4.5 STARS
Now that we've been here almost a year and a half, I wanted to leave a fair and honest review of Kids Time in hopes that it will help other new moms feel comfortable about their daycare choice.
THINGS I LOVE:
*The tuition is surprisingly low compared to other daycare centers in the area! Discounts are offered for multiple kids and for paying in advance.
*The rooms are large and toys are plentiful. I toured other centers where classrooms were shared and noisy, but Kids Time has place for kids to grow and play and be kids!
*The center is CLEAN and they do a great job of cleaning extra if a kid calls in sick with an infectious disease. Their sick policy is fair and since it is enforced 100%, it cuts down on how much it spreads.
*The teachers!
Ms Rebecca in the infant room is a Godsend. My little girl started at 8 weeks old and I never once had to worry. I knew after meeting her that she would be well cared for and well loved at all times. She taught me a lot about being a new mom with honest advice and compassion. She is the daycare's biggest blessing
Ms Kim in the next room has so much experience and Melody has such great energy that I couldn't have picked better teachers to help my little girl learn to walk and eat table food. She thrived in their classroom and they were the best at parent communication.
Ms Lorah with the older 1s is so kind. After only a week in her class my little girl was doing hand motions to new songs and able to point to her nose, eyes, ears, and mouth. I'm appreciative that Ms Lorah starts teaching with substance and always tells me something interesting about my little girl's day.
Ms Carol is the supervisor and the glue that holds this place together. She is tough and sweet and the kids (and parents) all respect her.
THINGS THEY CAN IMPROVE ON
*Snacks like honeybuns, poptarts and cheeseballs are not my favorite. I'd rather fruit, crackers, animal crackers, yogurt etc. However, lunch is amazing.
*Would like more official communication from the center like a monthly newsletter or emailed alerts when any big announcements are made. Also would like more details about changes to expect when kids move to the next room, like now sleeping on a mat instead of a crib and no more sippy cup, etc.
*Would like the ability to pay online.
*TV is on during drop offs and pick ups. I don't mind because it was off the rest of the day and it made pick ups easier but I wanted to mention it.
Overall, we couldn't have made a better choice for our little girl and I've enjoyed watching her grow alongside her amazing teachers at Kids Time. If you're a new mom like I was or new to the area, I hope this has given you enough information to be able to make your decision.
Kids Time is a great place that takes good care of your children. I read one of the reviews here, and I 100% disagree with the comments made. My children grew up at this place and enjoy the atmosphere, facility, and most importantly the qualified teachers there. They genuinely care about your children there and that means a lot.
Google some of the reviews made by others here that have made negative comments about this daycare and you will discover that they are never happy about anyone, any business, etc. and are probably unhappy with who they are as a person.
Remember the things someone says about others ultimately is a reflection of who they are as a person. My advice would be to go visit this place and see for yourself. Thanks.....
They have very large and spacious rooms and with lots of toys. Daily sheets are sent home to any parent that wants to recieve them, I happen to not want them. The TV is rarely on (usually during tracnsition time in the early morning and late afternoon) and the staff is very friendly.
