Five Years of Love, Support, and an Extraordinary Community I cannot say enough wonderful things about Childtime, Ms. America, and the incredible women who have loved, cared for, and supported my daughter and me through the first five years of her life. When my daughter first started at Childtime, I never could have imagined that I would find so much more than a daycare and preschool. I found a community. The women at this school walked alongside me through the first five years of motherhood, answering questions about everything from breastfeeding and building a stored milk supply to feeding, sleeping, potty training, toddler tantrums, and even navigating parenting through divorce. They supported not only my daughter, but me. I will forever be grateful for the care, wisdom, patience, and encouragement they gave our family. I especially cannot say enough about Ms. America, the school director. Her stewardship of a team that has created such a loving and supportive community is truly remarkable. Her care for my daughter, her care for me, and the countless pieces of advice she has shared with me over the last five years mean more to me than I could ever put into words. She has created an environment where families feel known, supported, and genuinely cared for. Ms. Kanice and Ms. Dianne were the steadfast and loving leaders of my daughter's first year in the infant room. They did just as much to soothe me as they did to soothe my baby! I would find myself coming early or staying late just to ask questions about my daughter's development, feeding, sleeping, and all the things that come with being a new mom. They took incredible care of both of us and gave me so much confidence during a very new and sometimes overwhelming season of motherhood. Ms. Liz and Ms. Diana were there as my daughter transitioned from a baby into a toddler, and they took such incredible care of my growing girl. As her energy grew and she mastered milestone after milestone, I knew that Liz and Diana were layering learning, structure, encouragement, and love into her every day. They helped her grow while making sure she felt safe, seen, and celebrated. I am so thankful for Ms. Melanie, who my daughter had next. The time she spent in her classroom was truly formative. Melanie is a master of potty training--she had my daughter out of daytime diapers in just 10 days, and she was out of bedtime diapers at home within another week! But even more valuable than that was the guidance she gave me as a mom. Following Melanie's advice gave me a roadmap through the "terrible twos" and the "threenage" years. I genuinely don't know where I would have been without her wisdom, consistency, and support during those years. And then there are Ms. Stella and Ms. Marlene, who have made an indelible mark on both my daughter's heart and mine. They have fostered such a rich learning environment that my daughter has developed a genuine hunger to learn. They have prepared her incredibly well for kindergarten and have helped her build a strong foundation in the traditional academic subjects and so much more. What makes Stella and Marlene especially wonderful, though, is that they know my daughter not simply as a student, but as a person. They have dedicated so much time and care to fostering her social development and understanding her unique heart, personality, likes, dislikes, strengths, and challenges. They have loved her so well, and I will always be grateful for that. Every one of these teachers has gone above and beyond the call of duty. They have poured love, patience, knowledge, and care into my daughter, and they have supported me through some of the most important and challenging years of my life. Childtime has been so much more than a school for our family. It has been a village. It has been a place where my daughter was loved, nurtured, challenged, encouraged, and celebrated--and where I, as her mom, was never made to feel like I had to figure everything out alone. Five years is a long time to entrust someone with your child, and I can honestly say I would make the same choice all over again. I am beyond thankful for Ms. America and every teacher who has been part of our journey. I cannot wait for my son to start at Childtime in 2027 and to watch this incredible community love and care for him, too. Thank you for loving my daughter so well. You have left a permanent mark on our family, and we will carry that gratitude with us forever. read more

Like many others have said, Chiltime of Orange is a wonderful school/daycare. Our two children have really thrived here. Our youngest was only 4 months old when he started attending. The director, Ms. America, is amazing. The staff are accessible, responsive, and understanding of parents' inquiries and concerns. We love all the teachers, but Ms. Diana, Kanice, Melanie, and Vicki have been especially noteworthy in caring for our children. Our kids love being there and have shown so much development socially and intellectually, while in a fun and safe environment. ​ read more

Our son started at Childtime when he was just 5 months old, and now he's in preschool! We love all the teachers there. They are so loving and caring, and he's always happy to go to school. Ms. Melanie, Ms. Liz, Ms. Taylor, Ms. Marlene, Ms. Diana, Ms. Angelica, and the entire team have taken such wonderful care of him. He has learned and grown so much over the years, and we are so grateful to all of them. We're planning to enroll our second child next year! read more

We have been coming to Childtime since my little one was 2-TK. We love this location. The staff is amazing and love my little one. I wish they had weekend coverage, but other than that we love it here. Will be sad when my little one has to go to kindergarten. read more

All three of our children attended Childtime of Orange. What originally drew us to this option for childcare were the cameras, dietary flexibility, and extended hours. We did not have a good experience with the first place we put our oldest and wanted to be able to "check in". We also wanted the flexibility to send food with our child versus relying on what was being served. What has kept us at Childtime are the staff, the experiences our children get, and the education they learn. As our oldest progressed from the Toddler to Twos classroom his brother was born. We never questioned where he would go - it was Childtime. Eventually he got a sister and she too enrolled. Our oldest is now entering Kinder, with our middle headed into the TK class at Childtime and our youngest in the Infant room. In the childcare space there is always churn. We have seen teachers and Assistant Directors come and go - but one constant has been in the Director Mrs. America. She TRULY loves the kids and does all she can to make their time the best it can be. We had the pleasure of having her son in the same class as our oldest son and her daughter in the same class as our youngest son. She's amazing and her husband is a gem as well. You can often see him at pick-up taking out trash, cleaning up toys, or setting up for activities. Her assistant, Ms. Diane is great as well. You can tell she loves kids and wants to foster their growth and development. We looked at other Childtime locations. This one was different. The outdoor space is HUGE, every teacher knows every kids name, and there's Mrs America. :) If you are looking at the Infant room, Ms Kanice, Ms. Vanley, and Ms. Angelica will watch over your kiddos and treat them like their own. They will sing, dance, blow bubbles, and give any snuggles needed for naptime. If you are looking at the Twos room, Ms. Melanie and Ms Liz are both AMAZING! Many parents have credited Ms. Melanie with helping their kids potty train. She is wise and experienced. As for Pre-K and TK, Ms. Diana, Ms. Vicki, and Ms. Stella are FANTASTIC as well. Our kids love them all and they love them. Our oldest had Ms. Stella. He was heartbroken when he had to leave for TK at the local Public school. When entering, he was noticeably ahead of everyone else. He could read, do math, and write his name. They also have some sweet floaters and culinary staff. Ms Jen in the kitchen is lovely and the kids really connect with Ms Taylor when she comes in to relieve a teacher for break or help out at closing. Oh, and Ms Anibel is sooo patient and loving with the youngest ones! Honestly, give it a look. Is it the cheapest? No. Does it have both early and late hours to accommodate the working household? Yes. Is it a safe and loving place for your kids to grow and thrive? Yes. Are they perfect? No Do they make changes as they learn? Yes Can you trust them? Yes. Is it fun to check the cameras to see your kids in the middle of the day? Absolutely. read more

Our daughter has been going to Childtime since she was 5 months old. We initially had a lot of anxiety about what daycare to take her to and we got good vibes from Childtime in Orange. Of the daycares we considered, Childtime definitely is not the cheapest in terms of cost, but in my experience this is really something where you get what you pay for. Our experience here has been nothing short of wonderful. The teachers are all so wonderful, they are genuinely nice people who really care about the kids. I've never once wondered if my daughter is in great hands. You can tell that this business is run and managed excellent from the top administrators down to the teacher level. Whoever interviews and hires these teachers does an exceptional job at selecting employees, because without exception all my daughter's teachers have been wonderful. Equally important is she loves in at that school and is excited every morning. The school puts a lot of effort into feeding her good food and making lesson plans each month to teach and stimulate her. We're especially thankful for Miss Melanie, Miss Liz, miss Anjelica, Miss Annabel, Miss Vanely, and Miss Kanice who have all made a hugely positive impact on our daughter. We recently had to potty train our daughter, and thought the transition from weekend training to going back to school would result in some setbacks. Instead, Miss Melanie took on my daughter's potty training at school with the same effort and care that we did at home. Thanks to her and Miss Liz, our daughter is fully potty trained now and hasn't had an accident at school in weeks. read more

My children have attended Childtime of Orange for 4.5 years. I can't say enough about the care they have received. One of my daughters began in the infant room and the other, in early preschool. Both have grown and developed immensely over the years because of the loving care they have received. I credit so much of their development to the director, Ms. America and the amazing teachers (Ms. Kanice, Ms. Melanie, Ms. Liz, Ms. Diana, Ms. Marlene, Ms. Stella) who have been genuinely invested in my daughters. They are kind, patient, and thoughtful. They are also very well trained and experienced in child development/early childhood education. My oldest daughter who is now in elementary school was exceptionally prepared for kindergarten because of the education she received at Childtime. Truly, I could not have asked for a better experience. If you are looking for a high quality childcare that will nurture your child and will provide them with a strong foundation in their early years, you will not be disappointed in Childtime of Orange! read more

My twins started here in the early preschool class. My kids had a really hard time going from being home with me all the time to being at school 2 days a week. Ms Melanie went out of her way to get to know my kids needs and make them comfortable and happy. They went from crying all day to now not even wanting to leave when it's time to go home. Both the director, Ms. America and assistant director, Ms Dianne personally reached out to me and would regularly check in on the progress with the transition which I really appreciated. They are now in Ms. Stella and Ms. Marlene's class and love both these teachers so much. I feel like all the teachers genuinely care about the kids here. read more

We have been very happy with our transfer to Orange. We came last November and have been very thankful for Ms. Stella and Ms. Marlene who have helped our daughter develop skills at her level. She was able to catch up on holding a pencil, writing, completing worksheets, been re-engaged in circle times, actively participating in events and extra curriculars. We don't have to worry if she's actually attending things like Webby and that's been amazing. This was our first summer experience with an actual curriculum and daily activities which has been great! My daughter looks forward to them daily! We are excited to have our daughter keep growing and getting appropriate age appropriate curriculum. read more

One of our kids has been at this Childtime for three years now and our second will be starting there soon as well! We've always appreciated how friendly and warm everyone is there, and our son likes going to school and is excited to see his friends and the teachers (most mornings at least, I'm sure anyone reading this knows exactly how they can be at that age). Ms. Vanely, Ms. Marlene, Ms. Melanie and the others have been such a positive influence on him in the past, and in his current class Ms. Diana has been great at expanding his imagination. He always comes home with stories to tell, and is excited for his baby brother to join him there in the infant room with Ms. Kanice, Ms. Anabel and the others! read more

Our grandchildren have been enrolled in this daycare and their parents have been very pleased with it. Our experience directly has been in attending graduations and special recognition ceremonies. So we've had an opportunity to tour the classrooms and meet their wonderful teachers and the principal. read more

Childtime of Orange: A Home Away From Home for Our Family We enrolled our son at Childtime of Orange when he was 8 months old, and he remained in their care for 1 year and 4 months--until we moved out of the area. Our time there left a lasting positive impact on our family, and if we hadn't relocated, we would absolutely still be attending. The value of the care and the environment made the price well worth the investment for our family... (My review exceeds character limit - Please see the images for more details on: - Enrollment & Transition Support - Communication & Technology - Classroom Environment & Curriculum - Health, Hygiene & Safety - Security & Logistics - Staff & Leadership -Community & Special Events) ...When we recently moved, leaving Childtime was the hardest part. We even commuted 25 miles each way for a full month just to keep our son there a little longer and stagger one transition at a time. That's how much we trusted and loved this center. If you're a prospective parent looking for a clean, structured, caring, and community-driven daycare experience, Childtime of Orange under the direction of Ms. A (and assistant director Ms. D) is truly exceptional. read more

Our daughter started attending Childtime of Orange in December of 2024, when she was just 16 months old. Up until then, she had been home with us since birth, so the transition to daycare was a big step for our family. From day one, the teachers at Childtime have been nothing short of amazing. The Toddler classroom has truly been a life-changing experience for us. Ms. Anabel, Ms. Angelica, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Marlene, and every other teacher who steps into that classroom has shown our daughter so much love, patience, and care. Our daughter is thriving--socially, emotionally, and developmentally--and we credit that to the nurturing environment the staff has created. What sets Childtime apart is that this isn't just any daycare--Our daughter is in a classroom with a real curriculum. She's learning every single day, and it's been incredible to watch her vocabulary grow, her independence blossom, and her curiosity thrive. We can truly see the difference that a structured, educational environment makes. We also want to recognize Ms. America, the director, who goes above and beyond for every child and family. Her leadership, warmth, and dedication shine through in everything she does. She makes the center feel like more than a daycare--it feels like a second home. Although we recently moved to Chino and now have a Childtime just 4 minutes away, we continue to commute to the Orange location. That's how much we value and trust the team here. They've become an extension of our family, and we are so grateful for the role they've played in our daughter's early years. My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Childtime of Orange to any family looking to begin their daycare journey. You won't just find childcare here--you'll find a devoted team that genuinely cares for, teaches, and uplifts your child every step of the way. read more

I am writing about this childcare center nearly 7 years later. I enrolled my daughter here for a short few days before I decided to pull her out. What I am about to describe has stuck with me all of these years. In the short few days that my daughter attended here, we were in the 3 year old room with a child who was clearly on the spectrum. They were having behavioral problems with this child. Each time I would check in on the cameras for my daughter, this child would be crying. Understandably, this made the environment very overwhelming and the other three year olds would look on concerned and confused as the teacher at the time was yelling at this three year old, screaming at him, slamming chairs down, telling him to stop yelling and to stop crying, aggressively motioning what he was supposed to do or where he was supposed to lie down, etc... After the third day, I decided to pick my daughter up in the middle of nap. I had checked the cameras beforehand and saw that again the child on the spectrum had been crying and was inconsolable. The teacher decided to turn the music up at full volume during nap, as she just let this poor baby continue to scream and cry. The music was so loud, it was clearly an attempt to drown out the child. When I picked my daughter up, she was under her blanket, covering her face and her ears and clearly uncomfortable and not wanting to be there. It has already been 20 minutes of nap. On our way home, she told me the boy was sad all day and the teacher wouldn't help him and she was mean to him all day. After that, we never came back. This was enough for me after 3 days of watching the horrendous care of this child. On the first day when I noticed what was happening with the other little boy, I notified the director and her excuse for how they were handling the child was that the parents refused to acknowledge their child was on the spectrum and needed help. While I'm sure there may be some truth to that, what I witnessed and what I experienced as a parent was absolutely heartbreaking. It has stuck with me for many years and after seeing many more stories about children on the spectrum being abused in centers like this, I felt I needed to make sure this was out there. There is another review mentioning abuse from this facility and I have no doubt this allegation is true. What I witnessed in those few days did prompt me to call CPS, but without proof they refused to take my complaint seriously and encouraged me to report this center which I did. Clearly, though it did not help. Please beware. Go somewhere else. read more

I really enjoy sending my child here. I toured other nearby daycares/montessori/reggio emilia style daycare and I'm really happy we chose this one. It's a really clean facility, well taken care of. The playground is large and tidy everyday. Great value, lots of options for different needs. The staff is great, professional, responsive, and kind. I love that safety is taken very seriously. Many gate codes to get in, not on a busy street, safe neighborhood, you can live stream the classroom, they keep you updated throughout the day. Most importantly you can trust your child will be taken care of. We did their summer program as well and they had lots of fun activities for the kids. read more

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. read more

Childtime of Orange - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Orange, California

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 set up 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. read more

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. read more

First Time Mamas! Going back to work after having to find someone to care for your newborn was the most stressful thing EVER. We toured many facilities and ended up enrolling our 5 month old in Childtime in early February. We have been there three months now and I wouldn't change it for anything! The teachers care and love on our sweet Colton like he is one of their own. How do I know that you ask? Part of enrolling your child here is that you are able to watch your baby all day if you would like on their cameras. That was the initial thing that put my husband and I at ease is that we could check in on him when we are missing him and see how he is doing. The first month was hard as his body and immune system were adjusting to being around a bunch of kids (but this would happen at any daycare facility). Ms. America and her staff were very compassionate about him being sick and our of daycare a lot but always checked in on him through their message system, the brightwheel app. I absolutely love the brightwheel app (which is the communication system between the teachers and parents) this tells me when he last ate, when he has a diaper change, when he naps. It is SO convenient when I pick him up I can see when he last ate so I know when to feed him next. Or I know how much he napped throughout the day to see if he will go to bed early. The app is seriously the best! The infant teachers have such a special heart and are one of a kind, and babies don't lie! Every morning when I go to drop off my son he is giving everyone the biggest smiles and even reaches out to them to be held. It definitely puts my mind at ease knowing that he loves where he is all day. So, thank you Childtime for loving my sweet boy and putting this anxious mama at ease :) read more

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 loving Vibe!! 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 child ". Puh-lease. If my kid is crying, I will take the time to reassure them, give them hugs, and then you'll see me bolt out of there to not be late for work. LOL. The teachers here are all so loving and nurturing. You really are leaving your kids in some amazing hands. Teachers have a huge heart full of love to give and you will definitely feel it and see it here. So stop reading this and check this place out! (I think right now due to covid, they are doing virtual tours via a zoom or Microsoft teams link. Don't quote me on it though. Things are fluid so what happened before in terms of virtual tours may have changed) read more

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. read more

Childtime of Orange has exceeding all of my expectations. We searched for months to find a daycare that my husband and I felt comfortable at to have our sweet daughter in and the moment we met Ms. America and Ms. Loren we knew we found it! We heard that Ms. America was the new director of that location and what an amazing job she has done. The small details she adds to the monthly decor makes you feel at home the minute you walk through the door. Ms. Loren helped us with all of the paperwork, answering all questions we had since this was the first time starting our daughter in daycare. Our daughter started at this location in the 1's classroom with four teachers. Ms. Erin, Ms. Rebecca, Ms. Karina, and Ms. Ana all played a key role on our daughters development in that class. They helped to transition our baby girl off of a pacifier within two weeks! Our daughter is now is the 2's class and absolutely loves it! Ms. Jen is her main teacher and is so kind. She takes time to give a detailed end of the day update when we pick her up and really takes the time to get to know each child. We thought the transition would be difficult but she is loving every minute! In all classes they have a set schedule with tons of outdoor play, dancing, reading, learning activity, and snack/meal times! We love this location because the teachers all work together and enjoy their jobs. Added benefits are definitely the "brightwheel" "watch me grow" apps! We are able to see our daughters nap time, eating schedule and occasionally photos and videos of their daily activity. We signed her up for weekly soccer classes (an extra class that is offered at this location) and they make sure to send photos and updates of her improvements! The app has an area for messages where we can ask how my daughter is doing or simply give them a heads up on an early pick up that day. Overall, we cant thank this location enough. We highly recommend any parents that are looking for a trustworthy and safe daycare to visit Childtime of Orange. read more

Just wanted to give a shout-out to the entire staff at this facility. Our son was enrolled here after having some issues at another facility. Little did we know that this was a blessing in disguise. The teachers and director, Ms. America, are great. They communicate very well on a daily basis and are quick to address any issues that arise. Ever since being enrolled here, our son seems to be in a much better mood and is always eager to share his day with us. We've seen a rapid improvement with his academics. We love the fact that the play area has wood chips instead of sand. This makes it much easier for cleanup. All of the children seem to be very close to each other and always give each other hugs when leaving. Whenever we pick up our son, there's always a teacher nearby watching closely to minimize accidents. We plan to enroll our newborn here as well as the entire staff seems very trustworthy and personable. Our son is currently enrolled in the Summer Camp at this location. It's great seeing all of the different activities and themes that occur each week. After reading the schedule of activities, I think I was more excited for my son than he was! The only downside is that we wish that we had enrolled our son here much sooner as he is to start Kindergarten this upcoming year. read more

BEST DAYCARE!!! We started at Child Time of Orange by accident. We were originally at another daycare (that I wasn't very excited about ) and it had an overnight flood that caused it to close for a day. I was in a pinch and called around to find last minute care. Child Time of Orange came through! After a 1 day visit I was obsessed. I am a first time time mom with a 6 month old. I wanted to feel excited about where I was leaving my new baby and this location checked all of my boxes. 1. Super friendly staff. All of the staff greet us every morning by name. They all have positive attitudes and enjoy their jobs. 2. Awesome learning activities for kids The infant room does painting activities, outside time, and numerous activities for their sensory development and growth. 3. Eating I really wanted to get my child to start eating solids and enjoy time to taste new foods. They encourage and help my child explore foods daily at lunch and snack. 4. Space This daycare had the biggest space for infants than any other daycare I had visited. The kids can really be in their own areas and not feel on top of one another. Our daughter is almost 11 months old and I can see how advanced she is for her age and really give most of that to her teachers here. This daycare is 30 minutes out of my way each morning but the secure feeling I have leaving my child here everyday is extremely worth it. Ms. America and Ms. Loren do a wonderful job of running the overall operations and I couldn't say enough good things about Ms. Denise, Ms. Kenise, and Ms. Elsa in the infant room. read more

The new Director Ms. America is doing a great job, she has made a lot of great improvements to the school! read more

See all

EXCEPTIONAL, AMAZING, WONDERFUL!!! Childtime of Orange is the absolute best! I am so thankful to have found this place for my son who is currently in the Toddler room. We didn't have a very good experience at a KinderCare so we were very cautious about placing our son in another daycare and we focused on all the details to make sure our son was in the best hands. First off, the facility is beautiful and in a very safe location. The playground and the classrooms are clean and tidy. I love having access to the cameras in the room so I can check in on my son throughout the day. The teachers send photos and updates on meals, diaper changes, naps and activities through the Bright Wheel app so I know what's going on in real-time instead of finding out at the end of the day. The program has a structured curriculum so my son is constantly learning new things. But what we love the most is how kind and supportive the Director and teachers have been to us and our son. Big thank you to the Director, Mrs. America, Mrs. Loren and teachers, Ms. Maria, Mrs. Liz, Ms. Lily, and Ms. Jessika! You are all so wonderful! I highly recommend this daycare center to everyone. Not only has our son been so happy here but he has also learned so much and the staff members are amazing! read more

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 on Cons. No accountability, no communication with each-other, rude, implements own parenting styles read more

The best of the best. These teachers are dedicated to nurturing and educating your precious little ones.

Such a wonderful school ! The new director Ms. America Is doing such a great job. The teachers are very kind and loving. So glad I transferred to this School. read more

Here we are a year later and my daughter is a smart, silly, fun loving toddler. At a year old (July) she transitioned into the toddler room with ease. She's talking and signing, thanks to childtime. She loves her friends and teachers. I could not have asked for a better environment for my daughter to be in while I'm at work. read more

I was really upset when we visited Childtime in Orange. We were looking for a new daycare as we were moving in to the area and saw that Childtime was close to our new home. After setting up a visit with them, they were very welcoming up until the point of visiting the rooms to where our son was going to be at. First off, we weren't allowed to enter the room for some odd reason and were only to see inside the room for the outside, looking in through frosted/tinted windows which made it hard to see inside. It was kind of odd how they set up the viewing that way. Second, we weren't able to interact with the teachers and ask them questions. We would have liked to talk to the individuals who would have been potentially taking care of our son. How do you expect us to make a decision for a place that will take care of our child for 6-8 hours a day and not interview those individuals that will be providing his care? All the other daycares we have visited has allowed us to speak to the teachers and get to know them and ENTER IN THE CLASSROOM; and not see them through the window like a fishbowl aquarium. read more

Best decision I've ever made to bring both my children here! Loving staff! Document everything child does throughout their day! You get a weekly sheet of the learning activities they will be doing. I'm very picky and I have a hard time trusting people with my children but defiantly not here I know my kids are in good hands ! I love that Staff keep you updated on what child's behavior of the day as in their naps, food, and play. read more

Do not put your child in the Childtime of Orange . The children are being abused everyday by the most unkind teachers .. Stay away from Ms Jens and Ms Melanie in the 2 to 3 year old ... these two woman constantly scream at the kids . It appears that they get very angry when the little ones make their lives a little difficult by just being 2 year olds ... The live camera has no sound so you would never hear the constant yelling . I sat so many times in the class during lunch with my 2.5 year old and I was shocked to see how children are being treated . They would leave them cry for a long time with zero empathy. You would question if they are human or just working machines !!! . Ms Jen barley said hello or good morning to me or my daughter upon arrival in the morning.. This is just basic human manner. I caught her on the camera pushing my daughter back because she wanted to grab a toy from the basket during clean up time , my little 2.5 year old daughter fell on the floor and Ms Jen didn't even bother to help her get up. I was in tears. I brought up all these concerns to the Director Ms America but sadly not much was done.. .. Parents: these years are the most important and critical years of your child development . The stress from daycares like Childtime can have a long term negative impact on your growing children and their future. Please please think twice before enrolling your child here. The lack of patience and kindness from the teachers here is a form of abuse. We took out our daughter to a different school in the area and that was the best decision we made .. Our daughter is being treated with respect and love,. She is thriving, learning and is so excited everyday about going to school now read more
