The pros and cons :…read more Pros: The outside facility looks bad but inside classrooms are sunny, nicely decorated with many toys/activity stations for kids. Nice staff, great phone communication. Less kids in each class compared to big chain daycares Reasonable price and summer fees No musty smells Teachers seem attentive, not on their phones like other daycares Cons: Not much shade in outdoor spaces Outdoor fence lack of security Only a few spaces parking, which is taken up by staff. Hot black concrete yard in tricycle area - dangerous if kid falls Rusty fencing and rusty basketball hoop Old facility - outside exterior, basement isn't inviting. 2nd floor classes - harder to leave in emergency No apps - no updates No camera to watch This daycare is definitely not bad, but they certainly can improve those aspects listed.

UPDATE THEYVE DELETED MY REVIEW SO IM POSTING AGAIN…read more My son has been in daycare since 2 years old, never with any issues besides when he first started of course. When we moved to NJ he went to school as well in swedesboro. When we moved to deptford and transferred him to tutor time. Within a month, Hr would cry every morning, begging and pleading not to go to school. " I don't like school" "please I don't wanna go" etc. My husband and I just put it off because we just thought he was a normal 3 year old that didn't like going to school. He then would act out when we got home, terrible attitude, crying, hitting, it was almost unbearable. We talked to someone at the center and they mentioned how he wouldn't nap. Of course I know my child and I figured that could be a factor but they immediately dismissed any other concern. Fast forward a couple of months of literally heartache before and after school, Dmy husband gets a TEXT from his assistant teacher, saying she's quitting and walking out and she cares so much about our that she's worried about his safety because our son was being mistreated and she thought we should know. My husband immediately went to the school and talked to her, apparently two teachers were caught being high while "teaching" have been caught hitting children, falls asleep while watching kids and that they would purposely send our son home with sh*t in his UNDERWEAR just to inconvenience My husband and I because we were one of the last ones to pick him up for the day. I noticed on the cameras that this one teacher was ALWAYs sitting on her phone or the tablet they had. When my husband confronted the director she blew him off and offered half off tuition. My heart literally broke because our son was trying to tell us the best he could but he didn't know how. He's been at the learning experience ever since and has since never gave any issues going to school like he did before.

If I could give this location a negative stars I would…read more My current daycare is closing and we started looking for other daycares. I found Tutor Time and they seemed nice enough. We spoke to two of the teachers to make sure that they would be a match and they were fairly quite. Nothing that sent off any red flags so we started today. I dropped of my little one and went through some of the things that we brought with us along with how to work the reusable diapers that we are using. I asked if we could go inside to review because it was a lot that I just went over, but she said that they still weren't letting parents in still. I trusted them and went on my way. I finally got access to their webcams and was horrified to find my little one crying in the middle of the floor while teachers were gathered around chatting. After 5 minutes, they took care of my little one. Changed them and brought them into another room. I called then to make sure that everything was ok, and the Associate Director, Katie, said that they were taking my little one's temperature because they felt warm. I said that's normal since they were crying for about 5 mins without being tended to. Katie shrugged it off and we got off the phone. About 15 minutes, I see that my little one is in the class room again. I see them in one of the teachers arms and that teacher put my little one in the crib and I see that they are immediately crying and not ok. Another teacher goes over after a couple of minutes, picks them up and just puts them in the middle of the room and leaves the room all together. Does not ask any of the other teachers who are standing around chatting with each other to take care of my little one. I also see two other infants in baby bjorn's without being supervised all while this is happening. If you're looking for your child's basic needs to be met, if you're looking for community or interactions with other children and activities for them to be put in this is not your location. Our other daycare engaged with the children, read to them, played with them and yes there was an element of independence. My little one is able to preoccupy themselves once their basic needs are met. For example, their diapers changed, their fed, they're not cold, etc. Normal 9 month old things. None of these were met here. The diaper was not put on correctly, it was put on backwards and the liner was not even put in there. They coded on their app that they fed my LO, but there's no evidence of this at all. When I grabbed my LO, I met with the teacher and Katie. The teacher apologized and tried to justify what I saw. IE: there was someone who wasn't feeling well and left, the other teachers were talking strategy on how to handle this, etc. 1. The first thing I asked when interviewing the daycare was what was their turnover. They said they didn't see much and they don't close down. 2. The priorities should be on the children and figure out everything else when there isn't a screaming child and two others in baby bjorn's unattended. Transitioning to a new facility is going to be difficult. I recognize that there would be an adjustment period and that's why I didn't immediately pull my child out when I saw them crying on the floor by themselves. This went beyond that. This was absolutely neglectful. I am glad that Katie went ahead and terminated one of the teachers who did not act, but there are still three others who were there in addition, Katie, herself that is not being held accountable. Forgive my grammar, I'm pissed.

Supervision and Staying in the RoomDirect Supervision: Daycare staff must supervise children directly at all times, including during transitions and hallway walking. A child wandering out of a room unsupervised constitutes a serious licensing breach. I have continuously tried to work with the daycare to resolve the issue. They have forced me to sign an agreement which is a breech of law to supervise my child. they do not wish to work with me to resolve the issue, instead they are trying to switch responsibility to me the parent and have stated several times to me that there facility is not safe for my 2 year old child who has been attending there since he was 3 months old. I do not recommend them to anybody. I get called 2 or more times a week to come pick up my child. this also accured previously but I had let it go but now they have gone to far!!!

Staff (preschool teacher) suggested she was "tensing up around Black children," which was extremely upsetting and inappropriate. I had already informed them she is in the process of being evaluated for autism, yet that context was ignored. What made it worse was a staff member pointing out that she was "fine around the white child in the room," which felt insensitive and unprofessional. My daughter interacts well with adults of all backgrounds, including Black staff members, so this conclusion about her behavior felt inaccurate and concerning. Additionally, she was placed in a baby room without my knowledge, where I did not have camera access. I was not informed about this change, nor was I notified that she needed more diapers--they simply used a different brand without asking me. Overall, communication was poor, and I did not feel my child was understood, respected, or properly cared for. I would not recommend this location to other parents.

While dropping my granddaughter off 9:31am Friday, January 10th 2023 I witnessed a teacher (I…read morebelieve her name was Priscilla) grabbing and seating a little toddler. She is the tiniest toddler in the room. I proceeded to observe the situation as the teacher continued yelling and snatching items out of the kids hands. I thought about reacting but I knew they'd call the cops on me. So I went to the office, got Miralena and said, "You need to get your teacher. She's in there yanking the kids and snatching things." As we walked to the classroom, you could literally hear the teacher yelling and screaming at the kids. At that point, Miralena pulled the teacher to the back room and talked to her. I don't know what was said... At that point, my granddaughter started crying cause she didn't want to stay. Mind you this child has been going to this school for over a year and actually looked forward to going to school every day. (Especially when Miss Nyema was there) I left. Sat in the car for a second to gather my thoughts. Then went back inside and told Miralena "Today is her last day! And, I'm gonna need your director to contact me immediately." 11:34am Tuesday 2/14/23, Miralena called "So Ali is staying?" I replied, "Well I don't know. I'm still waiting for your director to call me. So how was that situation handled? Were her parents made aware of the incident involving their child? Cause I'm still trying to get in touch with them. " She said, "We let the teacher go. She won't be back." I said, " Well where's your director because she never called me...and since she didn't it's too late. What is corporates number?" She said, "I'm not in the office and have to stay in the classroom all day today." 4:54pm Tuesday 2/14/23, Rashawnah calls. She apologized for not getting back to me sooner. I asked, "When did Miralena tell you about the incident?" She said "Friday evening." I said, "Isn't protocol to alert superiors immediately after an incident involving the children?" She said "Yes!" So I said, "Right. Since Miralena didn't and now you're just calling me about an incident that took place early Friday morning ...other measures need to be taken. What's corporate number and I want that ethics line too." I proceeded to say, "See if I had snatched her ass up y'all would have called the cops on me. You would want me to do something too if it were you and yours. This didn't personally happen to me and mine but I witnessed it happen to another baby who could have very well been ours." I told her that she would be able to see it all on the cameras. She said they don't have cameras inside the facility. 11:36am Today, 2/17/23 Kelly Phelan calls me to ask is Ali last day on Tuesday? I said, "No. where did you get that from?" She said, "You the grandmother told someone here that her last day was on Tuesday." Then she proceeded to say, "AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, LICENSING WAS JUST HERE AND FOUND NO WRONGDOINGS." I said, "WELL HOW WAS THAT DETERMINED WHEN THEY DIDN'T CONTACT ME THE WITNESS WHO SAW IT HAPPEN?" Nowwwww she wants to play victim. Talking about me screaming...so I hung up. She called back to threaten me with the police if I come down there." I called her back to confirm what she had said and hung up. All of this because I reported a danger that I witnessed against a defenseless baby girl. Now Kelly wants to gaslight and play victim. Her guilty conscience came out in her "argument" with me. Extremely unprofessional.

My child really enjoys going there and is excited in the mornings walking in. As a parent I can say one of the things that is always cautious is that you never know a 100% what is going on with your child so a lot of trust is involved but from what I have seen and the reactions I get from my child they have a very fun hands on program with the kids and you couldn't really ask much more. I will probably re-review in the coming years when my child enters the older classrooms to see how the development is handled. As of now though it is pretty good.
