Parents highlight excellent staff, strong academic programs, clean facilities, and effective communication as key strengths.

Our little one attended from 2 - 4.5 and transitioned through 3 different classrooms. Every room / teacher was a great experience and helped tremendously with his age level development. As a result he is ahead of the curve in his kinder years. The staff is communicative, uses technology and is a tremendous resource for the community. The investment into our little one’s development has been well worth it! Thanks ChildTime
A lot of these reviews look old, but our son (toddler) has been here for almost a year and he loves it! The teachers are nice and really care about the kids. The app is very helpful for communication and popping in to check on your child throughout the day. School leadership is on top of it. No complaints, so far. Thank you to the entire team!
My daughter has been going here since she was 10 weeks old and is now 3. She loves her class and has so many friends that she has been with since they were babies. Her teachers at every stage have showed her so much love but also work hard to help her learn so many things from academics to basic socialization. I can’t wait to continue to watch her grow here
Unfortunately we had a bad experience with childtime. Our daughter entered the twos late Feb with teacher Miss Judy. Miss Judy immediately did not take a great liking to our daughter because she was having difficulty adjusting. As time went on Miss. Judy grew more frustrated and impatient with our daughter which led to her writing incidents reports when our 2 years didn't take her bedding off. When we tried to work with Miss Judy she yelled at us on several occasions. We called a meeting with the director Nikole and she did NOTHING to assist the situation. Things grew worse when we starting watching the cameras and notice signs that our daughter was being neglected. They would leave our daughter on her bed and not allow her to eat her snack if she didn't take her bedding off. Several times they left our 2 year old to cry on the floor over an hour with no intervening. No efforts were EVER made to try new approaches to help our girl adjust. She was sick for 3 months had 5 trips to docs because they DO NOT PROPERLY CLEAN! We have left our first experience with childcare heartbroken and traumatized from the way we were treated by the staff at childtime. I expressed concern to Nikole that the lack of patience Miss Judy has and her temper when upset is concerning not to mention withholding food from a baby. She did not care.We have left this school and with a 2 year old who is traumatized NOT A SAFE Environment DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE.
I have to say, this school is top notch. When my wife and I toured the different preschools & private kindergartens in town, none held a candle to Childtime. For starters, the school is always clean, even at the end of the day before the janitors come, it is clean. We have gone there for well over a year now, and I can easily say it is always organized & clean. Secondly, Ms. Janice runs a very tight ship, which I definitely appreciate, and keeps an awesome, well-qualified staff. Ms. Nikole is super friendly and always so helpful with any request or needs we have for our daughter. The teachers, Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Crystal, & Mr. Nick, are amazing, they truly care about the kids & develop a relationship with them. Our daughter blows us away randomly at home, and it's with things she has learned from her teachers and the staff at Childtime. She raves about her food made by their "on-site chef" Ms. Silvia, who my 5 year old says "hooks her up". The education, level of care, and attention to your child's needs are top notch. The staff here is more than accommodating, and very friendly. My daughter is always excited for Mondays, to go see her friends & teachers. Thank you to everyone at Childtime, for continually challenging & providing my daughter with a fantastic education. I can't thank you all enough
