I wasn't planning on leaving a review because I wanted to move on after the experience my son had at this daycare a couple of years ago. However, I feel other parents deserve to know why we decided to remove him. Our experience was extremely disappointing. On multiple occasions, my son was constantly getting injured and one time he had a bump on his head. When I asked the staff about what had happened, no one was able to give me an explanation or seemed to know how the injuries occurred. There was only two teachers for what looked like 20 2-3 year olds. I also had concerns about the communication regarding his meals. The daycare app frequently showed that he had eaten all of his food, yet he was consistently starving when I picked him up. I eventually started packing extra food because he was always so hungry. On one occasion, a staff member told me he hadn't eaten his lunch, even though the app had been marked that he had eaten it, which made me question the accuracy of the information being provided. Another concern was the cameras. They often seemed to be unavailable or not working when I wanted to check in. On one occasion when I was able to access the camera, I saw my son sitting alone in a corner crying, and no one appeared to be comforting or attending to him. As a parent, that was heartbreaking to see. Every parent's experience may be different, but based on what my family went through, I could no longer trust that my son was receiving the care and supervision he deserved. Removing him from this daycare was one of the best decisions we made. read more

My baby Marianne has been attending their infant room since she was 2 1/2 months old she's 4 months now and she has grown so much and seems to love it here. Mr. Jaime the lead teacher in the infant room.. hands down the best. Thank you so much for caring and loving my baby as if she was your own. Ms. Meylin is also wonderful my husband and I absolutely love when these two teachers are in class watching our daughter. read more

I was super hesitant to start my son in any kind of childcare, but Childtime has been a God send! He has attended since he was 2 and he absolutely loves it! The teachers are amazing and provide a fun, play-based learning environment. Despite the fact that I can look at him on the cameras at all times, I find myself not needing to look because I fully trust him in their care! They are so patient and amazing! I highly recommend this to any working parents who want peace of mind to return to work! read more

Awesome Service, quality care, and valuable resources all around. I'm so thankful for the heart of the company, Ms. Abby and her team have provided the best care and assistance. I am a single mom and cannot wrap my head around how amazing this group is! All from the front desk to the very backbone and heart of the caretakers have been so kind and so amazing. Truly the BEST! Reina and I are forever grateful for the teamwork and essential mission of all that you do for us. Thank you and happy holidays read more

I don't even know how to begin to write this review- I am SO amazed by this place. Every single teacher is kind, caring and dedicated. They all greet every child with so much love and they have SO much fun with the kids. One of my favorite aspects about this place is that they share pictures of our child through their app which is a protected portal- and they update you through the day with pictures and videos of them learning, growing and having fun! They also update all diaper changes, what they eat and drink. And with all of this work that they do- they do it with the BIGGEST smiles on their face. Another thing is the curriculum they have! They don't just watch the kids- they love them, play with them, care for them, nurture them- and they TEACH them all the things!!! They are up to date on all things education and make sure that our kids receive that here as well. My daughter is learning so much and coming home doing all the things she learned and we are IN LOVE WITH ALL OF IT. She is SO smart, and this place is nurturing that and growing it!! I want to ESPECIALLY thank the director- ABBEY!!!! She is THEEEEEEEE BEST! Oh my gosh!!! I love her so much. She doesn't just run this place, she is ACTIVE with the kids, talks with them, CARES for them, looks after the teachers and has relationships with them- and she has conversations with the parents and actively involves us... you can tell SHE LOVES HER JOB, she LOVES these kids, she cares about the parents, and she LOVES THIS PLACE. Thank the GOOD LORD for such an amazing place for our kids. I cannot rave enough. My daughter loves going here and she has grown SO much since being here. I am seriously just blown away. My husband and I are so so so grateful for this amazing place. Thank you CHILDTIME TEMECULA- we LOVE you all SO MUCH!!!! Thank you for EVERYTHING YOU DO!!!! And thank you for loving our girl!!! She is obsessed with all of you! read more

Where do I start? I intentionally gave it time after leaving Childtime and enrolling my child in another daycare before writing this review. I wanted to see if perhaps all preschools functioned the same way, since this was our first preschool experience. I can now confidently say: they do not. Childtime falls short in many areas--most importantly in academics, but also in communication, engagement, and staffing ratios. Any time concerns were raised, the response was a blank stare, as if they had no idea what to do. They've truly perfected the "deer in headlights" look. They were consistently understaffed, and my child came home dirty every single day. During his time there, I never received a single piece of writing, learning material, or even holiday artwork aside from one thing for Easter. By comparison, since joining his new preschool, he has excelled academically, gained confidence, and comes home with work that shows what he's learning. The difference is night and day. To be fair, the only teacher at Childtime who was worth a damn was Miss Joni--she genuinely cared. Unfortunately, she was the exception, not the rule. At his new school, the staff are kind, personable, and responsible. They greet parents warmly, communicate directly, and follow through on what they say. Childtime rarely greeted us, and when they did, it felt reluctant. And to top it off, my child is no longer coming home filthy, as if he had been parked in front of a mud pile all day. Childtime missed the mark in every meaningful way, while our new preschool has shown me what a quality early education environment should look like. read more

I wanted to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation for Childtime of Temecula. Childtime has been a true blessing to our family for many years, providing a safe and nurturing environment for my children to learn and grow. I am especially grateful for the educational programs and activities, which have helped develop important skills and knowledge. The staff is always so welcoming and caring, and we feel confident leaving our children in their capable hands. The Director's commitment to excellence is evident in everything that she does. Thank you Childtime for everything you do to support our family and help my children thrive. We are truly grateful to have such a safe, caring and supportive learning center. read more

We highly recommend this Childtime location. We have had our boy here since he was 2 YO. He is now 9 YO and still looks forward to going to Childtime every day. The staff is very professional, responsible and takes very family, embracing them and making them feel like one of their own. That has been our feeling for the past years. They are always there to help and ensure your child exceeds their personal, social and educational goals. We have been very blessed to have them as part of our lives. read more

Most terrible childcare we have ever enrolled our child to. Some of the teachers are abusive - yelling, threats, time-outs are a daily norm. My child was heavily bullied for weeks nd none of the teachers interfered. He was hit in the genitals and called names, was hit and called names. Nothing happened from the teachers' sides. We had to report them. My child still suffers from the trauma of bullying and the teacher's scare tactics and threats. On the live cam I observed my child sitting on the floor crying for at least 10 minutes and no one reacted until I called them. I walked in once and my child was crying and a kid kept ripping things out of his hands. The teacher was sitting on a table next to them and did nothing until I confronted her. She shrugged it off like "he like to cry". The food is terrible and portions are so small that my kid was usually hungry. I had to pack extra food for him just to make sure he has extra food with him. It reminded me of food they serve in jail on the same foam plates. Snack almost ALWAYS consist of ice cream, muffins, cupcakes, sugary crackers or just some gold fish. No one in there was ever loving or caring about any of the children. The teachers have a very very small education and don't know how to manage the classroom properly. Some kids are out of control and jump on and off the tables (no, I am not joking). No music enrichment except for music played from the radio. Arts & Crafts are basic and nothing that helps kids develop new skills. Heavily focused on academics like writing etc. ZERO parent events. Zero Community, zero care. Here and there a fake 'Hey' towards a kid that arrives or a parent. That's all. No reports on children's development and progress. HIGH turnover of staff. People came and went every month. Most of the time we didn't even know the person who was with the kids. Never were we informed about any changes regarding the staff. Generally we weren't informed of anything. There is NO communication from the director. Zero. She doesn't do anything but sit in her office and chat with the coworkers. Go see for yourself. No updated calendar - not online or anywhere. No updates on anything. No answers to my messages ever. The place is definitely under staffed and I am not surprised, because this place is a nuthouse. Often my kid wasn't even in his classroom because they constantly have to combine them in other classrooms due to teacher shortages. You go in a try to find your child somewhere inside the building. Absolutely no consistency, no communication, no enrichment. Garbage. We heavily regret to have enrolled our kid at this horrible place. read more

Just don't bring your child here. My nephew was dropped multiple times without any repercussions and the staff member is still employed.

Best in Temecula!! If you are looking for a place for your child, this is the place to go!! From top to bottom, all of the employees truly care about the well-being and development of the children they have!! It is a special place, And I consider myself lucky that my son has been able to be a part of Childtime for over three years now. They provide so much more than any other location from before and after school care, meals, educational learning, there's so much for your child at any age. They will send your child up perfectly for school when it's time! read more

ChildTime is one of the best in town. They value and respect my children & their needs. Mrs. Yvette goes above and beyond for both my kids, and if there is ever a problem they address it with me. The center is clean and my children are always happy to be there. The staff is amazing & always so nice. They're like our second family. read more

My wife is a stickler for being well informed on a lot of different levels, but when it comes to our child she wants minute but minute when she is not present. When it came down to choosing a place that could adhere to our demands I trusted my wife to make the best decision for our family and let me tell you what we couldn't be happier. We can hop on a app at anytime and peek in on what our little man is doing paired with up to date potty, nap, food, and even activities! Every single staff member is an absolute joy to deal with and Abby (the director of operations) is just as amazing whilst running a tight well oiled ship. Prices are very fair considering they supply anything baby needs while in their presence. They are truly part of our family. Love you all. read more

We moved here and we're nervous about Putting our kids in daycare again, bad experience before. But the director and assistant director are so sweet, honest, friendly and communicate great. We could not be happier, I had to chance to move her a bit closer to the house but we love my daughters teachers, and what would we do without Miss Abby and Mr. James?! Nothing like peace of mind and a happy kid! We have been here for over a year and love it read more

My child has always had a wonderful time. They are very good with kids. My older used to go as well, and always wanted to stay longer.

Child time of Temecula and the staff have exceeded every expectation I had for a pre school for my son- and then some! When I drop my son off in the morning I rest easy during the day knowing he is safe and sound. This facility is super clean. The curriculum has made a tremendous impact on my son. He LOVES his teachers and every morning they greet him with hugs and a big hello. The educators and director are the secret ingredient and you won't find them anywhere but here. You can have a perfect building with all the bells and whistles but it's nothing without the hard work of the people inside. I am grateful and would HIGHLY recommend Child time of Temecula to other parents. read more

My son went to this school for couple weeks. It was my son's first school. He was 2 at the time. The teacher had 12 to 13 kids at the drop off on most days and didn't have much time to spend with my son. We felt that the teachers are over worked and they had too many students for 2 year old class. I had the impression that it was more about money not about kids. I'm not sure why it doesn't have bad review but I have 2 older kids and been through different schools but this was by far the worst experience that we had. It may have been bad timing or short staff but I felt bad for my son and other kids constantly crying when I see them at school. It just didn't seem like a happy fun place for kids at the time. And my son moved to new school which usually had only 6 kids per teacher and he was so happy to go to school!!! read more

We had our two boys (3 and 6 years old) in Childtime for about 1.5 years until we recently moved away. Abby Lewis is an AMAZING director. She cares so much, knows all of the kids, and runs a tight ship. The teachers are also great. I always felt confident leaving my boys at Childtime. I was sad to have them move on. I highly recommend Childtime! read more

We love our director, Abby, and all our lovely teachers at Childtime. Not only do we trust that our kids are safe and well taught, but our kids love their teachers. They offer parents' night out, summer camps, and provide fun activities for the kids. They partner with companies that allow my 4 year old to have dance and sports lessons during the day on-site, which is convenient! They truly care about the kids, and it shows. read more

My son has been attending ChildTime for almost a year now and we've been grateful for such friendly and caring staff.

I love this daycare the teacher show amazing care for the kids. I have two little girls and thankfully I can go to work as a dual military worker and never have to worry about my kids being at harms away. They are truly like another family to us. Thank you so much for always being of help! read more

Child time is one of the best day cares in Temecula. My child has been going to the school since she was 2 months and now she is 2 years old. All the teachers is caring and dependable. The director Abby is the best! She is super nice and she makes the kids feel loved. I can depend on her! I know when I go to work my child is in good hands! I value this day care 100%. I plan on having my daughter go to child time until she ages out. She loves going there and she always makes a lot of friends! Thank you to all the teachers and the director! Keep up the good work and I'm so grateful for all the love and hard-work you guys do for my daughter! I call you guys my second family! Love y'all read more

I would like to tell you a story about my history with Child time on Nicolas Road. First of all, I want to say I toured many day care centers in San Diego as well as Temecula and Murrieta. When I toured this daycare center, I just felt at peace. I felt this was a place I could leave my baby and know she would be safe and well cared for. There was only one problem. I work in San Diego. I would have to leave by 5:30am every morning in order to work on time. This daycare did not open until 6:30. So, guess what I decided to do because I liked this daycare so much? I decided to look around for another school in my district that did not start until close to 9:00am giving me time to get my baby girl to this wonderful daycare. It all worked out for me. I was able to get with a later start. I was able to place my child at a daycare center that was perfect for our family, this Child time. However, the long commute to San Diego from Temecula took a toll and we ended up having to move. After a year at a San Diego Day Care, we decided to move back towards Temecula again. To make a long story shorter. We ended up moving to Fallbrook making my commute more doable than when we were living in Murrieta. We also decided to move our precious girl back to Child time. She has been very happy there and so have we. All we want as parents is to have our precious girl be in an environment where she is well cared for. We know we can breathe a sigh of relief when we are at work knowing she is safe and happy. The entire staff is wonderful. I spoke with Ms. Abbey and Ms. Heidi mostly. I also spoke to Ms. Deanne when she was there. I appreciate how they took the time to speak to me and my husband. They all have great people skills. It's important when you work with families. I also like that they keep the place really clean. I like that they have a camera in every room so the directors can keep an eye on the children. I also appreciate the teachers Ms. Nicole and Ms. Jacqueline. I also love how I don't have to pack her my daughter food. I love this daycare. I can't say enough good things about it. read more

I was so anxious putting my 6month old into daycare, I toured ChildTime and Abby made us feel right at home. The infant room is very clean and everyone has to wear shoe protectors (which I love). Building wide the staff knows my daughters name and is ALWAYS greeted by her name and a smile and my daughter just grins ear to ear! Drop off has never been emotional. She is extremely happy which makes me at ease. I was hoping this review could help another mama going through the same process :) thank you ChildTime read more

I have been taking my child to this daycare for 4years. I love and respect every staff member. My child feels safe and happy at Childtime. They have so much heart and care for the children. My child loves her teachers and her friends. My child has learned so much at Childtime. The staff always sends me pictures of her daily activities, and keeps an open communication with me. I couldn't ask for more. They are absolutely amazing!! read more

I really wanted to like this school and there were many reasons to- clean classrooms, status updates thru the brigtwheel app , easy online payments. My son however, hated going there and would cry as I would get into the driveway. Ive wondered why as everything seemed nice. As Ive interacted more and more with his teacher, Ive come to realized why. His teacher, Miss Stephanie, my son was in the toddler room, never once smiled and when she did it seemed fake. I got the sense that she didnt enjoy being there. Ms Stephanie would never greet me good morning and when it would be time to pick up my child, and would ask how my child day went she would just mumble answers. It was like she didnt care about the kids. My child is in a different pre school now and is thriving. His teachers are just so much friendlier and seemed to care so much. Im so happy I made the decision to pull him out to a school with mich nicer teachers. read more

We had our son at Childtime for almost a year he loves his teachers and is learning so much!! All the teachers are very kind and loving!!! After having had several bad experiences with Childcare in the past, we love and appreciate this preschool, the teachers and staff we couldn't be happier A+ Thank You! read more

Hey Leah, if you don't know much about the place then you shouldn't be rating it. I had two of my children here for a year and it has been the best experience. You feel very secure dropping your child off here and everybody is super friendly. HIIIIGHLY Recommend!!! A+ + + read more

Childtime is a great place to take your kids, it's a home away from home. They treat your children with so much love and respect. My son has been going there since he was 2.5. We will definitely use them when we return to the states read more

Love the staff and teachers, my boys are so well taken care of I love getting updates and pictures of what they do throughout the day , I feel like im dropping off my boys at their second home here. Each and every teacher is warm, caring and like a second mom to each kid thank you child time now we will be sending the boys to school with so much extra knowledge! read more

If your child hits any of the developmental milestones on the ASQ's (turning lights on and off, opening and closing doors, climbing on furniture) they will not accept your child. My son was asked not to come back after 4 hours because on his first day he kept opening the door trying to leave. Although the teachers said he had a great day, the director told me that they aren't staffed to give a child individual attention. She told me we could try again when he was ready to be in daycare environment (as a military family my child has ALWAYS been in daycare from the age of 3 mos) but was not ready at the time. Seriously? That was the assessment after half a day? I'm glad he got kicked out because I actually found a way better facility. And you know what they said on his first day? That he had a great day but kept trying to open doors, but it was normal. And the first day was the only day he tried to leave. So unless you have an infant that just lays there, have a back up plan since they obviously aren't used to children with a pulse. Or better yet, just enroll them elsewhere. read more

My family loved Childtime! All of the teachers were so nice and seemed to genuinely care about my daughter. They were always so excited to see my daughter every morning, and my daughter was happy to see them. The director and assistant director were always friendly and very accommodating. On my daughter's last day at Childtime most of her teachers cried, and they all gave her hugs and kisses when we left. We moved out-of-state, and I am having a horrible time finding childcare because none of them seem to be able to compare to the AMAZING experience we had at Childtime. read more

My daughter has been enrolled for 10 months. Her teachers are kind. The staff has been flexible with schedule changes. Everyday is a learning day for her. They sing, play outside, create art, etc. Very happy with this school! read more

Staff was good but my child did not have a good experience. She came home weekly with an issue which I was not told about. Scratches and bruises were not reported until I asked. I took my child out of this care facility. I just could not trust the staff. read more

I have had my son enrolled at this Childtime for about a year now & I can't say enough good things about this place. Everyone there truly cares about the kids. The teachers there are the best & they make my son feel safe & loved, which is very important to us. He has just blossomed this last year & we can not thank everyone there enough. Every day he comes home with something new he has learned & is excited about. We would definitely recommend Childtime. read more

I am not at all about bashing a center but I clearly did not like the incident that happened there. I placed my lil guy in there P/T and when i came to pick him up up one day they said he had a good day, etc. It wasn't till i noticed a big bruise on his forehead which i didn't see when i picked him up. My son has long hair that covers to his eyes and to the back of his shoulders. So imagine its quite long. I didn't feel to observe him and do a "body check" since I felt the time to trust them. I made a phone call while i was at the store while i saw this big bruise on his head asked them how come they didn't tell me about it when i picked him up. According to their policy any incidents need to be reported immediately and parents are to be notified. Which was not done!! SO What really did happen? I do not know till this day. when I had called them the same day after seeing the bruise on his head while i was at the store , they said Oh he does have a bruise ,.. like it was a surprise to them,... they needed to check to see if there was an incident report etc.. At the time they had placed me on hold for sometime which made me feel uncomfortable. The teacher didn't know what happened and here I am on hold with puzzles in my head about what happened and why aren't they on top of it. I didn't sleep easy that night, just with the thought of... if he had a concussion or something i wouldn't of known he hit his head without seeing that bruise... since he had to hit his head really hard in order for a bruise to appear and he doesn't bruise easily. I ended up dis enrolling him and calling the Corporate office of the Child time center. I spoke to the Woman in Charge and she was very helpful and listened to my situation and concern. She had to pay a visit to the center and do a run through of the course of action when cases like this happen and to be on top of it and to not let it happen again. She was very caring and concerned as well...I am not about trying to get anyone in trouble but its the fact why not tell me or be "aware" he had fallen or he hit something or whatever the case might be but it was very unsettling... read more
