EXCELLENT Based on 27 reviews Marcie Hancharick2024-04-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would choose JTT over and over again. If you are looking for a reliable, safe, warm, engaging, close-knit, educational child care option LOOK NO FURTHER. The second you step foot in the door with your newborn in hand, you will feel it, it's undeniable. As a mother, I was searching for "that" feeling and I found it here. Each stage of my daughters' care has been exceptional. The staff is amazing. They are communicative, organized, they always plan fun "extra" things for the kids and the phone never rings more than twice if you call the center just to name a few things that separates JTT from other places. JTT has played a critical role in the development of my girls and they do it with genuine investment and care. Their specialized teaching has OVER prepared them for school. That kind of reinforcement following a big decision is what any parent would ask for! Elizabeth Casasanta2024-04-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our 2 children have attend Jolly Tots Too now over 6 years and they LOVE the center. The teachers have been great at caring for the kids from infant up and the preparation both have received in forms of education and emotional/social development has been above and beyond. Can’t say enough about the nurse on site too - always willing to answer questions and has saved us many doctor visits! I always recommend when talking to parents looking for centers just like it was recommended to me when we were looking all those years ago. Rachel Bankes2024-04-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both of our girls started at JTT as babies and both have flourished beyond our expectations from the care and education the center offers. Every classroom teacher creates a safe and loving environment, encouraging independence and helping build self confidence. The kindergarten program is top notch and put our daughter in an exceptional position when she entered first grade. I can’t say enough positive things about JTT! We’ve been so lucky for the past 7+ years that we’ve been a part of this community! Danielle Freeman2024-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love JTT! We were looking to switch daycares in summer of 2023 and looked at JTT at the referral of a close friend. We fell in love immediately with the welcoming feel, the long tenure of the teachers, staff, and leadership, and the invaluable lines of communication and ways that JTT keeps us updated on the daily activities and growth of our sweet boy! Thanks to everyone at JTT for making us feel so confidant about our son’s future! Jessica Berndt2024-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been trusting JTT with our 4 children since 2022, and they've surpassed our expectations in every class, from the infant room up to 2’s and 3’s. The staff are exceptional. They create a loving environment where our kids have built strong bonds with their caregivers and their friends. My kids are always excited to go to “school” to see their friends and teachers and participate in the fun activities, crafts, and learning experiences planned each day. Nurse Sue is a big reason we started with JTT due to the medical complexities of one of our kiddos & having a qualified nurse on-site to address any health concerns has given us immense peace of mind for all our kids. We wholeheartedly recommend JTT to anyone looking for a nurturing and enriching childcare experience! Kristina Walsh2024-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both of our kiddos have moved their way through Jolly Tots and they are both such well adjusted, smart and friendly little kiddos! Some of our favorite child care folks are Jolly Tots teachers- we trust them at school and at home! Tessa Crilley2024-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been with JTT for over 7 years. They are family to us and we have had nothing but positive experiences with all staff. Our kids love the variety of experiences and activities - including Spanish, sign language, zoo visits, character visits, music class, etc. The very best!! Alicia Ehret2024-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jolly Tots is a fantastic daycare with amazing staff! I love that so many of the staff members have 5+ years of experience. As a teacher myself, I know how much experience in the classroom can contribute to the effectiveness of the educator. I also love that new staff are able to learn from experienced teachers! There is even a nurse on staff. They have done a wonderful job taking care of my kids and helping them to learn and grow. I highly recommend Jolly Tots to any parent looking for quality daycare for their child! Xavier Bruno2024-04-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well pleased with Jolly Tots Too! Our children have attended infant through Kindergarten and we are more than pleased with their care!!! Check them out if you are looking for quality care.
Our Infant Care programs are for children ages 6 weeks to 18 months. Infancy is a time for bonding. An infant’s rapid growth requires energy and patience from the child-care provider.
Young toddlers are particularly curious. They are exploring their power over the child-care provider through obstinacy, temper tantrums, and negativism.
The preschooler is embarking on the age of discovery, inventiveness, curiosity, and development of behavior patterns.
The full day Kindergarten Program sets the stage for the higher-learning areas. During this stage of development, children are very active, curious, and eager to learn. They are much more cooperative and able to develop close friendships with their peers.
