The teachers here are extremely easy to talk to and they are truly loving and caring towards the chidren! We love Mrs. Heeter and Mrs. Edward! I love that they also have a great payment website setup. Because even the Goddard school didn't accept credit cards and had to always pay by cash which was annoying.

TLDR: Use as a last resort if location and cost override concerns, but follow suggestions at the…read moreend of review* *several 5 star google reviews from the past two years were written by staff *Corporate: don't bother copying and pasting the message to call the center director Choosing a childcare provider is one of the most important and stressful decisions you can make as a parent. Two years ago, we chose Childtime of Lilburn after touring several options in the Lilburn/Lawrenceville area. We based our decision on location and the recommendation of some local families. Here are some key issues: -High turnover, even by daycare standards: We had two kids who respectively moved from the toddler room through preschool and from preschool through Pre-K. The classrooms were a revolving door of teachers, which culminated in both Pre-K teachers (a lead teacher and support teacher) leaving in the middle of the 2025-2026 school year. Turnover created instability in the classrooms and disrupted learning. -Teacher quality: While we had some staff members who were truly caring and dedicated, we saw an overall decline in teacher quality during our two years at Childtime. We saw good teachers take initiative and attain additional early childhood credentials, only to not be retained when they sought better compensation. It was frustrating to see good teachers leave and be replaced by people who were inattentive and unengaging. -Lack of structure: Related to the previous point, diminished teacher quality led to poor classroom management. There was inconsistency in activities and schedules, and poor transitions to and from nap time. With lack of structure and boredom, we saw classrooms trend toward becoming more and more chaotic, which was an environment that was challenging for both of our children (our older child who was in Pre-K and our younger child who had transitioned to preschool as a 3 y/o). If your child does not do well with lack of structure and boredom then they might struggle at Childtime. Do not expect teachers and leadership to work collaboratively with you to support your child if they are struggling at Childtime. -Questionable inclusivity: While we did not perceive racial or ethnic bias and found the staff to be quite diverse, we did sense an underlying culture that was not supportive of nontraditional self-expression. If your child expresses themselves differently this may not be an environment where they feel protected from bullying and supported by the school. Why 2 stars and not 1 star? 1 star felt like it would be dismissive of the hard work and dedication of the good teachers we had at Childtime. It's too bad that many of them have left. We regret not leaving sooner. *Suggestions* 1. Monitor cameras: -the livestream (included in the price rather than being an add-on like at some other providers) is certainly an advantage, but do not assume that because the livestream exists that staff are doing what they are supposed to be doing. Check in at different times of day and call the front desk if you see that your child's class has become chaotic or notice other issues. 2. Check the Georgia DECAL inspection reports: The Georgia Dept of Early Care and Learning maintains a quality rating system of daycare providers (Childtime of Lilburn has 1 out of 3 stars; they are listed as Childtime Childcare #1102) and publish licensing and incident inspection reports. It would be wise to check the portal periodically and see what issues are arising, as these reports are not directly disclosed to families by Childtime. 3. Trust your instincts: If you notice red flags, bring them up to teachers and leadership. If you feel they are not being adequately addressed, leave.

I actually went to children's academy in 98 and obviously was unable to leave or even understand…read morethe concept of a review. I say all that to say, every terrible piece of childhood lore I have has taken place at Children's Academy. The teachers at the time showed very little regard for the wellbeing of the kids. As a matter of fact (this is just one instance) a kid tried to drown me on a field trip and the teachers unanimously decided I was lying. A kid showed me his nether region--they told me I was lying. I told them they didn't give me any orange slices during snack time when everybody else had them--they said I was lying. If I ever see Ms. Kim or Ms. Tan there will be problems. I mean on the bright side, I took a picture with a pony...although that's when we found out I was allergic but whatever the pic was cute I guess.

The kids all seem to be engaged throughout the day with different activities. Each age group has their own outdoor area. They have themed weeks regularly, which is fun for everyone. The staff are all friendly and professional. Also, they don't follow the school schedules so they are open almost every day with the exception of federal holidays. I really like that there is flexibility in drop off times instead of a 30-minute or 1 hour window. I plan on keeping my little here until he ages out. Highly recommend!

I'm so amazed at how much he knows already for his age. He's already speaking so well and it amazes me to see his progress. The teachers are definitely doing there job. The facility is clean, the teachers are amazing with keeping you updated with there progress throughout the day, the front desk are always helpful and willing to assist with anything. The facility is controlled access. You must enter your code to enter the building which was a plus for me. The classrooms are organized and well kept. I love the many events they have through out the year for the children. The owner Mrs. Raneet is amazing and cares about the school and the quality of care your child receives. I came to her with concerns and she was always willing to fix anything or correct any issues that was there. Super sweet and always willing to help you anyway she can. Thank you :)

The pre-K here is Georgia Funded and it's on a first come basis. So they set a date early in the year and you pretty much come by 7 or something to stand in line and hope you get a spot. They have a few different classrooms with different start times. You can request a certain time if it works better for you. So far my daughter has been there for a few weeks and she loves it. I ask her everyday what she thinks and she never has a bad thing to say. They learn different things on a weekly basis. We're only on week 3 so I can't really comment on the learning aspect. They have optional internet monitoring. You pay extra for it if you want it. It's not the best but it's cheap. You can't watch the video on a MAC or on a newer 64 bit computer so you better have an old one. Luckily my father had one. :) The video you see is in one corner of the room your child is in and that's all you get. But to be honest, its okay to check in every once in a while. In my opinion you shouldn't be glued to the video at home anyway. You should have a little trust.
