The Director and Staff are amazing and genuinely care about my child and provide her a safe, fun, educational environment to learn in. My daughter, Cambria gets excited to go to school and learn. I've noticed a huge difference in her in the first 3 months of attending. I'd like to keep her at ChildTime and I know they will help her transition and prepare well for Kindergarten. Thank you for open communication and providing education and activities to keep her mind and body sharp. Keep up the great work!

Each of my child’s teachers interacts with her each day, she runs to hug them each day and sometimes does not want to leave. They share funny stories and send me pictures and updates on a regular basis. Leaving your child with someone can be difficult but we’ve been happy with Childtime of OP.
