Schools in Columbus, OH

“So, let me start off by saying that never once did I consider putting my children into daycare. Unfortunately back in 2021 my children lost their father and I had to make things happen. So I had no other choice .. I can say just speaking with Admin was comforting. You could tell that they care about the safety and wellbeing of every single child. The first day my children started I was still a little nervous but I was able to keep tabs on them through an app and that put me at ease. Once my girls came home and was so excited to go back the next I felt a great deal of relief. My girls are still attending and we still love it. The teachers have fun educational activities for the kids, everything is documented (bathroom breaks, if they ate etc.) I could honestly go on and on about this amazing place we won't be going anywhere else ever. I want to thank the owners and directors they are all amazing keeping things so organized and controlled. There are many classrooms and different age groups with THE BEST teachers. My kids love them to death and will go on and on about them. Nothing but positive things for this center I hope these teachers are as appreciated as they should be. I recommend this place to everyone. Such a caring, diverse, understanding and supportive Daycare.”

“We have nothing but incredible things to say about Goddard in Worthington Hills, and would recommend to anyone looking for a high quality childcare and preschool experience. As an anxious mom, I have been able to breathe easier after our experience with two of our children going through, knowing that not only are they truly loved and well cared for, but they are thriving and learning so much. When you walk in you immediately see walls full of open-ended children’s art work, and each room is complete with developmentally appropriate and engaging furniture and toys. My children usually don’t even want to leave! As a kindergarten teacher, I have had many students come from Goddard and they are always well prepared both academically and social-emotionally. I have always appreciated how the teachers go the “extra mile” to accommodate when I’ve had extra needs for my kids - and without so much as batting an eye. The director, Sarah, is incredibly welcoming and kind. She and her team are approachable, easy to talk to, and always willing to work with you if there are any questions, concerns, or needs. Another bonus - there are several teachers who have been there for years and years. A testament to the low turnover rate for teachers and lasting commitment to quality education for our babies. Teachers who work at Goddard don’t just want a job, they want to make a difference - and it shows!”

“Great teachers, great staff. Very communicative with parents about any issues. They engage with the kids and challenge the kids educationally and do regular fun activities with them (Gator Dave, Kona Ice Day, Splash Days during the summer, etc.) - highly recommend!”

“Such an assuming place at both locations. Clean professional, knowledgeable and a wonder environment for any child. Owner and Director are both very experienced and it is obvious!”

“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 nephew has gone here since he was 6 months old, and he’s in Pre-K now. The management and staff are very professional, friendly, and care for your kids like their own. His teachers Mrs. Sowji, and Mrs. Aswini are incredible. This daycare has been a second home to our family. Please go ahead and check them out, because I know my family and I couldn’t more thankful for them!”

“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. 🙂”

“My children have been going here for 5 years. The staff are great. The facility itself is clean. I've never had a problem with my children falling ill. The director is very attentive and addresses any concerns immediately. I'd recommend this place over and over again. If you live or work in the area and are looking for a Great daycare service for your children, Merry Mophet is the place .”

“We’ve had experience in the infant room all the way to the preschool room - they truly treat my children like family. A friend with older kids suggested a couple of years ago and we’ve never looked back! The set up and schedule promotes interaction, development, and play. We are moving out of state and will miss everyone here! For two working parents the hours are great and there are barely any days we have to find coverage as there is no winter or spring break.”

“My kids go here and have for over a year . They love there teachers as well as the directors like there family ! They feel safe and comfortable while there . My littlest is special needs and they’ve been patient and worked with him as well as help get him services ! I would recommend this daycare!”

“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.”

“Sunshine Early Learning Center is a gift for busy parents with children attending their faith- based nurturing programs. On a recent visit to Columbus, I accompanied my daughter to pick up my grandchildren, ages 6 months and 3 years. I was amazed at how remarkably clean and safe the facility was, while providing such creative, stimulating and welcoming environments in each child’s classroom/play space. The outdoor playground and indoor gym were wonderful. I was most impressed by each child’s teacher. They were so visibly engaged with my grandchildren’s individual development. My granddaughter’s obvious growth in motor skills, thinking processes, managing emotions, verbal communication and even manners, cemented the thought that she is in a great space. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the photographs with the children’s smiling faces sent at various times throughout the work-day really reassure my daughter & son-in-law that care at Sunshine Early Learning Center is first rate. Cudos to the director and her team!”

“Where do I even begin?
My son has been at Creative Child Care since he was just 6 months old, and from the very beginning, the experience has been nothing short of incredible. I have watched him grow, learn, and truly thrive in an environment filled with warmth, creativity, and care.

The teachers and administration are not just educators—they are extraordinary people who pour love, patience, and dedication into everything they do. They’ve played such an important role in my son’s early development, and for that, I am forever grateful.

He genuinely loves going to school every day. He talks about his friends, lights up when he sees his teachers, and comes home excited to share what he's learned. As a parent, there is no better feeling than knowing your child is happy, safe, and supported.

Creative Child Care has been a second home for him—and a huge part of our lives. Thank you for everything you do. You are truly making a difference.”

“Northwest childcare center is a great place for your family and kids. They offer childcare for infants , toddlers preschool and pre kindergarten as well as school agers for aftercare and summer camp.Most teachers and staffing have been there for many years and offer tons of experience in the childhood education Field. I love that they offer different events and opportunities for the kids and are faith based. They have a gym and toddler room for when the temperatures are too cold so kids can still get an opportunity to play outside the classroom. During summer they offer swimming for the older kids as well as splash pad for the toddlers and preschool through pre kindergarten . They have summer and fall festivities . The staff care about the families and students and are amazing it is overall a great place for your child to connect with other kids and teachers, as well as connect with God , and learn and grow .”

“The staff here really care about my daughter. She comes home happy and content. She goes to “school” with a smile on her face. The teachers are so kind. Ms. Leah and Ms. Destanee are her main teachers and do such a great job. Feel very lucky to have such a caring daycare so close to home”

“We come to this church for Upward basketball in the winter. The coaches and staff and referees have been amazing. Upward is a faith centered program where all are welcome. It has given my special needs 6th grader (this is his last year of Upward) a place he can have fun and compete but not worry about scoring g lots of points or being cut from a team. He feels like he belongs.”

“Our son has been at CityKids since he was 3 months old and I can sincerely say that the staff there has become a second family for us. We are so grateful for the love and care our son has received and we will miss everyone there when we move in a few months. There are many great daycares around, but I can’t imagine a more nurturing place for our son to learn social and academic skills and, most importantly, feel at home.”

“I absolutely love Mother’s Helper. My son has been there since he was 6 weeks. I never have to worry about him while he’s there. He’s always so happy at drop off and pick up. The teachers adore him. Mr. Lamont has always been so helpful from the very beginning. He was able to help me with the title 20 process as well. I definitely recommend bringing your child to the center.”

“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”

“I’ve had a really good experience with Little Buckeye. Everyone has always been kind and welcoming, and my child enjoys being there. The environment is warm, organized, and full of people who truly care. The staff is attentive, professional, and always makes me feel confident that my child is in good hands. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and it shows in the way the children are treated every day.”

“My son absolutely loves this preschool! The teachers are incredibly kind, caring, and professional. I've seen such great development in his behavior and learning skills since he started here. The environment is safe, fun, and nurturing. I’m so grateful to have found this place – highly recommended!”

They have plenty of supervision and they take babies and kids all ages and they’re very nice. They have a playground they can play on weather permitting. and do activities with the kids outside weather permitting.”

“I cannot say enough good things about this school. 2 of my daughters are current students and the growth and confidence they’ve gained is amazing. The teachers are all so kind and SO good with the kids. They are willing to work with kids who may have extra needs. They are so worth the money. I absolutely love this place.”

“What fun it is to come to Columbus for a month and subscribe to a Jewish community center. I come from California and the price here per month is a joke compared to the amount of things the place offers!!! First of all, there is plenty of parking and the spaces of the building are amazing, everything is big, including two huge pools, one outside, one inside, full of classrooms, sports fields and very large spaces of a variety of fitness facilities and weights. !!!?”
