While I can't speak on the education aspects as I simply don't remember, I can speak to all good it did for me on a social skills side, learned how to talk with other kids and the field trips taught me how to act out in public. Forever grateful my parents chose this place. As a side note if Mr. Turner still works there, he was real one.

When we initially met her at our tour, we just knew that she was in this field for all the right reasons. Our boys started at the school when it opened, and their teachers have been amazing. Their primary teacher, Miss Katie, has been so loving, and cares about our boys in the most genuine way. They have come so far with her and Miss JaVonne, and we feel so lucky that our boys are in her class. The school director, Molly, has a background in speech therapy, which is so evident in how she has been supporting our children's development. Thank you for giving our boys such a loving and safe transition into preschool! We are forever grateful

Lack of transparency, follow-through, and support for neurodiverse children…read more After four years with Precious Time, I was shocked by how poorly things ended. My son, who has ADHD, was dismissed suddenly and without prior warning--a decision that violated their own three-step disciplinary policy. What we experienced: Incident reports that were vague, inconsistent, and never properly shared, despite numerous formal requests Missed doses of ADHD medication with no timely communication Ongoing bullying that was brought up multiple times and never addressed A rotating door of teachers, inconsistent structure, and poor classroom management Staff who told my child he would be "sent home" if he couldn't "get it together"--which is especially damaging to a child with behavioral challenges We tried for weeks to resolve this professionally, but the lack of transparency and follow-through from leadership was extremely disappointing. Precious Time may advertise inclusion, but our experience said otherwise. If your child needs support or structure beyond the basics, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

I have showed my concern multiple times. On Friday I talked to Mrs.Robins and she was being rude and a racists towards me. She was not understanding at all and the facts were over looked. No one has yet to show me how to make payments online. As I am over $600 behind. I was not billed in an advance as shown in the contract. No one took my payment to have it automatically taken out. No communicated with me about it until after a month my daughter started. I have child care subsidy and no one notified about how much I owed until after a month. I have shown my concerns to the owner and nothing is being done. So I'm just getting further behind and no one is doing nothing. Legally I have proof that the contract was breached and this can be taken to court. I am not being heard and no one wants to take accountability. I had a whole break down that caused me to step away from my job from the words that was coming from Mrs.Robin. As for the owner of Precious Time Child Development I am asking to be heard and for something to be done. Unfortunately I would have to take this to court if nothing will be done.

Since moving to the Richmond Metro area, finding excellent, reliable childcare has been challenging…read morefor our family. There are so many great staff members that make Celebree such a warm and supportive learning community for our children. Since starting in Ms. Markesha's room this January my son has thrived socially and developmentally. It's been so special to watch him grow and learn in her class. She also was able to support our potty training journey with our son at school. She parented with us and gave valuable feedback to us while we potty trained at home. Our son is so excited to come to school, and it's clear how much he loves being in her class. Ms. Markesha and Ms. Shae has created such a warm and joyful space to children learn and we are so grateful! Throughout the school day another really wonderful staff member is Ms.Tiffany! My son loves greeting her when he first arrives at school and when she is walking in the halls checking in and supporting classroom teachers. Even though she is not my son's class room teacher, it is evident that she truly cares for my babies and their well being. She shares sweet moments or interactions she will have with my babies any given time I drop them off and pick them up. It shows how much she cares and nurtures my children. Since my son transitioned to the Pre K 3 year old room this summer, Ms. Shanell and Ms. Dali have been wonderful! He has continued his potty training, developed fine motor skills, and is starting to apply academic learning through everyday life. He is learning his days of the week and can identify letters and early letter sounds! She also has made her self available to answer all of my questions or concerns I have in regard to his transition to her room. We are very happy with Ms. Shanell! Ms. Sabrina, the creative genius and art specialist for Celebree School of Henrico is phenomenal! It's clear how much my son loves creating new works of art in her class. She has created such a warm and special space for him to be creative and express himself. Fostering true inquiry based lessons and exploratory self expression is evident in the arts work displayed in the hallways and in the main lobby. Her work is developmentally appropriate for each child , and also provides room for each child to grow and expand their perspectives. She is so patient, encouraging, and caring with each child she encounters at Celebree. It's not easy work doing all the planning, prep, and execution of her lessons, but she makes it look effortless. And finally, Ms. Shilpa and Brianna have been so loving and nurturing towards my baby girl since she started at Celebree at 18 months. Shilpa has been very responsive, and shared many photos of my daughter throughout her day which gave me such peace of mind! My daughter has also really opened up and is loving her teachers in the Toddler B classroom! I have seen her engage in dramatic play, exploratory sensory tables, and developed gross motor skills through dance and creative expressive movement throughout her typical day. I know she is so happy because at home and over the weekend she asks frequently when she will go back to school. We are so happy with Ms. Shilpa in the Toddler B classroom! We cannot say enough praises for Celebree school and their support and care for our children.

The final straw for me is that I know for a fact my baby was miserable during the time she was there.

I am very anger and sad to see all new marks on her on a daily basis that I transferred her to other daycare in a very short amount of time.

AVOID AVOID AVOID I…read morepulled my daughter, 4 at the time, out of this daycare last year around May. It is now March 2025 and it's still bothering me and I'm still mortified by what I saw and I need to warn parents. One random weekday I decided to pick my daughter up early so we can have a girl-date. I showed up without letting the teachers or anyone know, walked in and said I was picking my child up early to the front desk. They said that's fine and I went through the door (after scanning my card). What I saw was heartbreaking. "Class" was in session for the pre-pre-k (2-3yo I think) class which I had to walk past in order to reach my daughter's class. There are windows that stretch through the hallway so you can see in the classroom. Clearly they didn't see me. I saw the kids all sitting in a strange silence except one little curly haired black/mixed boy. He was clearly having a meltdown, crying with tears streaming down his face. The teacher visibly was yelling in his ear with so much anger in her eyes. I can tell she was threatening him, something scary. She looked so angry and the little boy looked so helpless. There was another staff member there who looked at the teacher and didn't say anything. I hesitantly kept watching and slowly walking past, the teacher did not look up and at this point she forcibly grabbed him by his arms and sat him down on the chair with the rest of the kids. The boy was still visibly crying. She was still in his ears visibly angry. I grabbed my daughter, her class was sitting together while the teacher paced around their table I guess quizzing them? She didn't smile when she saw me, she didn't look friendly. (They never did honestly) I wish I never enrolled her here. I pray that they never mistreated her, but based off the other comments I'm now thinking it's very likely. My daughter was also newly turned 4, and wearing pull-ups because she was having accidents. They told me she wasn't allowed to wear pull-ups. This place needs to be shut down. I wish anyone who is in search of a daycare center and is considering this one stays far away. If you're in the short pump area don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions.

The next day he pulled out all the stops to go home within a few hours of arriving. He was told not to come back.
