The Jones School is an organization that was created to bridge the educational gap between daycare, pre-school/ pre-k and Kindergarten. The Jones School was created to provide children with the foundation that will give them the essential tools necessary to succeed on their path to academic excellence. This is what we plan to do while delivering an environment that is safe and conducive to children's academic and social growth. We have found that too often children are left behind in the early years of their development so we are dedicated to ensuring that this is not the case by delivering a program that will be aligned with the Ohio Department of Education standards and to do whatever it takes to exceed the expectations of those standards for the children that we serve. We are open Monday thru Friday 6am to 6pm. We accept Private Pay and Publicly Funded Child Care We offer great discounts for preferred employers, military, state, local and federal employees. We also utilize an electronic system which allows for you to keep up with your child's day called Brightwheel. We are here to serve you and your family.

I have over 15 years of experience of caring for children, with 7 years of business experience of caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I am 38 years of age and a newly resident of Reynoldsburg, Ohio. I have been providing in home private childcare for 7 years where I have cared for kids from babies that who've now entered Kindergarten. I retired my services in 2017, as my last preschooler entered kindergarten. I returned to corporate work for a top Insurance company. I found that my happiness was in raising, and caring for children. This is a big part of who I am, and I miss it greatly. I have made the decision to offer my services once again! I have a love and passion for children that is greater than providing insurance. I truly enjoy teaching children and watching them reach their full potential. I am a very patient and gentle person who will take the time to make your child feel loved, and cared for, and give them a safe clean environment to learn and grow. With my availability, all-inclusive rates, and convenient location, I am positive you will find my services beneficial. Call and schedule a visit today, I am very excited to care for your little one. With Love Ms. Tasha Bradley

We are a private childcare with all the benefits of a "Commercial" center. My goal when I started this program was to be able to offer an amazing place families could bring their children and at a reasonable price. I feel with all we offer in education, art, foreign language , field trips, all meals being included we really do have the best childcare rates compared to so many other centers around our area. We keep our teacher to student ratios small. This way we can give each child the education, love, care and attention we feel they deserve. My goal is to have us be an extension of your own family! That's where the difference comes in. I'm also very proud of what we do here in our community! For instance, this past Christmas we had our first toy drive. It was a huge success! We love giving back to our community anyway we can! Every child care center has its own special programs. Here we offer Spanish, sign language, and extra tutoring classes to help bring your child to where they need to be! We believe in going above and beyond just being ready for kindergarten! We are all about education and it starts in our infant room. Infant communication skills play a key role as they develop. We carry this all the way through to our preschool program. We know you have to find the best fit for you and your family and we hope you will find it here with our little family :-) A little about my staff : We have a licensed early education teacher. She also has her degree in childcare administration and teaching degree up to 4th grade. We have a great licensed Preschool teacher. She heads up our preschool prep and preschool program. We also have 2 class leaders for our infant and toddler rooms. One of which has her LPN! So you know your child is in the best care! **** Our current clientele consists of Doctors, RN's, Teachers, Lab 2 Scientists for the state of Ohio, and Law Enforcement. I am very proud that these families trust in us to care for their children. Please contact me today for more information! I'll email you a packet, set up a phone interview and from there we can set up an in person interview with you and your family. We are private pay only at this time.

I am a Type B in home provider and have been operating out of my home for over 6 years now. I am experienced with children of all ages. I am conveniently located close to I-70 by the Amazon Fulfillment Center. I am available between the hours of 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. I provide a safe and clean environment where your child(ren) can grow, play, and learn. Rest assured that your child(ren) will be well taken care of and treated no different than my own while in my care. Ratio is small, no more than 1:6, to ensure one on one personal attention and care, where quality far exceeds quantity. Our playroom is located on the first floor, where most of our activities occur. Our day focuses on an organized routine that allows for well-balanced structure and fun, both inside and outside (weather permitting); free play in the morning to accommodate drop off times and providing breakfast, circle time with craft/worksheet, outside play if possible, lunch, story time, quiet/nap time, the one and only "scheduled" snack time after nap, and free play throughout pickups. I provide preschool age children with a curriculum, involving daily circle time (which covers months/date/year, days of the week, weather, alphabet, shapes, color, and numbers/counting) and craft/worksheet/activity covering a topic on the circle time board, to help prepare them for kindergarten. Our circle time board is rotated weekly to ensure there is routine ample exposure to the material(s) during the week. Rate is based upon state mandated ratio for in home providers, level of care, and offering the childcare tax credit. Rate also includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks (there is no regulated snack schedule, meaning if your child is hungry at any time they will be fed); all food is provided unless there is a specific dietary need. I do ask parents to supply any diapering necessities. My home is smoke free and open to visitation. I have references from both previous and current clients upon request. I am approved through the state, via federal background check, to provide care for children in the foster care system (references available to confirm this as well because background check was sent directly to the agency since it was requested by them). Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks!
