Childtime

My 8 months daughter went to Childtime and we LOVED IT. The staff is so attentive and we really had the feeling they cared about her so much. She would clap her hand with joy every morning when she arrived. We were informed daily of her activities, her feeding and naps thanks to a contact sheet they fill out. Shen enjoyed painting, music and games. The facility is clean and well organized. We believe that she made tremendous progress while at Childtime. Unfortunately we had to take her out because we moved and the commute was too long. I was fighting tears when I saw the great book the staff signed for my daughter on her last day. We are on the wait list for an other daycare from the same group that is closer to home. Thank you Ana, Jesenia and Lupe (and all the staff from Childtime), my daughter misses you very much.

Not impressed with my visit to this school and would not trust them to care for my children if they cannot even keep an appointment. The location is in the middle of a very industrial area in a shopping center. This did not bother me, but upon entering the facility it seemed like this place has seen better days. It’s a little dreary and dated. At least from the limited area I was allowed to see. Not what I was expecting for a place for young children. One would think a daycare would be a bright and happy area, but this is not the case here.
The staff was unorganized and did not seem to expect my visit even though I made an appointment. Then to top it all off, I was told I would not be given a tour because of the measles outbreak fear. WTF??? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not belittling any policy that would protect the children from health concerns, but I’ve visited other facilities that had the same protective measures, however, at least they had windows where I was able to take a peek at their classrooms and how the teachers interact with the children. Why would you schedule a tour and then not give a tour? Does that make any sense at all? They could have just sent me their brochure because basically I drove all the way out there to pick up flyers.

We LOVE Childtime in Commerce!
My son has been going here for the last 10 months. He started in the infant room and transitioned to the Beginning Steps Class. As a first time parent, it was important for me to find a daycare I felt comfortable with and after doing my research and visiting lots of other centers — this was the right one!
Teachers: My son loves Miss Staicy. She is very nurturing and helps my son on the days he needs a little extra TLC. Miss Yentle is also very kind. Miss Maribel is great at observing my son’s behaviors. They are always open to talking about my child whenever I ask specific questions (which is a lot).
Cleanliness: The best part about this school is that when they change diapers they are very clean. Teachers wear gloves, put a clean sheet under each child and disinfect the area after each child. I never saw this happen at other daycares I visited. Also, in the infant room, everyone needs to wear booties on top of their shoes since the babies crawl around everywhere.
Communication: Everyday I receive a daily update on my child’s activities, his diaper changes, naps and meals (which they provide). Not every school sends home such a detailed report but I value this because it helps me predict my child’s naps and meals once he gets home. The school calls us right away if our son has a fever or if he gets a little boo boo. They are very good at communicating everything to us.
Location: Very convenient by 710 and 5 FWYS. A SECURE location with a pin code lock for the door. Also a computerized login for signing children in and out.
Price: Same price as you would find in Downtown LA. I wish it would be comparable to residential areas but I guess this is the price you pay for premium service and security. You can also pay online — very convenient.
Hours: till 6PM — I wish it was till 6:30PM but at least it forces me to come home early from work.
Just a Few Amazing Things He’s Learned I thought worth noting: He sang Happy Birthday to me and I had no idea he even knew the song! He’s learned to clean up his toys at school and now he does it at home too. He has learned to eat at a table with a spoon and knows that for mealtime you must be seated at the table.
Great place for your little ones! They take lots of pictures (with your consent)! If/​When we have a second, we would no doubt bring him/​her here too!

My kids and I love childtime! I’ve been coming here for a little over 6 years. My sister came here for 4 ½ years and my kids have been coming here for 2 years. This is a very well structured daycare. They really provide a wonderful level of care for your child and get them fully prepared for school. Both my children came here as newborns and I couldn’t be happier with all the love and attention my kids get. My 2 year old is learning how to use the potty and my 1 year old is being taught how to walk. They also feed them only healthy yummy food. What more could a mother want? Thank you to all the childtime staff and lisa and loraine for running such a superior daycare!

I’m not sure if the other reviews are speaking specifically of this location (in Commerce, CA), but I have a hard time believing that they are…
Short and sweet — the staff is truly committed to a top quality experience for my child. Corina, Lisa, Loraine, Prima and Bertha have demonstrated over the last 12 months that they are the right people to care for my child. My son loves coming here, as do all the other children in his class (it’s evident that they are enjoying themselves EVERY day).
Don’t assume the rating for this ChildTime location is accurate (as of this review it is around 3 stars), this is a fantastic child care center, 5 stars all the way.

Im a first time mom, so picking a daycare for my daughter was one of the hardest things I have ever done. My daughter attended another daycare for 3 weeks before I took her out because she deserved a better daycare. Im so thankful I found Child Time. The staff is amazing, qualified, and love my daughter. The most important thing for me is, I 100% trust them with my daughter.

I hate the place. The school lunches are microwaved with the plastic on it so it makes school lunches even more unhealthy. It has a lot of calories. There are a bunch of other classes, and they are learning nothing compared to the kids who are learning Chinese. Even if it weren’t compared to them, I still think those other kids aren’t learning much. They won’t let kids have chocolate because the other kids who go to Broadway over the grade of second grade are fat, so the whole school can’t have chocolate. The English teacher doesn’t teach them anything, which I noticed watching the English class. The only time those kids learn anything is when they are in the Chinese class. Zimmer — the guy in charge, wanted to move the school to Marina Delray. That was dumb. The cafeteria always smells bad because they make bad school lunches. That lunch room also isn’t decorated nicely at all. It’s a peach color, and it looks terrible. On the outside it looks trashy because there are too many signs. It looks terrible, and the English teacher is also really mean to the parents at times too. I hate the school. I don’t recommend it to anyone unless they like that.

I’m not sure why the others had issues since they did not get specific at all. My daughter has been going to this facility since she was an infant and she is now in the toddler room. We have had a very good experience with the school and the teachers are very loving and caring towards the children. My daughter has learned a lot since she has been going and will continue to learn here. The directors are strict with the teachers but when it comes to your childrens lives I would expect them to be strong with the teachers and on top of them and what is happening in the classrooms.

This place gives me the creeps. Maybe the problem is the way in which it is run. Steer clear. It is not child friendly.

My daughter and I love this place. She is in the Kinder Connection program which is definitely preparing her for Kindergarten. She has learned so much since she has been here. The staff is great and really do have the child’s best interest. Ms. Karina and Ms. Primavera are the best. The teacher/​parent communication is good and professional whether the news is good or bad. They also have a music class which my daughter loves. Everyday she comes home singing new songs, showing off her projects and telling stories about her friends. Although this is a daycare it is a classroom environment and the children are taught letters, numbers, shapes, colors, science and nature, even computers. They have lots of cute events on Halloween, Thanksgiving, Birthdays that the parents can attend. They even have a award ceremony. Everyday I get a detailed report of what my child ate, how long she napped and what she worken on. Another great perk about this place is they allow the parents to show up anytime and unannounced to check up on the children. I have taken advantage of this a few times and have not been disappointed. Not sure, what the other review was referring to but my daughter has been coming here for one year now and we love it.
