Childtime of Gaithersburg, Gaithersburg | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

My daughter has attended child time for 2 years as a toddler. From my experience with her there, I’ve seen her develop dramatically both socially, educationally, and physically. A shy child, my daughter has become more outgoing, has become incredibly verbal, and is showing a high degree of empathy. My daughter knows the alphabet, can count reliably to 20, knows her shapes and colors, has a surprisingly impressive vocabulary, and understands and follows fairly complex directions. The Childtime staff really helped my daughter get over the potty training hump and always makes sure she is well rested. They keep her active, engaged, and busy with many developmental activities; I receive updates and photos and videos daily to see what’s she’s doing. They provide nutritious meals and snacks. Childtime took and communicated extra sanitary precautions, especially cleaning and hand washing weeks before COVID 19 shut downs in March and has intensified sanitary and social distancing precautions since reopening in June. I am very happy with Childtime of Gaithersburg, I know she is safe and well attended there, and I also know my daughter loves her teachers and her classmates because she tells me so frequently.

Our son has been going to Childtime since he was five months old. We ended up here because the first choice we had selected close to our home turned out to be a terrible day care. Childtime was like a breath of fresh air. I could tell a truly noticeable difference from the other situation within the first 10 minutes of being there. The Director is fantastic, and very welcoming, and the teachers are very caring and attentive. They really take care of our little guy and also keep him entertained and learning new things everyday. As first time parents, we are learning too, and the team at Childtime help support us in the changes and developments that our son is going through. (Walking, using a sippy cup, and talking.) We are looking for a daycare closer to our home, the 45 minute commute is really hard on my husband and our son. We have looked at several other daycare centers that are closer, but none of them have had the quality that we have at Childtime. We are not willing to give that level of quality up. This is a really wonderful day care. I cannot say enough great things.

The educators and the facility could not feel more like family and home. I have been constantly impressed by their ability to adapt, overcome and thrive during this global pandemic. They have met every challenge head on with excellent communication to parents in a more than timely manner. I’m so grateful for the many ways they have helped my child adapt to the change of living through Covid-19, all while also continuing to make learning fun and exciting for her.
The school now has access to Watch Me Grow, so that I as a parent can log-in and check on my child throughout the day. The teachers also send photos, short videos and brief descriptions about the learning activities they engage the children in throughout the day. I get regular updates about my childs meals and potty attempts as she is beginning her potty-training. They really do a lot and don’t get enough praise for all that they do.
The director and her team are incredibly professional and compassionate educators and do a great deal to create a nurturing environment. I could not be happier to be part of the Childtime family!
