Parent Testimonials

“Having been given an opportunity to share a story about such a wonderful environment for our kids to be a part of is such a great time for us to just do so. This daycare and all of its staff is such a Godsend for our children to be taking part in this wonderful place and all of its programs offered here for them to be in. Thank you for allowing us to bring our kids here and also for taking such good care of our precious little ones!”

– Nancy

“We are so happy we found Kids & Giggles.  I literally googled day cares in Wooster because I was working in Wooster but lived in Ashland.  From the minute they answered the phone, to the interview provess, and the first day we were treated with respect, kindness, and support.  Every other place I called was rude, snippy, or told me they were full.  Kids & Giggles even takes our 7 year old son when he doesn’t have school.  Eleanor is lactose intolerant and they are so good about giving her the milk I bring in and dealing with all of the things that come with it.  AMAZING! I would recommend Kids & Giggles again & again!”

– Chris & Erin Thompson

“We have nothing but good things to say about Kids & Giggles. Both of my kids love going there. The teachers take great care of the kids. They are sweet but also tough when they need to be. Mary Jane is awesome and is my oldest sons princess. As a parent, you feel really good when your kids love their teachers because it shows the excelllent job they do!”
