The teachers here are incredible and are the reason we send our kids here. Many of them have been with Children First for many many years, which is unheard of in their industry. Tiffany(director) has built and maintained such a beautiful place. Hopefully Sweet Kiddles leaves the teachers and everything from Children First in place, because that is what makes this place so special.

From the first day, we felt welcomed and knew our child was being cared for. Our oldest is now 2 and new baby has just started in the infant room. The staff is very friendly and the Director Tiffany has invaluable experience from over 30 years in the childcare industry!

I was so nervous sending my daughter to daycare. She had been with me every day since she was born until she was 18 months old. However, Sweet Kiddles has completely removed that fear. Their director and assistant director, Tiffany and Mariah, have made my daughter and I feel so welcomed. My daughter really struggled with adjusting, and they worked with her to make sure she felt safe, happy, and just took the extra time to make her feel comfortable. My daughter now loves going to “school”. Her teachers, Amanda, Chris, and Gigi always make her smile and feel so welcomed. My daughter is always learning, staying busy, and playing outside. Their app is easy to use with scheduling and communicating with staff. I also love that I get daily updates and photos on how my daughter is doing while in their care. Hands down this place is the best childcare center, and I don’t regret my decision to send my daughter here for a second. Thank you, Sweet Kiddles!

Tiffany is an experienced, caring person who prioritizes the kids and her staff, which benefits the kids. The staff is knowledgeable and and really cares. It helps that many of the teachers have been there for long periods of time, so there is less concern with turnover which, again, creates consistency and reliability for the children. It's a great place.
Tiffany and her team of experienced educators at Sweet Kiddles - Columbus Downtown create the ideal atmosphere for learning, fun, and growth for our children. Many of the teachers have been caring for children in this building for over 25 years and, as a result, the quality of care is beyond compare in the world of childcare. Could not recommend this location more!
