My name is Kelly Brisker and I have been the Owner and Director for Jolly Tots, Too! since March of 2006. The best part of my day is being greeted each morning by the young smiling faces at our center. I have always felt that I was meant to be in a place where I can provide a positive influence on our next generation, and I know that being at Jolly Tots, Too! fulfills that passion. I take great pride in ensuring that we have the best teachers, that we provide a loving and educational atmosphere, and that we have a personal connection with each family.
