I've had nothing short of a great experience at this school since joining. I know my girl is loved and cared for each hour of the day. I receive daily child updates on their app (even pics) and have developed a rapport with her teachers. This change has been nothing short of a blessing for my family and we're so grateful to send our child to a place where she can thrive.

I regret I sent my child to Compass School. I was fooled by the look of the place and faked friendly faces. My child was treated unfairly among other kids. Here was one of the many examples - the teacher punished my child becasue she pushed another kid and my daughter is only 2 and couldn't talk yet. She was just doing what a normal toddler would do. The teacher punished her by putting her under a small work desk like a consolidatory confinement space, while she was calm and not throwing a fit. Yes i saw it with my own eyes.... read more

Highly understaffed. Too many teachers have changed and are changing. Teachers in the morning are different from the ones in afternoon and evening. Every day it seems they try to manage and there is no set schedule for any teacher. I do not know who to ask for morning/afternoon updates when the teachers in the evening are different and say they were not available in the morning. I do not trust the app updates, they are neither real time nor trustworthy.

The mission of The Compass School is to provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes your child's depth of knowledge while inspiring a life-long love of learning. Through the Reggio Emilia-inspired approach, children are given the tools and support to steer through their own distinct paths of discovery. Our project-based curriculum encourages children to be active participants in the learning process and to develop the skills needed to explore their ideas, interests, and questions in a meaningful way.

Where most daycare / early learning providers have one or two areas they excel in, The Compass School seems to have taken all key aspects of emotional and intellectual development to creatively nurture and consistently deliver world class child care. There are stand apart attributes at every age group and the staff is phenomenal & fully committed to the Reggio-Emilia style learning principles. All three of our children attend, & we drop them off each day knowing they will be happy, truly cared for and bursting with tales of ... read more

Everything is excellent! The only thing that is hard is the price. But, I must say you get what you pay for! The Safety, Care, Education, and Cleanliness is perfect. They love and respect every parent and child. Do not hesitate to take your child to The Gardner School. My son has gone since they opened their doors, he was 10 weeks old, he is now 2 1/2!. How many two year olds know the whole alphabet, can count to 15, speak in full sentences, know days of the week and on and on and on.

We have had two children enrolled in the Compass School from infancy through Kindergarten. They have had warm, kind teachers the entire time they have been at the school. It has been a positive learning experience for all of us. My first grade son's teacher's at Olentangy have commented on how much he loves to learn, and I credit that to the Compass School.
