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! read more
