Welcome to Our School

Welcome to Childtime on 52nd Street SE, a trusted daycare and preschool providing high-quality early childhood education. We are located at 3916 52nd Street SE at the corner of 52nd Street and East Paris. Our convenient Kentwood location proudly serves families throughout the surrounding community.

We offer care and early education for children 6 weeks through 12 years, with programs including Infants, Toddlers, Twos, Early Preschool, Preschool, Pre-K, and Before- and After-School Clubs, as well as Summer Camp. We are also proud to partner with the state of Michigan to offer the Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP), a free, state-funded Pre-K program for eligible four year olds.

Our management team brings over 40 years of combined tenure, offering the consistency and experience families value. All staff members are CPR and First Aid certified, and every lead teacher either holds a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential or is actively completing the program.

We enhance each child’s day with enrichment opportunities such as Yoga, Spanish, Soccer, and Dance. Families also enjoy healthy meal and snack options that encourage children to try new foods and build lifelong healthy habits.

Safety and communication are top priorities. Families stay connected throughout the day with livestreaming video, along with real-time photos, videos, and care updates through our exclusive mobile app, SproutAbout. Parents often share how much they value the strong sense of belonging here, where teachers, children, and families truly feel part of a supportive community.
