"Overall, I was very impressed with the school & level of care offered."
"For the paid activities need more communication. I don’t even know what week we are on and if the classes are running."
"My experience with this school has been pleasant, the teachers seem attentive and the children seem happy."
"Ms. Tamika and Ms. Winter in infant B are wonderful and caring."
"The school was excellent until this year. The firing of Ms. Keesha was a colossal mistake. Plus, the putting kids with behavioral problems in the pre-K class was unfair to the teachers and the kids that belong there. The teachers were great, and so was Ms. Keesha. Recent management decisions have been horrible."
"With Bethanie and LaKesha wonderful. Can’t say enough good things. Over the last month I don’t know. Having Bethanie there has helped and it needs to continue to get it on track. And to whoever is answering the phone. ... Shannon? Not happy with her."

"Really like all the senior staff"
"Excellent until Ms. Lakesha was fired."
"Up until a week ago I loved this school. I loved the teachers, the new assistant director, the pre-K teacher ms maragaret and most of all the director who has been there 5-6 year Ms LaKesha. She was a teacher when my child started and worked her way to director and has done a fantastic job. She is very responsive, cares about the kids and teachers, tried to add new activities that the kids were thrilled about this year, helped facilitate parent teacher interaction and appreciation. Then out of the blue the director that we know and love is gone. The regional manager is no longer Mary but Joan. Joan came into the school days prior to interview teachers and badger them into saying someone they wished LaKesha would improve. Then appeared again and fired LaKesha. What type of a manager does this? She received hearsay, didn’t validate facts and then she fired the Director when the assistant Director wasn’t in the building. Fire Joan!!! Bring LaKesha back. A good manager coaches!"
"It was a great experience for us. We are leaving Childtime only because my child is turning 5 and will start Kindergarten in this year. I have no complaints about this school."
"We had wonderful, caring, teachers who engaged our child and looked for opportunities to expand on her own interests in the first two class rooms she was in, but as we got into early preschool there has been much too much of an emphasis on early academics and wrote direction following. I expected more play time to work on social and emotional development and engagement from teachers to ask questions and draw out learning from children’s natural interests."
"We have really enjoyed the school. They have made us feel welcome and the teachers seem to really care about the children. My child is happy to go to school every day, which makes me feel confident about my decision to send her to daycare."
"School is amazing, the staff is nice, very helpful and involved with the children and the communication is honest and clear. Very satisfied"
"Child Time is a great facility. The Director is warm and professional. She cares about my son, and always welcomes feedback. My Son's teacher is wonderful. She is a true professional, and my husband and I have come to truly value her. I would recommend the Hopkins Plaza site to any parent looking for a safe, friendly learning environment for their children."
"We've had a very good experience at the school. Teachers are loving and genuinely seem to care for my child. They interact very well with the children. I've had a few frustrations over the years regarding communication- when I had a concern my child's primary teacher brushed it aside as just how it goes, necessitating a visit with the school director. Overall though, even the teacher who seemed to feel that I was overreacting is loving, caring, and is great with my child. I've found all the teachers to be this way."
"This is a good preschool, safe, efficient and clean. I hope it can do better in the future."
