Welcome to our Childtime in Jacksonville FL. My name is Samantha Hooper and I am the director here at our Mandarin location. I have a Child Development Associates Degree, Director's Credential and more than 15 years of experience in early childhood education.
At Childtime we pride ourselves on the health and safety of the families in our care which is why during this time of COVID crisis we have increased safety measures by requiring all adults entering the building to wear a mask and wash hands upon entering and doing temperature checks on EVERYONE entering the building.
We are really excited to announce our WatchMeGrow program which enable parents to have access to our live streaming cameras.
We are proud of our Prep Lab program which partners us with families for Virtual learning. Please stop by so we can chat with you more about our amazing programs.
Our Infant, Toddler, Twos, Early Preschool, Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten programs provide the perfect foundation for learning and development. We currently serve families in the Mandarin and Bartram Park areas. Our Before-and After-School care for school-Agers currently serves Mandarin Oaks Elementary and Crown Point Elementary.
Childtime's lead teachers hold a Child Development Associate credential or higher degree. All staff maintains CPR and first aid certificates and they attend monthly training sessions to stay up-to-date on the best practices for our children. Combined, the staff has more than 140 years of experience in early childhood education.
