Jolly Tots School

Jolly Tots School was the first state licensed child care facility in all of Bucks County.
Considered by parents as the “best kept secret in Bucks County”, Jolly Tots Daycare has been privately owned and operated by its founder, Marie L.
Thompson for the past 50 years. Through the years Jolly Tots has received numerous accolades and awards for providing outstanding care to the children of Bucks County.
Our graduates number in the thousands. It has been said that if you spend a short amount of time in Bucks County you have crossed paths with a Jolly Tot graduate.
Our graduates children have attended and graduated Jolly Tots and we eagerly anticipate our first third generation Jolly Tots graduate.
Over the years Jolly Tots has grown to include two separate age appropriate buildings in one location.
The sole purpose of the daycare, which caters to children from the ages of 1 to kindergarten, is the teaching and caring of young children and preparing them for the education they will meet in future years.
The atmosphere of this one of a kind daycare, located at 615 Belmont/Hampton Ave Southampton Pa, is truly magical.
