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!
Central College Preschool is an amazing place! All the teachers and staff are so kind and caring! I recommend this school to everyone I know as they go above and beyond to prepare students for kindergarten and create a safe and fun learning environment. As a family we are welcomed and valued and this school feels like home. We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!
Central College helped my daughter overcome her fear of school. After a rough start at another placement, she was fearful of the teachers, classmates, and school generally. Within a few months, she began hugging her teachers, playing with her new friends, and surprising me with all of the new skills she was picking up. Today she's thriving. I've been surprised to find every staff member there knows her and watches out for her. They've taught her how to interact respectfully with her classmates, and how to stand up for herself. She really loves school now, which is all I can ask for, and the staff has been great about working with me on a variety of issues to support her education. Central College works hard to support its parents and students and I only wish I'd taken the chance to start her there sooner!
Not a spam review, the schools comment that this is spam is a lie. This is known to be one of the worst preschools in Westerville, very unsafe and several parents removing their children in 2022 for safety reason last year. Ohio schools inspectors are investigating abuse claims. I wish I’d done more research before I enrolled my child there. Teachers allow bullying, pushing, insults to 3 and 4 year old children with children with aggressive behaviour and learning issues being allowed to punch other 4 year olds regularly and the school do nothing. Under qualified teachers and because it’s a private school you have no rights and if you raise it with staff several times eventually they’ll just tell you to remove your child with zero notice. They overcharge for only a few hours of lessons only in the morning, the rest of the day is just glorified babysitting. The after school classroom assistant Hannah shouts and abuses the little children in the after school rooms. Please please avoid if you want to keep your child safe. Update: April 2023 this is a real review, my child was there from 2022 to 2023 and the response below school lying that we didn’t attend is typical behaviour and proof of how bad this poorly managed preschool is. Ask around many locals will tell you how bad their safety rating is, they failed 3 out of the 4 last Ohio State inspections and they had to fix issues to have follow up inspections. This is all public information so please do your research. Our children need to be protected and Central Collage Christian Preschool do nothing to stop bullying and abuse to 3 and 4 year old children.
The teachers are the best! The are so loving to the kids. My son has learned so much here. He is ready for Kindergarden.
