Schools in Westerville, OH

“Both our daughters attend and they love it so much!!! All the staff from admin to the classrooms are awesome. Marissa and Jenna in pre-k do an amazing job teaching skills to get our kiddo ready for school. Kaitlyn, Aaron, and Erica do a fabulous job in infant/toddler 1, making the transition to childcare easy for our other daughter. We're very happy with our overall experience here!”

“We are happy about the school, my daughter been attending the school almost a year. Specially Ms.Pinky and Ms. Eliza are wonderful in Kindergarten. Also the management is so caring about the kids and always easy to communicate.
Appreciate Steve for maintaining the school standards and wonderful staff.
Thanks to all of you.”

“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.”

“Goddard is truly an exceptional place where the staff feel like family and genuinely care about the growth and well-being of the children. We have truly loved all the teachers and staff. The owner and directors are flexible, accommodating, and passionate. The teachers have given us invaluable guidance as we have navigated parenthood. My three kids have attended and progressed through all the classrooms, and I’ve seen remarkable growth in their development and confidence. I highly recommend Goddard for any parent looking for a caring, clean, and enriching environment for children.”

“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.”

“My child is new there for the summer and has only been attending for a few weeks now but I just have to shout out this center as a whole! It is a night and day difference to the center we had our child at last year. The staff is attentive to the kids, prioritizing fun and safety instead of sitting on their phones. Miss Olivia is my child’s favorite teacher. She is always friendly and engaged with the kids when I pick my child up at the end of the day.”

“Everyone is wonderful! We love all of the family events. It’s also so nice to get updates and pictures of our child throughout the day- especially when our son first started. We have loved how welcoming and patient everyone is.”

“This center is so warm and has gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable leaving my first young child with them so I could return to work. The teachers are all so talented and dedicated, and the director is very responsive and warm. I appreciate the updates that I get about activities, meals, and toilets that my infant experiences in real time throughout the day through the app and every time I get a picture it makes my day to see how happy and engaged my child is.”

“They really care about your child! Some of the nicest teachers and people work there. It’s already been one year since we enrolled our daughter and we feel like we have made the best decision for her.”

“I don’t have enough words to explain how amazing La petite has been. We’ve been here for three months, and it has blown us out of the water how loving the staff and the teachers are with my son and how much he enjoys being at school. He always comes home with a clean diaper, is offered healthy meals, has a set weekly angenda and doesn’t come home thirsty like at his previous daycare. They take such good care of my son here and I am so happy that I found them.”

“My grandkids have attended KinderCare Sunbury going on 2 years now. I actively help with pickups and drop-offs. The staff have never been anything but amazing. Security is taken serious as well as education and fun structure!

We love summer camp they offer with things like petting zoo, water day, pizza parties etc.

I have no doubt with the pre-k program that our little ones will be ready when kindergarten comes.

We are thankful everyday for the kindness of the staff.”

“Just as the name of the establishment indicates, Crème de la Crème (CDLC) is truly the best of the best in terms of daycares that Westerville (and the greater Columbus area) has to offer. Not only is the facility incredible – from the fact that it is aesthetically appealing (gorgeous inside and out), but the offerings are second to none including options such as multiple outdoor playgrounds, a kitchen for culinary instruction, dance studio, bowling alley, gym, science lab, gardening opportunities, and the list goes on!

My child attended the daycare at CDLC from infancy – 3-year-old preschool and returns to CDLC for wrap-around childcare each summer.  From that time until now, he has been doted on and lovingly cared for by the outstanding staff.  While many daycare facilities are known for frequent staff turnover, one thing that stands out about CDLC is the consistency of staff-retention in the 5-years that our family has been affiliated with the daycare.  This makes for easier transitions, consistency, and an increased feeling of safety for our family. Additionally, I’ve noted that many families seem to stay enrolled in the facility throughout the early childhood years, which is great, because each summer my child picks right back up with old friends that he originally met in the newborn/infant classroom!

As a working mother, safety is paramount and CDLC seems extremely safe and secure. The front vestibule contains two fingerprint keypads that parents/caregivers must utilize to enter the building. Once inside the facility, there is a large front desk area manned by multiple administrative staff greeting each family as they enter. Although CDLC is a huge facility, the front desk staff members somehow remember the names of all students, caregivers, and even older siblings that aren’t enrolled at the daycare, which makes for a very personalized daily experience.  I have a unique work schedule that the administrators have been so flexible with accommodating over the past five years.  This flexibility and ease of re-enrollment make it impossible for me to consider any other daycare establishment especially for our summer care needs.

From an educator’s perspective, the pre-academic & social-emotional learning opportunities are well developed.  The app allows for easy communication between school and home and includes pictures/updates of daily activities. The weekly newsletter keeps caregivers informed of current and future learning activities - and it is always such a treat anytime my child is featured in the newsletter!

All in all, CDLC has been an amazing investment in my child’s future, and I have been beyond pleased with our experience.”

“My daughter has been at this daycare for 6 years. The best feeling is that when I drop her off, I don't have to worry about if she is being taken care of. I know she is! When she first started when she was 3, she would cry when I left, not really play with the other kids, and didn't eat there for the whole first month. Everyday, they would give me multiple updates throughout the day. The teacher would also sit at the table with her everyday and encourage her to eat. She eventually came around and this place became very special to her. She loved her teachers and they loved her as well. I have never had a bad experience. They have become like a second family to us. I am grateful I found a good daycare.”
