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.
Jolly Tots, Too! is conveniently located at 5511 N. Hamilton Road in Gahanna, Ohio. The center occupies approximately 12,200 square feet. The facility has 11 classrooms and one indoor muscle room, each having its own emergency exit. There are two large outdoor playgrounds with rubber mulch and privacy fences for safety.
The center's program combines early life-style and health and wellness education programs. A comprehensive, educational, learning-center curriculum is provided and directed toward the individual needs of each child in order to promote the optimal level of development. The center is dedicated to providing each child with the best possible foundation for successfully accomplishing the growth and developmental milestones.
Our Infant Care programs are for children ages 6 weeks to 18 months. Infancy is a time for bonding. It is the most difficult time for both parent and child to be separated. An infant's rapid growth requires energy and patience from the child-care provider.
Although all stages of development are important, special emphasis is required during infancy as it is a time for the development of security and trust-a time when the attachment/bonding process takes place.Infants are cuddled, rocked, and loved. The infant stimulation program contributes to the physical, intellectual, and social maturation of each child.

We strive to provide our infants with the most supportive, loving, nurturing and caring environment available. We not only provide TLC from 6:45 am to 6:15 pm, but we incorporate a stimulation program in our day to help our infants reach their growth and development milestones on time, if not early.

The JTT teachers have become part of our family! We instill a lot of trust in these teachers and they continue to amaze us!! They are hard working and clearly love what they do. Our boys LOVE JTT which makes it so much easier to focus at work every day knowing they're in good hands. The on-site nurse is a huge bonus!!

Both of our lil' kiddos goes here from day one since they were babies. All the staff here is amazing! I was debating if we should put my son in public kindergarten or here...We decided to have him stay....by far it was the best decision we've ever made. Ms. Amy who's been teaching over 20yrs here is incredible teacher. I see how she teaches them.… Bottom line I "HIGHLY RECOMMEND"to any parents that wants the best for their kids to come here. Talk to Kelly the owner she is very organized & informative. The only thing I wish is that if Jolly Tots would go all the way up to High School

We love JTT! It was an excruciating day when we had to leave our sweet 3 month old girl when I went back to work. JTT did a great job making me feel good she was well taken care of and very loved!
She continues to excel now turning 3, and JTT far exceeds my expectations for her lesson plan. Very involved teachers, great stimulation for the kids and great partnership with parents, makes this the very best in the area. A huge plus to have Nurse Sue on staff with owner, Kelly. Most of the teachers have been there for a very long time too.
Highly recommend!

There may be nothing tougher in one's entire existence than making the decision to leave a precious baby or child in the care of others. Most of us would much rather take care of our little ones ourselves, keeping them safe and secure and happy in our presence.
When that's not possible, we thank heaven for a place like Jolly Tots Too. Kelly runs a tight ship and this place is amazing! Our daughter has been going here since 12 weeks of age and absolutely loves it. The power has been out this week and despite fun times with Mom and Dad, she's been hanging her head sadly, asking "

It's tough to pick a day care but coming here was a pretty easy decision. The place is stimulating for our two kids, is safe, and we have no concerns with coming here.
The older kids have some great educational opportunities, including Spanish and sign language, among others.
The staff, including teachers, are great. They care about the kids - they kids all are in great moods going home after a good day. We consider ourselves lucky to have found a good place for our kids.

It's a rare occasion when you discover a business whose name actually fulfills its mission in real life. We've discovered this refreshing truth over the last few months at Jolly Tots Too.
Everyday when we pick up our baby, he appears to be a real "Jolly Tot". That is the result we expect from a great childcare facility.
It's definitely not easy choosing a daycare for the most precious gift in your life. There's a lot of homework involved from all the research to the in-person interviews to the referrals. With so many to choose from, we only hoped that one would
