We were called this spring about the waiting list after we left our number 2 years ago. I was so…read moresurprised they actually still had our info and called, that in itself showed me they were very organized. We counted down the months for my sons first day and now a month into it, I can say already I understand the reason for that waitlist. My son is happy going in everyday and when o pick-him up. Everyone in the staff is personable, I get daily updates, and he's proud to show me his daily paper with what he colored. The sheet also tells me what they covered for stories, what the age, and he's even napping again. I can use the information on the sheet to talk to him about his day and I'm just mind blown at how much more responsive he is since he started. I'm so happy we got in! They are fantastic

So far, we are happy with Promise Care. Although they lack some of the modern amenities that our…read moreprevious preschool had (I really miss getting those Brightwheel updates!), they are handling Covid with grace and my child feels safe and cared for and that is what matters the most. Unfortunately due to Covid, parents still aren't allowed inside. I still got a chance to see the classroom via a virtual tour and meet his teacher on a few occasions and she is incredibly sweet. My son talks about all of his friends every night, loves the playground, and brings home some cute art projects! He has matured so much just in the 3 months that he's been there, and he quickly stopped crying at drop off because he enjoys his school so much. Negatives would be the lack of an app, not being able to go inside yet, and having to write a check to pay. But, where they lack in modern amenities, they more than make up for it in care and tuition. This is the best priced tuition in the west end for an all day program. I am so thankful that we were able to get in off the waiting list after a 2 year wait and that my daughter will be able to attend next year. We plan to keep both children here until they age out. Thankfully, they pick up from our zoned elementary school so we are set in terms of childcare. It was a rough road to get here - the childcare situation in Richmond is absolutely horrible - but we are here and so thankful!

We have had a wonderful experience with this daycare! From the very beginning, Director Sue and…read moreAssistant Director Christine made us feel comfortable and valued. Before transferring to Child Time from another Learning Care Group facility, I would call Child Time and ask questions that my current facility couldn't answer. Both Sue and Christine were incredibly open, welcoming, and patient in taking the time to answer my questions and address my concerns. Their warmth and genuine care gave me confidence that this was the right place for our family. I am so happy we made the decision to transfer! A special thank you to Sue and Christine for making the enrollment process such a positive experience and for always being approachable, supportive, and caring. Your kindness and dedication do not go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate everything you do for the children and families in your care. I highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a supportive and caring place for their child!

We relocated to Virginia from another state and this Childtime location was between our temporary…read morehouse and the home we were buying. Since our daughter started here, we have always felt overjoyed with the amount of care, encouragement and support the entire staff has given our family. Our daughter is happy and thriving from her time spent with Ms. Julia, ms. Sue and ms Christine, although every single staff member has been instrumental in guiding our girl. Although we are sad that her time at this Childtime is coming to an end (she is starting kindergarten) we're so thankful for everything this facility has done for her. Simply incredible humans that deserve and have earned our upmost respect. Thank you will never be enough.

Children are abused here. They are bitten, pinched, forced to sit in chairs, cursed at and…read moredegraded, they are threatened. The teachers know which kids they can do what to; for instance, they know where the cameras are, and they know the 1-2 year olds won't repeat threats. Management is complicit, and they turn their eyes to the abuse because they are afraid of their family-owned business being under scrutiny. One of the members of management told a one year old girl she needed to lay still so she could get her "pussy" cleaned. Kids are regularly told, "If you were my kid, you wouldn't sit down for a week," things like that. I reported the abuse but they did nothing because I didn't realize how widespread it was; multiple teachers laugh when a teacher is "fed up" and threatens a kid. They all do it. It is terrifying. These kids can't defend themselves, and they can't tell us that it's happening, but it is awful and they need help. ​

Lack of transparency, follow-through, and support for neurodiverse children…read more After four years with Precious Time, I was shocked by how poorly things ended. My son, who has ADHD, was dismissed suddenly and without prior warning--a decision that violated their own three-step disciplinary policy. What we experienced: Incident reports that were vague, inconsistent, and never properly shared, despite numerous formal requests Missed doses of ADHD medication with no timely communication Ongoing bullying that was brought up multiple times and never addressed A rotating door of teachers, inconsistent structure, and poor classroom management Staff who told my child he would be "sent home" if he couldn't "get it together"--which is especially damaging to a child with behavioral challenges We tried for weeks to resolve this professionally, but the lack of transparency and follow-through from leadership was extremely disappointing. Precious Time may advertise inclusion, but our experience said otherwise. If your child needs support or structure beyond the basics, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

I have spoke to Mrs. Robin(billing)about a credit on my account. No one wants to take…read moreresponsibility as for the facts that I have previously shown in the emails that was sent to the owner. I have showed my concern multiple times. On Friday I talked to Mrs.Robins and she was being rude and a racists towards me. She was not understanding at all and the facts were over looked. No one has yet to show me how to make payments online. As I am over $600 behind. I was not billed in an advance as shown in the contract. No one took my payment to have it automatically taken out. No communicated with me about it until after a month my daughter started. I have child care subsidy and no one notified about how much I owed until after a month. I have shown my concerns to the owner and nothing is being done. So I'm just getting further behind and no one is doing nothing. Legally I have proof that the contract was breached and this can be taken to court. I am not being heard and no one wants to take accountability. I had a whole break down that caused me to step away from my job from the words that was coming from Mrs.Robin. As for the owner of Precious Time Child Development I am asking to be heard and for something to be done. Unfortunately I would have to take this to court if nothing will be done.

We are so lucky to have found this Goddard school! Kendra, who has a heart of gold and a true love…read morefor children, opened this school in April. When we initially met her at our tour, we just knew that she was in this field for all the right reasons. Our boys started at the school when it opened, and their teachers have been amazing. Their primary teacher, Miss Katie, has been so loving, and cares about our boys in the most genuine way. They have come so far with her and Miss JaVonne, and we feel so lucky that our boys are in her class. The school director, Molly, has a background in speech therapy, which is so evident in how she has been supporting our children's development. Thank you for giving our boys such a loving and safe transition into preschool! We are forever grateful

I'm going to give you the REAL DEAL! Back in the beginning of this year, when our baby first…read morestarted attending... my husband and I almost left! Yup! The director at the time was very nice and polite to us and I will forever be grateful for accepting us into the program especially during the aftermath of COVID. There was ABSOLUTELY no daycare availability and my husband and I were just so grateful to find a spot for our child! Within a month we could start to notice some of the employees were a little sketchy to say the least and there were also some inconsistencies: No lead teacher... different person all the time Delayed communication through the app Had to remind the director about our military discount every week Yup, I was on the cusp of quitting my job to stay home, when ... Ahhhhhhhhhh (angelic music) a beautiful figure appeared in the door LOLL! Ms. Nikki Newsome walked through the door! Not sure what happened but the old director was never seen again. Then so many things changed! Our child had a consistent lead teacher (woo hoo go Ms. Amber:) A new daycare app was set in place and communication was amazing No discrepancies in our bill an awesome learning curriculum every week, our daughter started achieving more and more milestones Her social skills went from high anxiety to not even noticing when I was walking out the door at drop (Hallelujah!)... I could go on with so many great things. Yes, this was a long review but I do not have a million dollars to give Ms. Nikkie for the peace of mind she has brought us as parents. So the best I can do is take the time to say "Thank You Ms. Nikki for being an AWESOME director!" on a platform with hope that she could be recognized for making this school amazing!.

The difference in the class structure, educational aptitude and overall professionalism was evident. On top of it the cost difference was very reasonable. Although child care is expensive I think this La Petite is well worth the value they offer.

We've been with this daycare for 4 years, and I cannot say enough good things about the care my…read morechildren have received. Monica (the director) and Veronica (assistant director) go above and beyond in every way -- they've supported our family in ways no other daycare would, and they've always done it with kindness and understanding. The level of care here truly starts at the top and flows down to every classroom teacher. Teaching 3- and 4-year-olds is no easy task, but the staff handle it with such patience, grace, and love. My children have grown so much academically, socially, and emotionally during their time here, and I always feel confident they are safe and cared for. If you are looking for a daycare where your children will be treated like family and receive top-notch care, this is absolutely the place.

It's been 3 weeks since my son went to school at Chesterbrook Stony Point, so far we've been very…read morehappy and lucky to have super nice teachers. They're young, bright, and very energetic. I get a report every day about his eating, sleeping, diaper changing, and various activities he's done through out the day. I call EVERY single day, and the principle Sara is super nice, and always give me a snap shot of what my son is up to. She told me I can call as many time as I like, she's super supportive and understanding. They update the app often so I can see the pictures of my son doing his little activities. Infant 1 only has 2 teachers, so there was only 8 children. They had a system, somehow whenever, I come, it was nice and quiet, and the children look BIG, clean, and content. Their curriculum is great, they'd tell us what we are working on with our son so we can also implement at home also. We're going to have more children, and I'd send them here too so we can go through we their programs. I like how there are 200 acres of wood Park right behind the school so the children would get fresh air circulating around.

My son was privileged to have Ms Amanda of the intermediates and also Ms Tori. They are an awesome team Tori took him in as her own and loved him. They were both so patient and loving!! He is now in pre k with even more vetted teachers one of whom had been there since 86. Ms. Tucker is extremely hands on with her curriculum and we get updates as far as activities my son participated in. She challenges him to make him better with retaining his lessons. He has made friends and I'm able to see him active and engaged each day on the playground and in class. My son has sensory setbacks, so my fear was always leaving him alone and being away. Since having him there, I don't want him ANYWHERE else. Bobbie and Sarah are amazing Directors and have both been so so accommodating. All of those ladies are like family. It's really touching to me during a time when childcare is hard to come by and undervalued at times, they always ensure my little boy is okay. That he is learning and not left in the shadows or ostracized. I'm forever grateful for the staff there. Thank you all!! I Absolutely recommend as a phenomenal facility to send your child!
