This expansion reflects New Story Schools' ongoing commitment to making high-quality, individualized education more accessible to families across the state.

Located on a 2-acre lot, the brand-new school offers over 15,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space to support a wide range of learning and developmental needs. The facility will feature 15 classrooms, along with a variety of specialty spaces, including a sensory gym, a life skills room to support functional independence, multiple therapy rooms for individualized services, a game room to foster social interaction, and a gross motor skill area to encourage physical development.

"We've designed this Toledo location to feel like a second home—safe, welcoming, and full of opportunities for learning and connection. As someone who was born and raised here, it's especially meaningful to bring our services to Toledo. We're not just opening a school—we're planting roots and building lasting partnerships in a community we're proud to be part of."
