Butler County Children Services

Our office will be closed on Friday, June 19, 2026, in observance of the holiday. Please direct any urgent matters to our after-hours hotline.

Middletown families 📢

Middletown families, this one is for you! Next school year, all of our Middletown early childhood learning programs—including Preschool, Head Start, and Early Head Start—are moving to a wonderful new home at the previous Central Academy building.

We will be customizing this space specifically for early childhood learning. It is the perfect place for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers to explore, grow, and track important developmental milestones.

BCESC was voted Butler County’s Best Community Supporter for 2025 and 2026 because we put our families first. Spaces are filling up, so do not wait to register your child for the upcoming school year!

Think you may be a father but aren’t sure what to do next?

The Ohio Putative Father Registry (OPFR) can help. It gives men who are not married to the child’s mother at the time of birth—and who have not established legal paternity—a way to be notified if a child is placed for adoption.
