“Our children have been attending Eastgate for about a year and a half now and we could not be more impressed. The staff is great, with one child in Pre-K and twins in the infant room. They communicate well and we know that are children are taken care of based on their excitement when we arrive in the mornings, the pictures sent throughout the day, and the stories our older child shares on the ride home. I love the comforting feel of the center and the smaller community where everyone knows everyone. We could not be more happy with the care our children receive and we know they are being taken care of, learning, and having fun!”

“We've sent all 4 of our kids here over the last 9 years (with 4 more years to go, youngest one is with the toddlers). It is an amazing facility with an even better team. We feel like we are a part of the family there and the whole team is an extension of ours. The kindness, compassion and love we feel from them all is incredible. 5-stars doesn't even equate to how high of praise we give EC Westerville!”

“Both of my children attended daycare at Goddard. My oldest still runs to say hello to his teacher in Pre-K. My youngest loves his teacher and always comes home with wonderful stories to share.”

“Our family has had a wonderful experience at Primrose School of Canal Winchester. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff have created a welcoming, nurturing, and safe environment where our child has been able to learn, grow, and thrive.

The dedication, patience, and genuine care shown by the teachers are truly remarkable. They take the time to get to know each child individually and make learning both engaging and fun. We have seen tremendous growth not only academically, but also socially and emotionally.

Communication with families has always been excellent, and it is clear that the leadership team and staff are passionate about providing the highest quality early childhood education. Knowing that our child was in such caring and capable hands gave us tremendous peace of mind every day.

As our child graduates from the Pre-K program, we are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Primrose has had on our family. The school has helped build a strong foundation for future learning and success, and we will always appreciate the love, support, and encouragement they have provided throughout this journey.

We highly recommend Primrose School of Canal Winchester to any family looking for a caring, professional, and enriching educational environment for their child.

Thank you to all of the amazing teachers and staff for everything you do!

— A Grateful Primrose Parent ❤”

“We love TLE New Albany! We have attended for a little over a year, and my son loves it here. The teachers are amazing, and you can tell how much they truly love the students. Ms. Jas and Ms. Heather who are in Infant B feel like family, and I fully trust them to care for our son. Ms. Nikki, the chef, knows each kid by name and seamlessly pops in and out of each room and knows each kid by name and how they like their food. I would recommend this center to anyone!”

“As a father who takes education seriously and believes in laying a strong foundation early in life, I cannot speak highly enough of Primrose School of Johnstown Road. Our daughter recently graduated from their program, and I can honestly say this has been one of the most enriching and positive experiences of her young life — and ours as parents.
From day one, we were impressed by the thoughtful, well-rounded curriculum. It struck the perfect balance between structured learning and creative exploration. Our daughter was not only learning letters, numbers, and early literacy skills, but also growing emotionally, socially, and intellectually in ways that we couldn’t have imagined at the start. Every lesson seemed to be designed with purpose — fostering curiosity, independence, and kindness.
The teachers here are nothing short of incredible. Not only are they experienced and highly skilled, but they are genuinely passionate about their work. It was clear to us that they knew and valued our daughter as an individual. They took the time to understand her unique personality, her strengths, and her challenges, and they worked with her — and with us — to help her thrive. It’s rare to find that level of care and commitment, and it meant the world to our family.
Equally important was the peace of mind we had every day knowing she was in a safe, nurturing environment. The school prioritizes security, cleanliness, and clear communication with families — and it shows. As a parent, you want your child to be in a place that feels like an extension of your own home, and that’s exactly what Primrose School of Johnstown Road provided.
We've seen tremendous growth in our daughter — academically, socially, and emotionally — and we credit so much of that to the foundation built here. She made wonderful friends, formed meaningful connections with her teachers, and developed a love for learning that we know will carry her forward.
If you’re a parent looking for a daycare or preschool that combines quality education, genuine warmth, and strong values, this is exactly the place you want your child to be. We leave with full hearts and deep gratitude — and we will always consider Primrose School of Johnstown Road part of our extended family.
– A very proud (and thankful) Dad”

“The Goddard school is hands down the absolute best! My son has been here for just over a month and I see such a big difference in him in the most positive way. He’s talking more expressing his self better and so much more. Administration as well as the teachers are very pleasant and welcoming I would recommend The Goddard school to everyone, I have so much peace sending him here and knowing he’s still being loved on while I’m not around !”

“My daughter went to HLCC for preschool and Pre-K and absolutely loved it! The teachers are so caring and wonderful with the children. She is also very well prepared to start Kindergarten in the fall. We feel fortunate to have found HLCC and would recommend it to anyone.”

“Best daycare and teachers ever! My grandsons attend this daycare and I am blown away with the amount activities the teachers do with the children -even young toddlers (from painting vases, gluing paper, tie dying T-shirts, etc.). These teachers are so patient and caring. It is so evident the director of the daycare, Tammy, is passionate about creating and maintaining an awesome environment for all the children. Would recommend this daycare to everyone!!!”

“Our oldest daughter attended Primrose 8 years ago, and from the very beginning, we felt a strong sense of trust and comfort with the staff and the education provided. Now, our 4-year-old son attends the school, and that same level of care, dedication, and quality continues to shine through. The teachers are nurturing, attentive, and truly invested in the children’s growth. The curriculum blends learning and play so well, helping our kids build a solid foundation. We’re grateful to still be part of the Primrose family—it’s a place we genuinely feel at home.”

“Goddard School is a very welcoming and supportive environment with teachers who not only love their jobs working with children, they develop lesson plans that focus on language, social, and developmental skills for children. We have had such a positive experience with Goddard and they have made a positive impact on our child’s development.”

“The best thing I truly could have ever done was move my children to Enchanted, I love the campassion the teachers show to my children and the patience they teach them. It is hard enough being a working parent and to know my children are in a safe, caring, and welcoming place makes the days a little easier. I appreciate all the staff at Enchanted and all the hard work and dedication they put into my children I 100 percent would recommend to anyone. 🙂”

“From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted by a staff that genuinely knows and cares for each child by name. That personal touch makes a world of difference. The owners are not just figureheads—they’re present, engaged, and just as welcoming as the rest of the team.

The teachers are fantastic communicators, keeping parents informed and involved every step of the way. And speaking of involvement, the tools and resources available to parents to check in on their children throughout the day are truly second to none. It’s clear that this school prioritizes transparency, safety, and connection.

If you’re looking for a nurturing, professional, and well-run early education environment, this Goddard location sets the bar high.”

“I grew up here as a kid. Honestly some of the best years of my life. Sherry the owner is a loving Christian and a wonderful person. So much in fact that she became my mom's best friend, and she made her my God mom.”

“After four wonderful years, it is incredibly difficult to say goodbye to Ready Set Grow. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed, supported, and confident that our child was in caring and capable hands.
The teachers have been wonderful! They consistently showed genuine care, patience, and attention to each child's individual needs. The relationships they built with our children made such a positive impact and created an environment where they felt loved and excited to learn.
Over the years, we have watched our child gain confidence, make friends, and reach important milestones, and we are so grateful to the entire staff for being part of that journey. We are moving and wish we could take Ready Set Grow with us!”

“My daughter started here almost a year ago and absolutely loves it. The teachers are kind and caring. Management is quick to respond to questions/concerns. Highly recommend this daycare.”

“La Petite has become our son’s home away from home for the last 4 years, ever since he was 11 weeks old! His teachers have had a lasting place in his (and our) hearts, and we are grateful for the care they provide daily and for the wisdom they share. ❤
We also love the daily photos we get through their app! Seeing our son grow and learn new things even when we can’t be with him is amazing and so appreciated!”

“We have had an amazing experience at Primrose. As a first time mom I was so nervous about daycare, but all of my son’s teachers have been amazing. Ms. Rachel, Chelsea, and Jamie truly love my son and he is so happy there.”

“As an educator of 20 years, I have consistently been impressed by the dedication of Goddard’s teachers and leadership team, as well as by the lessons and activities provided to students. Age appropriate and fun activities lead the children to academic achievement on a daily basis. My son absolutely loves going to school!”

“The teachers and faculty here have made my transition from maternity leave to return to work a breeze. I can drop off my daughter and feel comfortable knowing she’s in excellent care and gets to learn and grow while at it. I only know the teachers in the infant room and front office so far, but I watch other children from other rooms come and go in the building and they look very happy.”

“This was my kids’ very first time in daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! My daughter absolutely fell in love with Ms. Courtney—and the love is clearly mutual. It means the world to me to know she’s in such caring hands. My son’s teachers, Ms. Jenn and Ms. Shelby, are just as amazing—always so kind, thoughtful, and genuinely interested in how he’s doing. I can truly tell they care about my kiddos, and that’s all I could ever ask for. So grateful for such a warm and supportive environment!”

“This Kindercare has been instrumental in helping my young son acclimate to living in a totally new place. We moved to Ohio knowing almost no one, and it was intimidating for such a young child. Ms. Neka was supportive from the very beginning, and made us feel welcome.

The center is clean, colorful, and welcoming. There is art everywhere, and always activities planned.

Ms. Sheena, Mr. Nathan, Ms. Georgia, and Ms. Cari have all been nothing short of wonderful in caring for my son. He has grown, and his confidence is healthy because of the skill and talent of this wonderful group.”

“We have an 8 year old and 5 year old and they have both been enrolled at this center since they were 12 weeks old. From their earliest days as infants, to their current before & after school (yes they bus to and from some Westerville elementary schools) + summer schedule, we've loved being a part of this center. The teachers are wonderful, and our kids can't say enough about their experience and all the friends they've made over the years.”

“Academy One Daycare has been an absolute blessing for our family. From the very first day, it was clear that this is more than just a daycare — it’s a nurturing, structured, and inspiring environment where children are genuinely cared for and encouraged to thrive.
The Director, Kimberly, exemplifies true professionalism in every sense of the word. She leads with integrity, warmth, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. What truly sets her apart is her heartfelt passion for the success of every single child. She takes the time to know each child individually, ensuring they feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
The staff at Academy One Daycare reflect that same dedication and compassion. They are attentive, patient, and deeply invested in the well-being and development of the children in their care. You can feel the positive energy as soon as you walk through the doors — it’s a place where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and build confidence in a safe and loving environment.
The level of communication, organization, and structure demonstrates a strong professional foundation, while the warmth and personal attention show the true heart behind the program. It’s rare to find a childcare center that balances both so beautifully.
I wholeheartedly recommend Academy One Daycare to any parent looking for a place where their child will not only be cared for, but truly valued and inspired to succeed.”

“I've been taking my two kids here for over 9 years. I really respect the staff and how Ms Halie and Ms T. care for my kids and every other child. I do not worry when my kids are in their care. I also love Ms. Karen and Ms. Monica too. My kids have been here since there were little babies <3 e”

“My youngest currently attends this Kindercare location and is in the infant room with Ms. Lisa. She’s amazing, trusting and consistent with her communication and care for babies. She even took care of my oldest 4 years ago.
Also, the new Director and assistant director (Precious and Elise) have made great improvements to the outside and inside of the center that I as a parent greatly appreciate. They always are kind when you see them and make sure the center is cleanly.”

“I can only speak as a trainer to help the staff stay updated with their health & safety training that they genuinely care for the children. It is a difficult job with a complex interplay of staff, parents, and children that make up the community. It's great to learn they truly appreciate the needs of the children. Security and love goes a long way in making the space great for the kids.”

“Great daycare for my lil one. She is 3 and have been thriving since she has started. The staff is great and caring for your children. Thank you treehouse staff for caring for my child!”

“KinderCare Sunbury Rd has been Great for my family. Shout out to Ms C'nai, Ms Katie, & especially Ms Tiffany; For their exemplary care and attention to each child. KinderCare has helped us conquer milestones big and small, from motor skills and speech to potty training- every day the staff pours their hearts' into their classrooms. On another note, the director Melissa, has been very helpful when working with ODJFS. If your are considering KinderCare and are someone who may need assistance, Melissa can help you navigate that complex system. Also the extra curriculars offered are wonderful. My daughter loves the cooking class, thank you Ms Chelsea.”
