  As first time parents, it was very hard when it came time for us to leave our daughter at daycare when we went back to work. We had been with her every day since she was born, and now we were going to leave her with strangers. We were initially drawn to Childtime of Orange by the lovely residential campus in the hills with lots of nice nature space and the fact that all the rooms were setup with webcams which would allow us to check in and see how our daughter’s day was going in real time. As new parents, this was very reassuring.What came to be much more important than this, however, was the care and attention that our daughter received from her teachers. We were so grateful to see the interest they take in each child. They were very willing to help us figure out a routine that worked for our daughter when she was having difficulty napping at daycare, and they were always monitoring her individual progress to keep us up to speed on her development. I am so impressed with and deeply appreciative for the compassion and patience that the teachers show toward the children every day. It’s a relatively small community. The director is wonderful and personally knows all the families, and most of the teachers know the names of most of the children (even those who aren’t in their class). We never worry about our daughter when she is at Childtime. We know that she is being well cared for, and we always look forward to seeing what new things she learned that day. Choosing to send our daughter to Childtime of Orange was one of the best decisions we made for our family.

  Staff was so genuinely kind and caring, loved America who is the director. Our child took to the daycare quickly and we love how safe it felt with camera access and location being tucked away. Food was good quality too, always impressed with the menu!

  This is one of the best for child care. I highly recommend sending your kids here. They take the time and effort in ensuring your child's needs are met. My daughter has a blast with their fun daily activities. She is also meeting her milestones! They make learning a priority. The staff are incredible!!! We were blessed to have been accepted into their daycare program.

  We are incredibly grateful to have Luka in the care of the Orange location. Our bubba was mainly in the infant and toddler class, but we could tell he really enjoyed the whole staff. Us as new parents also felt the genuine care and the seriousness of safety and wellness for our baby. Our bubba learned so many life skills here, we absolutely recommend this location.

  We love Childtime of Orange! It's a beautiful daycare with kind and loving staff and teachers. Our daughter has been attending Childtime for more than a year. She started in the toddler class and has transitioned to early pre-school. Ms. Liz, Ms. Maria, Ms. Jessika, and Ms. Natalie were incredible with our daughter in the toddler class! They helped her adjust to daycare, walk and eat independently! They always had cute crafts and activities going on! Ms. Cherie and Ms. Melanie helped with transition to early pre-school! Our daughter would cry at drop off, but they gave her the love and support she needed to adjust to the new class. During the transition into early pre-school, Ms. Cherie would provide daily reports on how our daughter was doing and would comfort her until she felt comfortable to join the rest of the class. Ms. Melanie is a kind and loving educator. She gives great tips on child development and potty training. Most recently Ms. Jillian sent us a note about her observation during nap time and made sure that our daughter got a restful nap. The school is clean and cute, with lots of toys and a very large outdoor play area. There are always holiday activities, lots of photos, crafts and summer camp. Ms. America is doing a fantastic job running this beautiful daycare. All our our questions and concerns are promptly addressed with the outmost respect for our family. Ms. Dianne is always there to assist with anything we need. Ms. Gina, the chef, makes sure the kids get yummy and nutritious meals.The curriculum fosters an environment for learning. At the age of two, our daughter is speaking in sentences, counts, knows colors, the names of her teachers and classmates, and lots of songs that she sings to us on the way home. We have a peace of mind knowing our daughter is in a safe and caring environment. Childtime of Orange is an extension of our family and a huge part of our daughter's early childhood development.

  In 2017, I was looking for a daycare to help with my first child. I lucked up and found Childtime in Orange. And while this center is part of chain, all sites are not the same. Now I have 2 children attending this daycare and it so great to find a great place for my kids. The curriculum is exemplary, my daughter is 4 and she can count, write letters, and she knows a few yoga poses...lol! The program is well-rounded with academics, practical knowledge (calling 911, visits from the fire department, etc.), recreation (soccer, etc.), linguistics, and cultural diversity. As a working mom, finding a daycare that provides nutritious meals and diapers (wipes) is an excellent perk, one less thing to worry about. I also love the technology I can communicate to the teachers directly. The app allows for teachers to log naps, meals, and observations. The teachers send me pictures and updates throughout the day, it is so nice to stay connected with my kids. The live camera feeds are also great. Now, the most important part, the staff and teachers. From day one I have felt so welcome by the staff and teachers. They are all integral in my children's overall development. Ms. America and Ms. Dianne (site directors) are excellent. Any concern or question, I have had over the years has been immediately addressed. For example, with my youngest child I wasn't ready for him to transition out of the infant room and they understood and addressed my concerns with compassion and care. Ms. Jen (who was my daughter's teacher twice) and Ms. Melanie were single-handedly responsible for potty training my daughter when she refused to use the potty at home. Before my daughter was 3 she knew her colors and shapes, including a rhombus...lol! I appreciate the efforts Ms. Karina and Ms. Elsa have made to get my daughter ready for kindergarten. Ms. Kanice, Ms. Yesenia, Ms. Jessika, Ms. Liz, and Ms. Maria have been so great with my son. He says a full list of words, loves books, and plays great with others. As an educator, my schedule changes through the year and Childtime has always been able to accommodate my changing schedule. With almost 5 years of experience with Childtime of Orange I would highly recommend this daycare center.

  My daughter attended Childtime and really enjoyed the program. The teachers are kind and caring. It is a huge plus that meals are provided. We also love the Brightwheel and WatchMeGrow. These programs kept me informed of her daily activities. America Lopez, the director is really kind and helpful. She was quick to communicate and answer questions. I would definitely recommend this school.

  1 star because I loved it for my 5 year old but sadly not for my infant. Multiple workers were speaking about my son because he was EXCLUSIVELY breastfed and did not take bottles so naturally wanted more one on one time with someone. I understand babies cry I had no issue with him crying all day because it was a new transition! And babies cry ‍I was given attitude and talked down upon for giving my baby sippy cups (recommended by our pediatrician). I was told "some of the moms give their babies bottles at home but bring sippy cups so we have to deal with the transition, so can you bring in bottles?" - stated Liz "we all wanted to know, do you carry your baby too much. I had too many babies today, that's a lot and that is why your baby is crying all day long because you hold him too much at home" -stated by Yesenia. you cannot carry an infant too much. It seems as though this facility allows their workers to implement their old-style parenting habits. It also allows their workers to feel so overwhelmed that they have to complain to the parents. The director America Lopez was notified in how I was being spoken to and SHE ADMITTED THEY DO NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH infants and SIPPY CUPS. So shed rather try to keep getting tuition rather than admitting this facility WASNT for my infant. The director was made aware on different occasions about three different comments that were said to me in a negative way. The director did not apologize to me and brushed me off by saying she would get back to me. It has been a full 6 workings days and America Lopez the Director has not called back to have a conference call with anyone in regards to the situation as she stated that she would do on 08/13/2021.Pros. Diane is amazing, Kanice is awesome, registration fee waived, play area is amazing for older kids, for infants- Have access to Camera system, provides food, provides diapers, provides wipes, provides bibs, provides pacifiers to chew onCons. No accountability, no communication with each-other, rude, implements own parenting styles

  Stop. You just found the most amazing childcare site. Come in for a tour, meet the loving staff and sign the papers already. I know how challenging it is to find a daycare you trust to take care of your child while you are at work. The struggle is real-I feel you!! So let me share my excitement about Childtime in Orange. I have had and still have my kids going to this location. Trust me, there are other cheaper locations near here, but you get what you pay for. There are more pricey options available as well, but just because you pay more doesn't guarantee you that it'll be a good fit for you.I started coming here when Ms.Laura was the director. Since then she has moved on to a different school. Then her Assistant director, Ms. Jamie, became the director. Then Ms. America joined the family. All these directors brought their friendly self and imparted such a warm and welcoming community. Ms. America has taken it many steps further and really made this site so home-y and very cute and so welcoming . As soon as you come in thru the passcode protected gates (that's a plus!) you'll notice very rustic-chic decor and neat outside toys for the kids to play with. She really transformed the vibe of the school. She's amazing.You'll also see Ms. Dianne in the office as well. She is amazing and will answer any amount of questions you have because she truly understands that the parent needs to feel that their child is safe and well taken care of in order to leave them in the care of others. She's so fun to talk to and is quite the multitasker. Did I mention that the staff here, especially Ms. America and Ms. Dianne actually legit want to get to know you and your name? I've been to other schools where the directors don't really care who comes in because they just see $$$. That is NOT the culture here. You'll see them greet the parents by their first names and just make it like a big family. Love this welcoming and lovingVibe!!Next, this place has a fully functioning Kitchen!!!! I repeat, a kitchen!!!!! This means your kids foods won't all be just takeout pizza or microwaveable food because let's be real, if I'm trusting my kids in the hands of others, I want them to eat a nutritious meal. I'm not talking about all organic and farm-raised, but a delicious and well balanced meal. You are going to get that here. They have a weekly menu put out so that you know what your kid is going to eat. I have been to other places where they only have a microwave. Blah! No thank you. You walk in and you'll think "dang, what are they eating?! Smells so good!" Haha. For all you techie parents /grandparents/guardians /babysitters - you can also download an app to WATCH your kids!! That's right! Take a quick peak during work or lunch to check in and see how your kids are doing. You also get updates on a different app and pix and videos that the teachers take throughout the day. If you have a question for the teacher or Ms. America, you can send them a quick message on the app too and their response time is great. No more having to sneak out of work to make a quick phone call.What I love about this place is that they have an open door policy. Meaning at any point you wanted to check in on your kid, you could. That was pre-covid. I'm sure you still can but you have to follow new pre-cautionary rules.Speaking of covid, all the staff here wear masks. Even when they are by themselves they are masked up. The staff has always been great about making sure the kids wash their hands after playing outside, and before and after eating. During covid, the staff made extra sure kids were washing their hands really well. Teachers are constnetly disinfecting high touch areas . I feel safe here. I always have because I know that I can trust the teachers to look after my kids .You know how hard it is to drop off your kid and just go if they are hanging on for dear life on your legs? Other daycares won't even let you go in and say bye "out of the best interest for the chi

  Our son is 11 months old and he loves this place as much as we do. Everyday he learns new things and does different activities. Ms. Kanice and Ms. Yesnia are wonderful and amazing. All the teachers are very nice, sweet, caring and have been there for years. They are amazing and care what they do. They are the true heroes in all this. I can't say enough good things about this daycare and recommend it to everyone I know.

  9/2/2020 Update- Still 5 stars! My now 2 year old in the Early Pre-K class and still thriving! I cannot express enough how much my daughter loves it here and how much she is learning each day.We love Childtime Orange! My daughter started out in the infant room at 4 months old. She is now 16 months old and thriving in the toddler room. She loves her friends and teachers! She enjoys playing, dancing, and learning. Every time I check in during the day on the live feed, there she is enjoying some sort of activity. Getting updates and pictures throughout the day is also a major plus. The staff...every single one of these ladies are sincerely wonderful! They really care about our littles. I highly recommend them!!

  I interviewed a lot of daycares before choosing Childtime and I could not be any happier with my choice. From the beginning Loren and Jamie were extremely patient with me, answering every question and working with me on finding a good schedule for my daughter. Since she's started, her teachers have been absolutely wonderful. They've helped her get comfortable and settle in; she has an especially good condition with Miss Amber, which I am so grateful for. They take time to regularly update me through the Brightwheel app, sending pictures and video, etc. Very grateful to have found a daycare that I can trust. Thank you for all you do!
