"I was not thrilled when my 5 month old was sharing a classroom with children who were mobile (walking) when she first started attending. She ended up getting bitten on the inner thigh. I considered moving her out because of the consolidation of the rooms. I was much more at ease when they moved her to an infant classroom with babies her size. However, the consolidation of classrooms varies day to day."
"I was thoroughly impressed with Claudia Vernoia and Dawn Pomerantz sincerity, years working with Childtime, efficiency, knowledge of early childhood education and development and their commitment to both of my children's excellence. I trusted them 5 years ago with my son and for the past 2 years with my daughter and the have NEVER disappointed me. In fact, they have only gone above and beyond my already very high expectations for my children. Not to mention through the challenges presented by the pandemic. My 2 year old daughter is learning more with Ms. Mabel and Ms. Nevein in Childtime than my 4 year old son is learning in Pre K 4 public school. She counts in Spanish, excels in her communication skills and knows all of her letters and numbers. Ms. Mabel is an incredible educator and human being."
"The staff has been great, the facilities have been clean and I feel my daughter is safe, cared for and learning a lot. I truly appreciate everyone there!"
"I love the school, it's clean, teachers/staff are very nice, curriculum seems to be on point for their age."
"I have been so happy with CHILDTIME. Choosing a daycare for my toddler was not something I took lightly, and they made the whole process very seamless and as easy. I am very impressed with the security and the communication that they provide as well as the curriculum. The teachers are also so warm and comforting and have been fantastic with welcoming my son during this challenging transition in his little life. They truly care for him and you can't ask for much more than that! Also I love that lunch/diapers are included! They have also handled the current health concerns so well and professionally. Very happy with our experience thus far. Thank you, CHILDLTIME!"
"Outstanding! Love the staff, the brightwheel app and access to live video! Thank you Ms. Claudia, Ms. Dawn, Ms. Bonnie, Ms. Sissy, Ms. Mabel and Ms. Naviem! My child is happier, smarter and more social, thanks to Childtime!"
"Childtime Somerset has been a blessing for our family! We were apprehensive sending our daughter to daycare, but Claudia and her staff made us feel comfortable from the beginning. My daughter took a few days to get used to going to “school”, but now she really loves it. I would highly recommend Childtime. We hope to keep her in the daycare program through preschool."
"The infant classroom has been wonderful, along with the staff we’ve met at drop off/pick up. Everyone is very responsive and respectful. Ms Jonhas done a wonderful job with our daughter, getting her accustomed to the daily routine of school. Our daughter is happy every day to go to school and has shown great development since attending. The communication through the app is great and the cameras offer a sense of ease for us."
"This school is taking a good care of my son! Thank you for your help! Appreciated!"
"Childtime Somerset where my niece went, then my first child, now my second child. And a lot of friends whose kids come in here. Used to have a lot of teachers. Used to be open longer hours 6:30am to 6:30pm. More fun just before covid pandemic came. But now, seems less fun. We love childtime. But they need more staffs/teachers."
"Putting my daughter in daycare was a very hard decision for our family. The daycare came highly recommended from close friends who have had their children in the infant room with Ms. Joe, which made it easier for us to decide on enrolling her here. The daily communication and care the staff shows to myself and my daughter has exceeded our expectations. The classroom is well organized, the toys are cleaned throughout the day, feedings happen on a regular schedule and all activities are promptly recorded in the app. The cameras have provided me with a sense of ease during this transition of handing my daughter to someone other than family. We have been extremely happy with the daycare, the support, and overall care that is provided to our daughter. Thank you all so very much!!"
"They always keepMe informed as to what my grandson is doing. He has some behavior"
"The director, Claudia, can be snotty at times. If I transfer my child to another school it will be because of her attitude."
"Overcrowded classrooms, roaches, ants, rude staff, teachers don’t pay attention to the kids because there are too many in one room. My son got hold of scissors and cut his hair while 2 teachers were in the classroom. Shady front desk staff that pay more attention to gossiping than the safety of the children. On more than one occasion i found the front door propped open with a box or the carpet. The door leading to our babies! The assistant teachers are not properly screened and they change often because they don’t last. They had an assistant teacher once that was a junkie...nodding out while left alone with the kids! The kids run wild all day, hardly any teaching goes on. Complaining to staff did nothing. Save your money and keep you kid safe by not sending them to this dive! "
"This school is absolutely amazing! My son attended here for 5 years and we were so comfortable sending our daughter here after his very positive experience."
