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.

We are so blessed to have had our son in JTT. Like someone else said, we always picked up a "jolly…read moretot". Our son, Lucca learned great manners and had a great community. 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.

He loves to go outdoors in the natural play area. Recently, he showed off his ability to add "really big numbers" and how he's now sounding out words. CMC lives up to everything Montessori should be--hands on, self-guided, and collaborative. The classroom is beautifully laid out so the kids can move around, preparing snack or doing a big "work" on a rug. I would highly recommend CMC for anyone interested in full day child care and who believes in the beauty of a Montessori education.

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.

It has been an exciting, enriching and rewarding experience for all three. Even though we live in a community with a nationally ranked public school system, we chose Wellington because of the small class size and personal attention that a school of Wellington's size can deliver. We have not been disappointed. Our children thrive academically. They also have the opportunity to be in the band, play three different sports (lax, basketball and soccer) throughout the year without worries of being cut from the team (Wellington has a "no cuts" policy) and they can be in theater productions. Wellington encourages diversity in student interests and demonstrates its commitment to diversity in its teachers and in the students it accepts. Wellington parents are friendly, involved and welcome at Wellington. While some schools emphasize "rigor," Wellington seeks "engagement." Wellington students are engaged, active learners who generally are inspired to learn more, do more. It's an amazing place.

This is, in fact, the Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities Early Childhood Education Center. The school serves students with and without disabilities which is awesome! Front desk staff are very friendly and make check in easy. You must check in if you are a parent or a visitor. The school is pretty updated and it well kept. The restrooms were nice and clean. They are also very spacious -- this is likely due to the fact that this is a Special Needs school and kids with gross motor difficulties need space to do their business! The halls are also very spacious and well decorated. There are so many resources here. They serve 700 students aged 6 weeks to 6 years. There are many services including OT, PT and other specialists. They have multiple partnerships including the YMCA for childcare and OSU dentistry! Head Start too! It's very comprehensive. They have a "Wonder Lab" that helps kids regulate their emotions. This is awesome for kids emotional needs. It has weighted pillows, fiber optic lights and a water bed! This place really has it together!
