My son started mid-way into the pandemic..No deposit or year round payment was required at…read moreenrollment, just the weekly pay..On his first day he was super excited to see so many kids but, in the five hours he was there, I picked him up with a long scratch on his face...the women who handed him to me at the door just brushed it off when I asked but, my son looked so happy so I just let it go and thought of it as an accident.. my son was never able to fall asleep like the other kids. I saw his teacher on the camera forcing him back down on his mat each time he would try to get up while the other kids slept. I heard my son just bawling in tears even when I was told he would be able to play in the corner or atleast be comforted if he did not want to nap so, I just started picking him up before nap time began. My son was there for less than two months on M,W,& Friday's for less than 5 hours. I would stay for about 10-20 minutes and watch the cameras, there were just so many things that I saw in the classroom and in the directors office that just weren't okay. The director was hardly there and when she was she would be "so busy" with other things she did not have time for questions or concerns. Ms.Mary was great! She seemed to struggle at times to keep things in line with the staff but, overall with all the things I saw happen she did her best! The reason overall, I left Childtime Mesquite was when two staff members lost it. One staff member from a classroom did not want to change the pooped diaper of a little boy because he belonged with my sons group next door so she dragged the little boy by the hand with his POOPED diaper pulled down to his ankles and took him next door to where my sons class was. His teacher did not want to change the little boy and also, thought she was giving her attitude so they both started calling each other names and literally screaming at each-other. THE LITTLE BOY STOOD THERE WITH HIS POOPED DIAPER STILL. Ms.Larie was on vacation and Ms.Mary did not know how to handle the situation ,she was just very sorry and embarrassed a parent (me) was watching the whole thing. My sons teacher ended up just grabbing her stuff and storming out because she wanted to get physical with the other staff member. After that happened,I just knew this is not the place for my child. When COVID was found among the staff it was just another reason not to return. He did learn a lot but, staff is very unprofessional. Ms.Larie was absent to half the problems there. Also, another thing Is if a parent would like to watch the cameras playback something, they have to fill out a form and submit to Ms.Larie then she has to call her boss to get approval, then a meeting will need to be arranged .Which can take days or a few weeks. It just continues to bother me that in the 10-20 minutes I sat there watching all these events happen my question continues to be so, what happened when no parent was there to watch? First day care experience not good at all.

Childtime is a terrible place for children with caring parents. The administrator Larie is…read moreunprofessional and runs the daycare like a circus. My daughter attended for 6 weeks. The last straw was when I picked my daughter up and she was literally soaking wet, had a rash from head to toe and wearing someone elses clothes! Nobody ever contacted me to bring clothes or to notify me of my childs condition. When inquiring about why my daughter was in this condition, I was told that another teacher came from outside to stop my child and another child from climbing out of the window causing my daughter to miss gettimg her diaper change! Safety is not a priority at this daycare. I was told by the teacher Susanna, that she was sweeping and talking to another parent which prevented her from stopping the children from climbing to the window. Any parent that has a child in day care knows that this is unacceptable. My daughter was moved after this to another class and still was not cleaned before I picked her up. The one year old teacher Susanna is very young and emotionally immature. She has no business dealing with children, as she seems to have cognitive difficulties herself. No one in their right mind would tell a parent that she was too busy sweeping and talking to prevent children from climbing out of the window. In the six weeks we were enrolled, there were several different teachers. The turnover is extremely high even for a daycare. At one point, the cook was in the classroom taking care of the children! They do not do anything educational or fun for the children. There are no special events like other day cares. Childtime is just a holding place for children. The facility is filthy and there are several safety hazards. Enroll with caution!

Dallas Christian School presents itself as a beacon of faith-based education, but beneath the…read moresurface is a culture built on exclusion, favoritism, and quiet discrimination. Unless your family has the resources to donate large sums of money, the "right" race, or gain favor through employment at the school, you are just a number--tolerated, but never truly included. The school's values are less about Christ and more about class and elitism. A tight-knit inner circle of donors, board members, and influential families call the shots. Everyone else is kept in their place. Diversity at Dallas Christian is performative at best. Minority students are rarely visible outside of athletic teams, and there is a pattern of recruitment that raises serious ethical questions. These students are valued for what they can do on the field or court--not who they are. And yes, there have been documented and disturbing instances where students of color have been called racial slurs, including the N-word, by both peers and staff. Consequences for these actions have been minimal, and accountability is nonexistent. The emotional toll is real. Kids who start off confident and engaged quickly become withdrawn, questioning their worth in an environment that measures value by status. The self-esteem damage lingers long after. Many of the glowing reviews online are not from impartial voices--they are parents on the board, major donors, or paid reviewers. Don't be misled by the marketing or manufactured praise. The reality inside is far different. Meanwhile, families who experience harm are pushed out quietly, without support, and without acknowledgment. Even staff members who happen to be minorities are part of the same exclusionary system--and they know it. There is no safe space here, only a well-oiled machine that rewards compliance and marginalizes difference. If your family doesn't "fit" their mold--racially, politically, or socially--you will be pushed out, one way or another. The environment is not just biased, it is hostile. And they'll use your tuition to do it. With the rise of school vouchers, this kind of systemic discrimination is only going to get easier to hide. If you are a minority family, a values-driven family, or seeking real faith-based education--run. Don't be fooled by the brochures. The truth is much uglier.

The curriculum prepares the children well for elementary school. Parents receive prompt feedback on the children's progress. They have a great Christian environment in which all adults teach the children good morals and social interactions. The school is structured giving a good variety of activities.

I hope my long experience can educate other interested parents about how special this school is for us. I like this facility because it is a family-oriented Montessori school and unique in many ways. Both directors are very experienced in this field. They work hard to be on top of every issue at their school, which gives you a good feeling when you go there every day as a parent. The place is always clean and organized. the staff Ms. Maria, Nina, Holly, Karen ....are very friendly and caring. The management is truly committed to providing your child with a safe, fun, and loving environment throughout the year, especially their summer amp is really unique. I'm grateful for their hours as well, it is important since not everyone worked a 9am to 5 pm job. The days that the school is closed are minimal, and you have the calendar schedule in advance. one of my favorite moments was when I dropped off my little one, she turned around and said bye mommy, and made her way to her class. So, what more you may expect from your child's daycare!

The school uses an app to communicate and it's so great to have updates on what my daughter is doing and having some pics of her throughout the day. My daughter's teacher Ms. Andrea & Ms. Carolina are so sweet and my daughter really loves her teachers. We are so thankful for this school and for her teachers.

I was in the hospital at the time and my son's grandmother had to leave from mesquite just to find him. The daycare never called to make me aware of it. The director is never present, there are messengers but no one has authority.
