Schools in Westerville, OH

“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!”

“Our son has been attending La Petite since January of 2026. We have had such a great experience from the start. Carina the manager has been very helpful with any questions we have had and my son’s teacher Colleen is amazing!! I highly recommend and it’s nice if you only want to have your child a few days a week. Breakfast and lunch is provided by them along with an afternoon snack. Diapers and wipes are also provided by them. Which was another reason we decided to go with them. You can watch your child on the cameras with their app and they upload pics and information on what they are learning each day!!”

“We spent multiple years at this Goddard location with our two children. Not only did we experience amazing progression, but even during some extremely hard times as a family, we felt incredible support as did our kids. I couldn’t recommend this location any more. The staff is incredible. We will forever be grateful for the time our kids spent here.”

“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.”

“Top-notch school with an incredible team! The faculty’s commitment to the children is unmatched. We love receiving continuous feedback on our kids' performance, which keeps us fully informed and involved in their progress. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Love love love the preschool! I can not say enough positive things about my experience. My son has a medical condition and he has needed a little more attention. Both Hope and Stacey the director and assistant director respectively, went above and beyond to tell me how the school can adapt to helping my son while other schools have turned us away or lied and not given my son any medical assistance. The teachers there are amazing and there was zero turn over while I was there! Unlike the other daycares we have attended. My son’s teachers were beyond kind and came up with amazing curriculum. My son knew over 5 songs, could tell me about science projects and art projects. I cannot say enough about how amazing this school is! There are a ton of activities for the kids and families too!”

“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.”
