Welcome to Childtime educational learning center in Kentwood, MI. We offer programs for Infants through School-Age students and our educational philosophy is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. In this philosophy, the basis of all learning is secure relationships formed between children and responsive, respectful adults. Through these relationships, children develop a capacity for trust, competence, and the independence to grow academically and socially.
Education is not a one size fits all experience. All children have different needs and abilities. They learn in their own way and at their own pace - so we have designed our School Readiness Pathway to provide educational options and choices for every age and developmental stage.
During this time, we have stepped up our health and safety practices with enhanced cleaning procedures, staff wearing masks, and keeping visitors and parents to common areas. Additionally, we will be launching WatchMeGrow, a technology where parents can live stream into their child's classroom from any device. Also, for school-age students, we have the Prep Lab, which will help support elementary students with distance learning in light what the local school districts decide to do with schedules this upcoming school year.
