Schools near Brook Park, OH

“First off my son has been going here three months before he’s turned one years old and he’s going to be 4.. the daycare teachers that actually stay and have been with him since he was a baby are absolutely wonderful! Taking care of babies/toddlers/kids even big kids is freaking rough that’s why half the parents that get days off from work still stick their kids in daycare so they can give themselves a day of peace! At least I do sometimes!! I trust that my son is in great care there! Miss Willie, Miss Courtney, Miss Michelle and Miss Diane all rock! I have never had a problem with any of the teachers or even Miss Kristi herself! I can stand there and joke with all of them or even tell them about my day. I’m sorry so disgruntled employee got burnt out and just couldn’t do it! Shitty employees will always go bad mouthing a company behind their back that’s what happens. Like I said my son’s been here for about 3 years and I HAVE NEVER had a problem! ??‍♀️”

“Our daughter has been at this daycare for 4 years now. We’ve recently been navigating behavior issues due to some drastic changes in her home life and Richelle and Ashley have been nothing short of amazing in being supportive and assisting in getting her back on the right track and guiding us to the support we need. It’s so nice to know that this daycare genuinely cares about our children’s health and wellbeing and goes out of their way to ensure she’s on the right path forward. I have nothing but good things to say about this center since Richelle has taken over.”

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Wishing Well! Our son truly loved coming to the school! he’s learned and grown so much in such a short time. A huge thank you to the director, Elaine, for creating such a nurturing environment, and to his amazing teachers, Ms. Powell and Ms. Istanbouli, who have been truly wonderful. Their care, patience, and dedication made all the difference. We’re so grateful!”

“The Goddard School of Independence is an Amazing school ! Working in the infant room has been an absolute pleasure! Our staff here are amazing and truly work hard to ensure a safe and suitable learning environment for all of the children. The parents are amazing and very appreciative for our great nurturing skills .I’d highly recommend anyone who is looking for a great learning environment with dedicated and approachable staff to enroll their little ones here !”

“Enrolling my son at The Goddard School has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made as a parent. From day one, the entire staff has gone above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment. Their passion for early childhood development truly shines through in everything they do.

Over the past year, my son has grown in so many ways — academically, socially, and emotionally. He’s become more confident, curious, and excited about learning, and I give full credit to the incredible teachers and staff who pour their hearts into every child. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to keep children engaged while also fostering creativity, independence, and kindness.

The Goddard School feels like a second home to him — so much so that he’s genuinely sad he can’t be there all the time! That speaks volumes about the love and care he receives every day.

If you’re looking for a school where your child will be celebrated, encouraged, and supported every step of the way, I can’t recommend The Goddard School enough. It’s more than just a school — it’s a family.”

“Love this place! They were so willing to work with my daughter and understood that kids are kids and they don’t always have great days. Paige & her staff has been absolutely phenomenal working with my daughter and working with me on payments. Definitely recommend!”

“We could not be more happy with our decision to send our daughter to the Co-Op. The classes are small, and the teachers are absolutely phenomenal. They truly care about these kids. As parents, you have a unique advantage of being as involved as you'd like to be in the activities and committee ongoings. If you're looking for the perfect preschool, this is it.”

“Our daughter has attended Primrose for over 1.5 years since we relocated to Strongsville from out of state. The program has allowed her to continue to grow, building upon her previous foundation from other daycare system. Staff and teachers have been respectful and supportive. Couldn’t be happier with our decision to select Primrose School of Strongsville.”

“I had heard about the concerns and issues from when the previous director and staff was here. But since sept 2024, there is a new director who has worked tirelessly to get the school/day care up to a wonderful environment along with hiring a whole new staff that is caring. I have two children who attend and my experience has been excellent.
The school offers many extras like "fit buddies" which is a yoga class, paints and pianos class and natural outdoor play areas. There is a daily core curriculum that is followed and a digital app that the teachers record all the days activities that may include pictures.”

“This is my oldest daughter’s second year at wishing well, Strongsville. She looks forward to going to school each morning to see her teachers and friends. She always has such good things to say when I pick her up that it gets my second daughter excited for when she goes next year. Both years I’ve had an amazing experience myself with her teachers and if there has been any questions or help that is needed Elaine is always there to help with those as well! Nothing but happiness for my daughter and reassurance for me that this is a great school for our little ones! ?”

“Kids First is an asset to the OF community. While facilities are older, the staff and general morale are wonderful. The staff are kind, attentive, and approachable. Childcare is hard and under appreciated, despite this the staff work hard to make every child feel seen and loved. Our experiences with Amy, Jayden, and Shelby have been great. Our son has learned so much academically and socially. Communication from Kids First is clear and consistent. I love the Procare app they use to share photos, meals, and bathroom break throughout the day. We are looking forward to continuing through their daycare and preschool in the coming years.”

“We loved everything about Goddard in Rocky River! During our son's time there, almost 2 years, he grew so much socially, emotionally and learned the tools for future development. The staff is incredible, the facilities are so nice and clean. If you are looking for a place that is nurturing, reliable and extremely responsive this is the place to send your child. We will miss Goddard and all of our friends!”

“The Goddard School of Broadview Heights stands out as the top choice for early childhood education. It's more than just a daycare - it's a place where our children engage with diverse curriculums and develop confidence through meaningful relationships with their teachers and peers. We have immense appreciation for our exceptional teachers and are overjoyed with our decision to enroll both of our young kids at Goddard Broadview Heights. We are grateful to Kyle, the owner, for his outstanding leadership and for fostering a culture of love and responsibility. - The Samiei Family.”

“I can’t even begin to explain how grateful I am for this place. I was so nervous to send my son to daycare but I did not have an option, as soon as I walked in I knew this was the right place. The staff was so comforting about the process. All the women who work here are amazing, they go above and beyond for the families. I moved to another city and did not transfer. I would rather make the longer drive to a place I know genuinely cares about the kids and parent.”

“Our child is in Kindergarten now and we not only see how well prepared she was, we have also heard it from her Kindergarten teacher. The classroom prepared her not only with math and reading, but more importantly it taught her how to co-exist in a classroom with other children and how to do the little but important things like stand in line to go outside nicely, treat friends and adults with respect and become more independent. We loved our experience and friends we have made along the way”

“I have 2 kids that attend Little Critters and they absolutely love it. I personally love the way that the staff always communicates with and involves the parents in the activities and planning of events. They work really hard with the kids and do such an amazing job.”

“We love everything about Discovery World! Especially how much are kids love it. My daughter looks forward to seeing her teachers (jumps up and down) and her friends. They have really brought her out of her shell.”

“I live at the Senior apartments directly across from the daycare! I enjoy watching these children everyday along with their Teachers! Well today, I received a stack of holiday colorings from my "little neighbors ". The delight was overwhelming, still crying over the gracious gift.. I could have ever received. They all know me, as the highlight of my day is watching them play and hearing their joy and screams too! ? And all the waves I get! This school is a blessing as I see how delighted the kids are to be there...they run in from the cars! So thank you for making my day! Much love to all ”

“There isn't enough words to describe how incredible this business is. My daughter who is now 7 has been going to PLL since she was 2 years old. I cannot give enough credit to the wonderful owners and teachers who have helped her grow and develop over the years. The curriculum is top notch. I cannot recommend PLL enough!”

“Wow! This school is everything I (as a first time parent) could have ever asked for AND beyond! My preschool-age son has never been away from me, and I was so worried to let him go off to school. But after a long search for schools I came upon Creative Playrooms Westlake (CP-W). From my first phone interaction, to my daily hellos when I drop off my son, everyone there is so kind, caring, extremely responsive to my needs as a parent AND especially to my child's needs. The teachers are some of the kindest and most understanding/sweetest people you can wish to look after your children. Seriously, we parents leave our children with strangers when we drop them off at school, but here at CP-W, it feels like dropping them off with caring family. Also, let me just say the administration and everyone at the front office are fabulous. They listen to my concerns and all the details about my son's demeanor and instantly put me at ease...always willing to work with me on scheduling toward the best outcome for my child. I couldn't recommend them harder to anyone if I tried. Everywhere I go and get asked about my child's school, we both proudly say Creative Playrooms-Westlake because we want everyone to know how great this place is..... absolutely, hands down, the best environment for my child's first school/care center. Don't go looking anywhere else folks....stop in, and see for yourselves (and bring the kiddos so they can feel it out for themselves)...they and you will love it!!!!!”

“My 3 year old goes here and every day I get to see pictures of him on the app, always doing wonderful enrichment activities. They feed the kids a variety of food, take care of them, teach them. I'm really grateful for this place.”

“My son started Parma Preschool in December after starting the year at another local preschool, where he had an awful experience. Since he started we've seen such a difference in him! His language has improved, he can write his name, more independent, he's learning how to handle emotions, and he's even working on his big motor skills (he always practices his balance). The school is clean with beautiful classrooms and other play areas throughout the building. They even take the kids outside on nice days. The staff is incredible with the kids, they acknowledge each child, they're friendly, and most importantly, they know how to work with this age group, and meet them where they're at instead of force them into a cookie cutter. We absolutely love this school and what they've done for my son!”

“Love the teachers in the infant room, Jackie and Sydney. Their passion for working with children and open lines of communication have made my transition from maternity leave to work easier than expected. They genuinely care for the development of my son, and have followed through with all of the requests I have made. I also appreciate their thoroughness for cleaning. Would highly recommend this facility.”

“My daughter loves attending Horizons!! She has made many friends, learned a lot of new things , and especially enjoys the field trips for summer camp! Would definitely recommend!”

“Let’s start with the fact I’ve never had my kids in daycare because I’ve been scared to enroll them. This daycare is literally so kind, caring and understanding. I have 3 autistic kids and I was worried about them going anywhere but this facility made sure that my girls were good. They got them into speech therapy and I was able to get them a RBT through the center as well.

Ms Marketi, the director, is amazing! She helped me through the whole process. She listens to my concerns and acts accordingly.

Ms Jen, the preschool teacher, is 10/10 the best teacher I’ve ever met! Always a pleasant exchange with her. She get down on the kids level and truly helps them understand.

Ms CiCi, the toddler teacher, is just as wonderful. You can tell she really has her heart in teaching kids. She’s helped my babies learn so much!

Ms Tamyka, the infant teacher, is hilarious. I love her love for my little baby! She’s so attentive and sweet and my baby is absolutely in love with her.

All the staff is wonderful but those four really make the difference. Thank you Clever Bee!!”
