Kiwi's Clubhouse

I was worried that since this is a flexible drop-in daycare, my son wouldn't get very much one on one time but I was wrong! The teachers are all really caring and treat him like their own kid. They ask that we fill out a sheet (for the infant/toddler room) and they do their best to follow our instructions. My son has made many friends and looks forward to going during the week. I wish they provided food but that's just a small con to so many pros that Kiwi's has. Highly recommend this place!

I can not say any enough good things about the 2-3 year old WeeSchool program. My son is the youngest in the class and has had advancements in speech and motor skills since starting. Ms Monsi is his teacher, and works so hard with the kids. She is very nurturing with all the students. I feel like she has my son's best interest at heart. Since starting he knows all his ABCs, and can count to 20. We love not only the education, but the social aspect. The price seems very reasonable $180 a months for 3 hours, twice a week. I highly recommend this program and will be sending my daughter next year!

We love Kiwi's Clubhouse in Gahanna. We have three year old and a four year old boys. This was the first place I've ever taken our kids for childcare and wow, they made the experience stress-free and fun. The staff is amazing, friendly and always quick to help. Plus, if I want to go grab lunch with friends, I just bring our toddlers to Kiwis. It's awesome to have a place we can take them all day or just for a few hours. This is the perfect place for a mom with toddlers and works from home. Our four year old has really enjoyed their preschool class. The teacher is great and our son is learning so much. He really loves going to school. I wish they had a preschool program 5 days a week! We are so lucky to have have found Kiwi's Clubhouse and we're super appreciative the awesome teachers. Thanks so much everyone at Kiwi's Clubhouse!

My daughter loves her teachers and her play areas. Everyone is very attentive and I get little notes about her each day and how much she eats. They do crafts all the time and it's so cute seeing them. She's two but she loves going here!

We recently took my child there due to school snow days. Facility seems nice, staff friendly. My biggest complaint is that my 6 year old said he was hit in the face with a toy by another child, was spit on by another child, and was then hit again in the elbow by the same child. Not one word was said to us when we picked him up and my son did have a red mark on his face. I understand kids will be kids but at least be attentive and proactive enough to tell the parents. My son also came down with the stomach flu the next day so I am not sure how good their disinfecting procedures are. Will not be dropping my son off there again anytime soon. Great concept, but seems to me that there is some improvements needed.

I have been using Kiwi's in Gahanna for about 6 months for my 3 year old girl and 5 year old boy. It is a little more expensive but I love the flexibility and the major selling point- my kids love to go there. I often worry after I've been gone for a few hours they'll be upset and I'm constantly greeted with "Oh mom, you're back already??" They have lots of crafts and activities to keep them active during their time there. Well worth the money!

This place is a babysitter not a child care provider. Very unhappy with the way this place is ran. Only had my child there a short period of time until we were able to find a new one. Baby picked up with poop diaper multiple times or child in a swing crying when we arrived to pick him up. They do not follow instructions for the baby. Would not recommend this place.

I enrolled my 4 year old in thepreschool program.The program seemed to be great on paper but unfortunately it is something they are unable to execute.After six months at preschool she was still unable to identify all the alphabets and any of the sounds even though they had started sight words in their classroom.The class was very small.Only 4 kids.They had no parent teacher conferences as said in the program.I asked the teacher several times about my daughter's progress but was reassured that she was doing fine. Extremely frustrating and disappointing experience.Moreover the director who sits there has no clue of whats going on.Its ok for for daycare but the preschool programs are a joke.They teach them nothing.This is the worst place possible to send your kids if you want them to learn something.3 hrs a day ,3 days a week and 235$ a month for nothing.uggghhh!!!!!would not recommend to anyone.

We were literally one of the first families to start using Kiwis in Gahanna and it all was good until recently. It all started when we started noticing a nickle and dime-ing issue going on after one director left and another director took over (just so happened to be the owners sister). The issue is that more often than not you find your self waiting for a staff person to come get you so you can pay up and get your kiddo. Then when you are on time, and they staff is not....guess who gets stuck with an extra 1/2 hour to pay...yep..you guessed it, YOU the parent. Took us awhile to catch on but with consistent watching the clock and documenting when we showed up and compared that to when the staff person or director was clocking us out we figured out the dishonest practice very quick. When we called out the director about this, well....lets just say it seems like she likes to hold a grudge and our child was now a "problem" and being left out of activities or we were all of sudden being informed that our child was "having a rough day and not getting along with others" or that there wasn't room in the preschool room for our child :/. NOT COOL! Outside of this director, the staff at Kiwis is really, really awesome and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to friends. I would just make sure you don't call out the director regarding her "less than honest" business practices. I hear she is stepping down so I think that's best for the business. And just to be clear...we have absolutely no problem paying for when WE are late as I get that staff needs to be paid and I sure wouldn't want a turnover of staff as they are great....its the purposeful tactics to "make more money' at the expense of your customer base. It would be helpful for parents to know as well that it's a 5 minute grace they give you so if your waiting there for 5 minutes and you were there on time for your scheduled reservation, they WILL charge you an extra 1/2 hour for that 5 minute wait THEY made you wait. Completely bad practice in my book and it really needs to be taken care of. Don't let the "bell" they put in fool you either.....I've rang that many times and still end up waiting for more than 10 minutes which then has left me late picking up my other child from elementary school. Something I'm sure the director at Kiwis doesn't consider do they? While they want to spout off some business tactic and blame parents who abuse the rules, they don't take responsibility for when THEY make other people late by not also following their own rules. So Kiwis ...while your busy dishonestly charging parents for YOUR lateness...I would suggest you also keep in mind that parents also are on a strict time schedule and YOUR lateness is something WE as parents cannot charge YOU for when you cause us problems with other events on our calendar including picking up other children from their school for which we as parents get "in trouble" for and it's not looked upon kindly by the school staff!
