We've been very happy with Childtime of Kentwood. Every morning our son is happily greeted/welcomed by several teachers, I get updates constantly through the app so I always know what's going on, and when I pick up he is always having fun and all the teachers give him a warm goodbye. He is learning so much everyday and I love that environment is clean, safe, and the teachers really care.
