Ready Set Grow

My son attended Ready Set Grow in pre-school and in their K-Wrap afternoon kindergarten program when he attended New Albany Elementary School's morning kindergarten. He absolutely loved it. All of the teachers are welcoming and inclusive, encouraging the kids to foster new friendships while providing an outstanding learning environment. I felt confident heading to the office everyday, knowing my child was in good hands with people who loved him and truly enjoyed his silly little personality. It was an outstanding experience.

I've had two children attend this daycare, and it's been fantastic. I love getting updates through the app with photos and details of their activities throughout the day. Allison and Tiffany are always quick to respond to any questions we have via email. My kids have enjoyed their teachers each year and look forward going to school each day. Plus, the location is ideal since it's close to the highway going into Columbus.

We have been an RSG family for 6 years and counting! We have experienced all levels of care and education that RSG provides, and cannot say enough great things about this school and the dedicated teachers and administration. All three of my children have thrived there- they are happy, curious, outgoing, creative - all the things we want and wish for our little ones. Every teacher, every person in the school knows my kiddos' names. When we drop them off and pick them up, we are always greeted with patient smiles and kind words. We love the app the school uses to provide real time updates and photos of what our kids are doing and learning. What we love most about this school simply is that they do truly care about our kids. Thank you RSG!

The teachers and administration staff at RSG are second to none, we have been there for about a year with three kids, one who is diabetic and another who was newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. They have been nothing less than spectacular in the care of our children, flexible and caring are two words that come to mind. If you want a daycare that treats the kids like they are their own, look no further. I have been and continue to be blown away by the level of child care.

Both of my girls have loved their time at RSG. They have loved and grown attached to their teachers, and it has always been clear to me that everyone here loves them. Your staff has never been anything other than wonderful for my kids. They have always been patient and kind. When we enrolled them in daycare, I expected them to be cared for, but I never expected they would learn so much. They have each learned to do so many things while in your care, and my husband and I could not be happier with their experience at RSG. Your team has always been supportive of them and a pleasure for me to interact with. I have recommended RSG to other parents in New Albany and will continue to do so.

My daughter went to this kindergarten for a month and a half, and observed two serious problems in this kindergarten. First, the class teacher does not require children to wash their hands. In my daughter's class, she never washed her hands before lunch or after playing outside. In the first week, my daughter only stayed in the kindergarten for half a day. I went to wait for her at noon every day. On the first day of entering the garden, I was in the classroom with my daughter. I also saw that the teacher did not ask the children not to wash their hands before eating. This was the main reason why the daughter became infected quickly and ended up in hospital. Second, teachers change frequently. In the third week of our daughter's kindergarten, we were told that the leading teacher in the class was leaving at the end of the month. After two weeks, we have been informed, in another assistant in the class the teacher also want to leave, my daughter in the kindergarten for a month and a half time, two weeks, in class every day in the change of the teacher.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Tiffany and Beth are and really everyone at ready set grow. I have a 7 year old and a 9 month old here and have nothing but accolades for the team. My infant son receives such great care and his doctor says he is far more advanced than his age group. I thank Tiffany and Beth as they really are fantastic with him and he is already walking at 9 months.

Ready Set Grow has been wonderful for my family for the last 6 years! I had looked at many daycare providers in the area before I chose Ready Set Grow. They have really worked with us when we have had issues arise and taken care of my needs.

Just a run-of-the-mill day care. If you expect more, you will be disappointed. We were strung along while our child attended a toddler classroom there. We were told that the new (as of summer 2015) curriculum would promote active engagement and meaning making for the children. Instead what we observed every day was an under-resourced classroom, frequent teacher turnover (both teachers quit in the 4 months our daughter attended), poor communication with parents (limited to a daily post re: potty, lunch, and nap -- nothing about what activities the kids did that day), and most times when we picked up our child she was wandering around the classroom. With just a few dolls to play with, a very bleak kitchen set, nearly bare walls, and a few blocks and books to share among the 20-something kids, they appeared to be bored. I was informed that other toys came out during the day, but with the lack of communication, I had no idea what else they played with and when. If you are looking for a place for your kids to be fed and napped while you're at work, this place is fine. If you want an engaging and enriching environment where your kids will establish solid relationships with their teachers and come home excited from what they did or learned that day, look elsewhere.

We checked out a few pre-schools when we moved to Ohio last year and ended up selecting Ready, Set, Grow in New Albany. We made the right choice! Our kids love it and the school has great teachers and excellent facilities. This is a friendly learning environment for your kids that is safe and secure. The staff is professional and the curriculum is ideal combining cognitive learning, playtime, social & emotional growth, and physical gross motor skills.
