Jolly Tots Too

It's a rare occasion when you discover a business whose name actually fulfills its mission in real life. We've discovered this refreshing truth over the last few months at Jolly Tots Too. Everyday when we pick up our baby, he appears to be a real "Jolly Tot". That is the result we expect from a great childcare facility. It's definitely not easy choosing a daycare for the most precious gift in your life. There's a lot of homework involved from all the research to the in-person interviews to the referrals. With so many to choose from, we only hoped that one would stand out from the crowd to make it easy for us to decide. That one standout was Jolly Tots Too. We really like the staff. The owner and managers are very accommodating. Our caregivers seem to really enjoy what they do and they especially enjoy our baby. That always helps! The facility is conveniently located right off of North Hamilton Road and Rt 161. It is only a few years old. Even more importantly, it's very clean and orderly from top to bottom. This is something lacking in a lot of the day cares that we visited. Finally, it's very safe and secure. The staff really knows what they're doing and the building is very sound. If you want your little one to be "jolly" while away from you, then Jolly Tots Too is the place for you!

There may be nothing tougher in one's entire existence than making the decision to leave a precious baby or child in the care of others. Most of us would much rather take care of our little ones ourselves, keeping them safe and secure and happy in our presence.When that's not possible, we thank heaven for a place like Jolly Tots Too. Kelly runs a tight ship and this place is amazing! Our daughter has been going here since 12 weeks of age and absolutely loves it. The power has been out this week and despite fun times with Mom and Dad, she's been hanging her head sadly, asking "I go school today? I go school today?" and talking about how much she misses her friends.As the other reviewers have stated, she's happy every day when I pick her up. She runs to me smiling at pick-up time and when I ask if she had a good day, she says "yes! I so happy!" She has also learned a TON here - stuff I know we never taught her. She's developmentally off the charts and I know the teachers at JTT have helped with that.Thanks, Kelly and staff at Jolly Tots Too for giving us parents a wonderful, fun, educational "home away from home" for our kids while we have to work.

It's tough to pick a day care but coming here was a pretty easy decision. The place is stimulating for our two kids, is safe, and we have no concerns with coming here. The older kids have some great educational opportunities, including Spanish and sign language, among others. The staff, including teachers, are great. They care about the kids - they kids all are in great moods going home after a good day. We consider ourselves lucky to have found a good place for our kids.

We love JTT! It was an excruciating day when we had to leave our sweet 3 month old girl when I went back to work. JTT did a great job making me feel good she was well taken care of and very loved! She continues to excel now turning 3, and JTT far exceeds my expectations for her lesson plan. Very involved teachers, great stimulation for the kids and great partnership with parents, makes this the very best in the area. A huge plus to have Nurse Sue on staff with owner, Kelly. Most of the teachers have been there for a very long time too. Highly recommend!

BEST DAY CARE EVER! We recently moved away from Columbus, so we were forced to find a new day care. We've visited several day cares and had the boys at two of them, and nothing compares to our experience at Jolly Tots.JTT is organized (from what I've seen, unfortunately, this isn't common!). JTT maintains its student/teacher ratio at all times. (We visited a center that had a 10:1 ratio in one of the classrooms, and I counted at least 13 kids in there with one teacher!) JTT has a nurse on staff who is wonderful! There is always someone at the front desk (who knows what is going on) and the girls know everyone and are always so nice and welcoming too. The owner, Kelly Brisker, knows us and our family, and we know her too. She knows everything that is going on at the Center, and address all questions/concerns immediately. All of the JTT teachers really care about the kids, and most of them have been at JTT for quite a while. I'm seeing what a lot of teacher turnover looks like... chaos! There is LOVE at JTT - they love the kids, not just watch them and teach them. Overall, EVERYONE at JTT cares about the kids and wants to make sure parents are informed. They don't treat it as just a 'job.' I went for a whole month at a new day care not knowing they had a 'share day' and my son wasn't bringing in a toy to share =( All in all, if anyone in the Columbus area is looking for a great day care, nothing compares to Jolly Tots. And to Kelly and all of the teachers and staff at JTT, we miss you and thank you for helping to raise my boys! I've come to learn how much everything you did truly meant to me!
