Parent Reviews
Incredibly positive. It seems like our daughter, after only one week, is comfortable going here based on her demeanor during drop-off and pick-up. The atmosphere is so inviting and the facilities seem incredibly clean which we greatly appreciate. The proactive communication is excellent-from greetings upon entering to pictures throughout the day, along with the daily reports...all of which are top notch. Thank you!
We love this school because of the staff! From the director to the teacher we always feel welcome and loved. It shows that they truly care about my child and others.
via childtime.comWe have had a great experience so far and love our infant room teachers as well as the admin staff!
via childtime.comWe have had an amazing transition to Childtime. My son is thriving in his new environment. He is happy to go to school in the mornings and excited to see his friends. He comes home singing songs he has learned. He has picked up so so much language in the past few months. We are so happy with our decision to use Childtime to care for our child.
