    They refuse to listen to parents who's opinions differ ... they hire for diversity but mot for educational assistance for the students.

    Stonybrook Early Learning Center - Preschool is located in the back of the church

    Stonybrook ELC is one of the two best preschools in Gahanna. It offers small class sizes and two…read moreteachers for each class. The director of the school, Becky Kidwell, is very sweet and accomidating. She often stops in the classrooms to get to know the chlidren and their families. The staff is very warm and is devoted to helping prepare the children for school. The curriculum has an academic focus and the children learn to write their names, bring items from home to share for each letter of the alphabet, enjoy singing with the music teacher once a week and benefit from a very nice outdoor playground and an inside gym room with equipment, parachuttes, balls, and scooters. The school does not do field trips, which differentiates it from the other local preschool at St. Luke's. Like all schools, some teachers in this school are favored over others, and the teacher responsible for the 5-year-old preschool class is one of the best teachers I've ever met. She is warm, keeps her kids in line, ensures they are ready for kindergarten, and truly cares about the welfare of the children. The school offers two-day, three-day, and 5-day programs and all of its classes are half day (9-11:30 or 12:30-3). The rates are very affordable. Registration for the following year opens to the public opens in February every year and some years, spots in the school fill up quickly-especially for the morning programs. On registration day, parents often line up at 6am. While the school was founded by and is housed at Stonybrook United Methodist Church, they do not teach religion in the classes and the preschool is a seperate entity from the church. The school hosts a Halloween Parade of Costumes, a Thanksgiving Feast, Valentine's Day and Christmas parties, which all classes participate in. My only complaint with the school is that it does not offer curb-side check in for children. This is a minor detail but, for me, it meant that I had to park my van and lug my 3-year-old and her 1-year-old twin sisters in and out of the crowded hallways with all the other parents for pick ups and drop offs-no easy feat. Our experience with this preschool for all three of my children has been excellent.

    My youngest child attends this preschool and she absolutely LOVES it!

    We have had the absolute best experience at Jolly Tots Too. From the moment we walk in each day,…read moreevery staff member greets us with a smile and knows our child by name and it truly feels like family. The infant room is filled with caregivers who not only watch your child, but genuinely care about their growth and development. Our child has learned so much, and I wholeheartedly believe it's because of the amazing people here. They offer age-appropriate activities and crafts that keep the kids engaged and learning in fun ways. They also go above and beyond with extra events like family gatherings to help parents connect, book fairs for the little ones, and the most magical visits from Santa and the Easter Bunny for photos! One of the biggest comforts as a parent is knowing they have a nurse on staff. It's incredibly reassuring, especially on those days when your child isn't feeling 100%. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be loved, nurtured, and truly cared for, send your children here! You won't regret it.

The teachers all seemed to love him and did a great job of letting us know how his day was. I never once worried if he was well taken care of or ate enough (he's a picky eater) because they always did their best and kept us well informed. I also really appreciated how they approached any misbehavior. You know, our toddlers tell us everything and for the most part some kids are just learning how to play well with others and I feel that this school really gave space with that while also doing the necessary incident reports. Lastly, our son was blessed to have grown with his classmates. There isn't a lot of turnover with kids in this school and that was such a plus for us- our son growing up with other kids and becoming best friends with them. This is the school you want your kids to go to.

The teachers acted as if they didn't care, didn't really provide direction and leadership to the students or know how to handle the students. The teacher turnover is quite high. We were there only two years and we witnessed 8 teachers leave for better places. With the new superintendent coming in, she fired over 80% of the staff. As a parent, when we send emails or voicemails to talk to the teacher about our child, they would ignore our emails & calls to the point we had to go to the Principal, Mr. Fluhart who really didn't do anything. They started a new learning model which is project based but the teachers do not know how to implement it & the kids are confused. I feel my child took a step back with the bad teaching & leadership academically. I would not recommend spending your money to send your child to this school. I was very disappointed. My child socially enjoyed the school but academically, the teachers and the administration did not care and it is going to show on their test scores with the state. Save your money and send your child elsewhere!!!!
