided through the CACFP program, giving children the fuel they need to grow, think, and thrive. Learning doesn't stop at the classroom — field trips offer exciting enrichment opportunities that connect children with the world around them.

​

Whether a child is just beginning to take their first steps or preparing for kindergarten, First Fruits Child Care provides a safe, joyful, and enriching environment — one where every child is seen, supported, and celebrated.
