Our Child Care Programs
Infant Daycare
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.

Why Choose Jolly Tots Too?
Jolly Tots, Too! On-Site Nurse
We are very proud of our on-site nurse Sue Rikk. She provides compassionate care to keep our young ones healthy at all times! Thus, we have a health and safety program that stands out among the crowd! When a Registered Nurse is on site to answer questions, it eases all medical concerns. It is also important that our teachers practice healthy and safe protocols to keep the spread of germs and illness down inside the classroom. Our entire staff is educated in CPR, First Aid, Communicable Disease, and Child Abuse/Neglect. Read more about Sue by clicking on her photo!
Music Appreciation
We love to incorporate music throughout our program at Jolly Tots, Too! Music can help us teach new concepts, encourage verbal language skill development as well as literacy. We do this by singing songs and dancing which promotes large motor development. Once a month we have a special music teacher that meets with each classroom to introduce new instruments and songs.
Language & Multicultural Program
The multicultural components at Jolly Tots Too are designed to expose the children to a variety of cultural experiences, traditions, and foreign languages. Children receive instruction in Spanish and Sign Language each week. These lessons are directly related to the topics studied through the weekly curriculum. Therefore, we help increase the child's awareness of the people of other cultures. Every year Jolly Tots Too hosts a multicultural fair, where children experience different countries and cultures within our center.
Preschool with the Lowest Teacher to Student Ratios in Columbus
Our low teacher/student ratios (best in the Columbus area!) give the opportunity for more individual attention, better supervision, the ability to learn from a variety of teachers, and the comfort of knowing that your children are in a safe environment.
Parents Committee
In recognition of the need to involve parents with Jolly Tots Too, we encourage parent participation in their child's development. Parents can help out by joining the parent committee. The parent committee allows parents can can help with suggestions to make Jolly Tots Too a better daycare. It is because of this committee that parents, staff, and children now enjoy social events together, parents feel more informed through the communication board and new ideas can be easily heard. In only a short time, we have already shown many successes with the parents committee. We encourage everyone to be a part of it, as no part is too small. Since starting the committee, we've planned a picnic, a trip to Circle S Farms, a parents' night out, a carnival, this website, and an upcoming bowling night.
