Welcome to Our School
Welcome to our recently remodeled Childtime in Chesterfield, VA! My name is Melissa and I am the school's director. I have worked in the field of early childhood education for the last 14 years.
We offer Infant Care, Preschool and other early education programs, and we service the following schools: Salem Elementary School, Ecoff Elementary School, O.B. Gates Elementary School, Beulah Elementary School, and Salem Middle School.
The children at our center are attending a NECPA-accredited program that is safe, secure and full of engaged learners. Our facility also offers a passcode secured entrance, which is only accessible by staff and enrolled families.
We are excited to offer new technology in our School-Age classroom. Enhancements include iPads featuring apps to create art, music and videos, tripods for moviemaking, robots for coding, a new gaming system and a secure WiFi network for homework.
Communication is important to us and we work hard to ensure that our families have opportunities to meet with one another as well as with their child's caregivers. Our highly-educated staff is dedicated to giving your children the care and support they need. Combined, they have over 50 years of experience!
I invite you to schedule a tour of our Childtime educational daycare in Chesterfield, VA to see what we can offer your family! We look forward to meeting you.
