"Overall it's been frustrating. A lot of policies changed during the transition and I wasn't happy about a lot of them."
"I am not happy with childtime. They cannot keep staff, there is no consistency for the children. My children are not learning anything and are declining. I have expressed my concerns with the current director and she acted as if she did not care."
"Prior to Childtime taking over there was so much more consistency. I am involved in several different apps for childtime and the most I get from them is watching my own child on the cameras to see if circle time happens or if she’s being watch or if they are going outside"
"So far (its only been about 6 weeks) the experience has been mixed. The 3nd week was better than the first, and 2nd, then the main teacher left my sons room. This did not go over well with my son. After that, not having a consistent teacher was very hard on him. I have not seen many of the staff engaging with the children, any of them. I have not seen much educational activities taking place. I enjoy the items that they have in the rooms with Letters, Numbers, Calendars, etc, but I would like to see more education provided by the rooms teachers and much much more engagement between the staff and the children"
"The teachers overall have been great. I wish the communication would be a little bit better. Whenever I hear “it has to go through corporate” I cringe because I know the issue is going to take a while to resolve. There are definitely flaws with the live stream app. It would also be nice if I didn’t have to have three different avenues for the daycare (brightwheel app, watch me grow app, and then the payment website)."
"It is a dictatorship and zero preparation for the kids for elementary school."
"Very unhappy since new ownership. It’s too corporate and not enough family feeling. Too many unnecessary changes."
"Overall the school is nice. Clean and updated."
