My son went to the kiwi clubhouse in Gahanna the teachers LOVED my son anytime my son came in they were all so friendly at THAT location When i came in yesterday to pick up my son the director was so friendly to all white parents keeping conversations with them. But when i walked in it was very short. Explained to the white parents what they did in class and just brought my son out and said bye. Then i proceed to bring my son in this morning and instantly walked in and told me a problem they had with my son the day before. Why not mention that last night at pick up? Told me my son put kids in a head lock etc. wether that were true or not the way they were with my son was as if they were disgusted with him. Mind you he's 2. He's learning. While the behavior is terrible and he's never done it at home or have never heard that from the previous kiwi club house the way they approached it and how they had been with me and my son since i dropped him off the first day. Was terrible so i removed us completely Whites only daycare. Sharing this on all my Instagram play forms as well. I'm completely disgusted.

This child care facility is FANTASTIC!!! I transferred my son to this center this month and I…read morecouldn't be happier. He had been attending another area center and I guess I was used to the way they operated, but I kept getting the feeling that it just wasn't good enough. The administrator was not very personable (actually downright rude) and the teachers seemed lazy, inexperienced and lacked confidence...definitely not the type of environment I wanted my son to spend 8 hours a day in. I started looking into other options and nothing seemed any better. Then I stumbled on Balanced Family Academy. WOW!!!! From the minute I called them I was excited about this place. I visited the center a few times before deciding to move him. I was nervous about him transitioning into a new place and I figured it would take him a few weeks to adjust. Well...I was wrong. He LOVES this center and loves his teachers. It's amazing how well kids do when they are in a place where people are happy to be there, excited about teaching, and truly seem to enjoy their jobs! There are so many "perks" that this center offers (too many to list), but the most important thing to me is how my son acts when we walk in the door each morning. The owners and teachers are wonderful and my husband and I are thrilled we made the decision to enroll him in Balanced Family Academy.

I followed the instructions provided to go to a different door for a walk-in fridge and not go to the front door. I accidentally opened TWO incorrect doors while looking for the one with the fridge. Both of them were unlocked, opened without any effort. One of them giving access to the "gym" and the other to a classroom full of children sitting. Unlocked. If you do bring your kids here, please ask some questions and get this policy changed. Seems quite unsafe and unmonitored to me.

The president of the comany, Ami Jones, is extremely easy to work with and cares about all the sitters and families. She reaches out personally in order to ensure that sits are filled in a timely manner and is accomodating of changes that need to be made on a case by case basis. I have sat for many families and organizations all over Columbus during my 1.5+ years of working with Sitters Unlimited. I have had only a couple instances of not receiving payment on the day of and Ami made sure to touch base with the clients and facilitate them sending the payment to be via mail after the fact. Sitters gives this same condiseration and respects to its clients. I have grown close to a few of the families I've met through my involvement with Sitters. The website is easy to navigate and user friendly. This is a safe, convenient option for many Central Ohio families, churches and establishments and provides a great gig for many experienced sitters to connect with babysitting jobs. Though I have a full-time job and do this on the side, I know a plenty of sitters who obtain a much higher volume of sits easily. I support this company and would recommend it to anyone.

The women they paired us with (Susan), was so kind and professional. My usually reticent 3-year-old took to her immediately and was super-disappointed when the days with Susan were over.

If you're visiting Columbus with kids, use this company!

When we created our guest list, we quickly realized that almost every couple on our list had at least ONE kid under the age of 3. Yikes!!!! Mobile Mommies to the rescue!! Jeanette was very quick to respond to my last minute inquiry. I had never used a sitter service for our parties in the past since this Whole kid thing is new to our young circle of friends. The day of the party, Jeanette and her colleague arrived right on time. They brought all of the supplies for the kids to play with along with sign up sheets for our friends to sign when dropping their kids off in our basement. The parents had great peace of mind and enjoyed the party, knowing that their little ones were nearby and under great care!!! I highly recommend Mobile Mommies for any party you're hosting with lots of children. The kids have more fun playing with each other and so do the parents :) I could also see how this service would be perfect for weddings, graduation parties, etc!! Highly recommend and will use again!!

It was at the Convention Center and the UMW organization provided Childcare through Mobile Mommies. I had my son under the MM care for about 7-9 hours a day from Thursday through Sunday, it was convenienet because they came to the event, it was a no brainer! I was able to sneak in to check on him, and he was either napping or having a blast with all the toys and friendly company he had. I appreciated the staff and their Motherly love towards my Child. It was actually my first time having my son in Daycare, so because he was in great hands I feel a little more comfortable considering Daycare in our future. Thank you Mobile Mommies, this California Mommy and Son definitely appreciates you.

The teachers and administrators care about their students and the curriculum is fun and age appropriate. We appreciate the level of communication we receive (daily reports of what the kids were up to, along with photos from the day), which allow us to engage in conversations with our kids when they say they "don't remember" what they did that day. We started each of our sons in intermediate class (age 3-4) and both have developed new skills, made new friends, and grown so much thanks to their teachers. We were also thrilled to learn that many of our neighbors send their kids to ECLC as well, so our boys are both entering elementary school with friends they've known for a few years.

But we quickly realized there were so many other reasons to love Primrose schools, especially including its staff. The teachers are so personable, professional, and confident. They can command a classroom and respect the kids at the same time. My kid has been going to primrose for about 2 years and in that time, he has learned to walk, talk, and express opinions. The teachers have commented on how much he's grown and how fun it has been to watch. I have to give a special shoutout to Ms. Morris, Ms. Patrick, and Mr. Blake for always being above and beyond teachers during this time. I have been impressed with the programs and curriculum Primrose has provided. My kid comes home telling me about electricity and recycling, or how plants grow or about a story they read in class every day. He thrives in their academic environment. Primrose has been such a support in my parenthood journey and I would recommend it to anyone who needs an elevated daycare experience.

Shannon & Ariel are so warm and inviting and excellent communicators. The teachers are absolutely fantastic--kind, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do. They made such a personal connection with my son, and I could see how much he enjoyed being there each day. My sons main teacher, Mrs Hubbard is a true baby whisperer. The facility is clean, safe, and filled with engaging activities that helped my son develop new skills even at such a young age. I loved the open communication from the teachers; they kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and detailed reports, which really put my mind at ease as a parent. Primrose provided such a loving and nurturing environment for my little one. I'm so grateful for the wonderful care they provided and the special bond they created with my son. I would highly recommend Primrose to any parent looking for a caring, high-quality early education experience!

I do not usually write reviews unless the experience was stellar or really, really bad…read more Unfortunately in this case it is the latter. I want to be clear that the issue here is ownership. There were wonderful caregivers for my son when he was in the infant room, however when he moved to the 12-18 month room things changed drastically. I found Giggles and Grins to be a very big disappointment. My son attended here for a little over a year. In that time the communication was awful. The first issue came when there was a case of hand foot and mouth.... typical for a daycare. What isn't typical is a lack of notification. I returned to pick up my son at the end of the day and noticed that they had hung a sign on the door stating that children "may have been exposed" (sign wasn't there in the morning) I found my son completely miserable. When I asked the teacher if he had been like that all day she told me that he was "out of sorts" and had a rash on his bottom and feet. He was completely broke out with sores on his mouth and NO ONE CALLED ME!! He went all day ill with hand foot and mouth and in addition exposed several other children as well. Second instance came after I noticed that my son was coming home with several bite marks on his arms. I know that kids bite..... I get that. What isn't acceptable is a daycare that doesn't notify a parent when their kid is getting bit! I brought it to the attention of the owner and she brushed it off like it wasn't a big deal and said "it was being addressed" I let it go thinking that maybe it would stop. I was VERY WRONG. The next week I noticed more bites on my son....I was NEVER notified this was happening and had it not been for me checking him I would have never known about the biter in his class! There was no incident report. Just a flippant answer from the owner with ZERO follow up. I decided to remove my son after this incident. I could not imagine that he was being watched closely if they were not aware enough to see bites all over his arms. Lastly, the center was recently sold buy the previous owner but she is still involved. I have made several attempts to get tax information from them with ZERO response. They claim that they do not know where my tax document is and that due to the sale of the center things are a little out of sorts...... not my problem. It is now mid-Feb and I have yet to receive any tax documentation from them. I strongly suggest NOT considering Giggles and Grins for your child care needs.
