I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kids Time! We originally found them through a coworker who had a great experience with her daughter, and I am so grateful she recommended them to us. From my very first conversation with the director about their teaching philosophy to meeting the warm and caring teachers, I knew this was the right place for my kids. My daughter attended Kids Time for a little over a year during 2022-2023, and my son attended for about a year and a half during 2025-2026. What meant the most to me was being able to completely trust the people caring for my children. I could see the positive impact Kids Time had on both of them, and they always spoke so happily about their time there. They both absolutely love Ms. Leo and Ms. Tanya. My daughter still remembers them and misses them, and I know my son will miss them very much as well. I am incredibly grateful to all of the teachers and staff at Kids Time for the care, patience, and love they gave my children. They truly made such a positive impression on our family. I constantly recommend Kids Time to friends and coworkers who are looking for a preschool or daycare, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, nurturing, and wonderful place for their children. read more

My son started a few months ago and I see so much change in his personality and overall mood. He sings and dances randomly and talks about his dance parties at school. He loves the yoga they do and the songs he hears on the piano during music class. He is happy to go to "school" and asks to come! I'm so happy I made the change and found this gem. Ms. Leo and Ms. Tanya are great and super attentive to my son's needs. If you are looking for a place where your child can thrive, this is it! read more

If you are a parent struggling to find the right daycare for your toddler, Kids Time Montessori is the absolute answer. My daughter really struggled at her first daycare due to its cold, business-like environment. Even though that facility was just two minutes from our house, I knew we needed a change--and that is when we found Kids Time. From my very first conversation with Ms. Renuka, I felt completely at ease. After visiting the school and meeting Ms. Renuka, Miss Leo, and Miss Tanya, I knew the energy here was entirely different. The 20-minute drive would become well worth it. Fast-forward to my daughter's last day, and I am truly heartbroken to leave. These beautiful, smart, strong, and kind women taught my daughter to love learning, showed her how to be brave when nervous, and built up her confidence in ways that completely impress me. They provided the perfect balance of kindness, friendship, and sincerity alongside structure and routine. It gave us immense peace of mind knowing she was completely safe while we were at work. On top of that, the teachers are incredibly observant; they always pointed out early signs of earaches or just "off days" at pickup so we would be aware. My heart is heavy to say goodbye, but I feel incredibly blessed that my daughter spent such an important developmental chapter of her life with these wonderful people. Thank you, Kids Time! read more

We couldn't have asked for a better preschool experience. From the very first day, the teachers welcomed our child with open arms and open hearts. They are not only incredibly knowledgeable and nurturing, but they treat each child as if they were their own -- with so much love, patience, and genuine care. Every morning, our child was excited to go to school, and always came home eager to share something new they learned. That joy and comfort came from the environment the teachers created -- one where every child is seen, valued, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. The communication with families was always thoughtful and consistent, and it was clear the entire staff was deeply invested in each child's development -- socially, emotionally, and academically. We are forever grateful for the strong foundation this preschool gave our child. Although, our child only spent around 10 months there. The memories made here will stay with us for a lifetime, and the love and guidance from the teachers will always hold a special place in our hearts. We thank the teachers for cheering on and for loving our child like one of your own. You made school a place they were excited to run into each morning -- and that's a gift we'll never forget. Highly, highly recommend to any family looking for a warm, exceptional start to their child's learning journey. read more

My girl went to preschool here from ages 3 to 5 and it was the best thing we could have done for her. She made great friends, learned so much and above all enjoyed herself. Loved the whole staff!

Kids Time was a great blessing to our family. When our daughter turned two, we enrolled her in there and each day that we picked her up from school she was always in great spirits & was never sick.

The teachers were always very kind and considerate to scheduling requests. This preschool treats their students like family & we are grateful for the care that they have given our daughter. read more

My son attended kidtime for almost a year. We only left because he started T-K. We loved it here. His teachers were very attentive, they would tell us how his day was, what he ate and didn't like, and if he had an accident, things like that. They integrated lots of toddler learning activities/topics, did a lot of art projects and seasonal photos with the kids that they often sent him home with. Ms Leo and Ms Tanya help our son grow so much with the little time they were with him. I only wish we put him in sooner. read more

NEW Kids Time Montessori daycare provided our th the best care a parent can ask for the last 3 years. I was apprehensive about sending my son to a child care facility especially after the pandemic. However, from the beginning any doubts that I had were soon stopped because of the amazing staff that have so much heart and a caring mindset for their students and parents. It has been wonderful seeing our child get excited about going to daycare here. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualized way and communicate very often in progress. The director is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for the teachers, children and parents. I highly recommend Kids Time Montessori daycare.

Kids time is a great, smaller preschool that focuses on kids 2-6. They have a set schedule, that includes free play, circle time and art. The owner is big on music being a part of development, which my son loves. But the best part of Kids Time is the main teacher, Ms. Leo. She is everything you want a kids teacher to be. read more

My daughter goes here. This a beautiful place to send your children. They are hands on learning, they give hugs, and really treat your child like their own.

We started about 1 1/2 months ago bringing my almost 3 yr old daughter here. She normally stayed 5 days a week with one of her 2 grandmothers that she loves. But in the past month she would rather go to school her 3 days a week then grandmother houses. The teachers are great with her. At the beginning she would cry every morning and one of the morning teachers would pick her up walk over the the morning lessen plan and have her sit in their laps. By the time I would walk out the door she was done crying. Also just in the little time she has been going here she has started talking so much more and starting to make sentences and tries to sing the alphabet. I recommend this place ! They are great. read more

We have been so happy and thankful to have found a place where our son is safe and cared for like family. Our son came in right when he turned 2 -years old and he was under the speaking range for his age (due to his prematurity) and in one month of attending Kids Time, his at home speech services were cut down to twice a month now. Kids time has provided our son with a nurturing place, learning and with enrichment activities. He is 2 1/2 and knows his ABC song and is identifying what letters and numbers are, sits down during story time (his attention span has improved drastically) and is better at following instructions. At this rate, he is sure to exit speech services. I am for ever grateful for the teachers and Kids Time that truly care for the children. Do not give it a second thought, enroll your child NOW! You and your child will come to love this little place just as much as we have. read more

My son has attended Kids Time for the past three years and I can't say enough great things about this place. Working for child protective services I was terrified to put my son into a daycare but man was it the best thing we ever did. This place has helped my son grow in so many ways. He just started kindergarten and I feel he is already ahead of the game due to Kids Time. They set him up for success and he already knows his ABC's, can write his name, his numbers, and reward and consequences in the classroom. I was so thankful that he walked into his new "big boy" school with such confidence and no breakdowns. I look forward to him coming back here for holidays and summer breaks. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking. Thank you to the Kids Time staff and for all you have done for us. You all go over and beyond and i felt like you were an extension to our family. We love and appreciate you. read more

Hello everyone, I literally can not say enough good things about this place. But the most important thing I can say is when I drop my daughter off I have no doubt that she is in the hands of loving people who treat her as if she was their own. My daughter, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was two years old (requiring insulin shots, carb counting, and sugar checks every few hours) so leaving her with people who were not aware of how to manage her diabetes was not in the question. I'm so thankful that I stumbled across Kids Time, walking in one of the teachers had already dealt with Diabetes so that was a huge relief. Then to witness her teachers dive in and learn how to care for my daughter was not just beautiful, but powerful. They all got together discussed my daughter's needs and found a way to make it work. These ladies at Kids Time are angels watching over our children everyday not just staff members that's the difference. Kids Time is a place filled with love. If I could give them more stars I would. read more

I had been looking for a daycare that I could trust and feel secure with when I found this little gem. I have been having my twins go here for over two years and I love it!

I recommend this daycare to anyone that is looking for a trustful place to take their kids. read more

Yet she can be very firm and professional, making sure that the teachers are doing their jobs responsibly and accordingly to titles22 laws and regulations. read more

Great place for children. My daughter attended at age 2 and by 3 she was writing her name, identifying letters/numbers/sight words. On top of that, the staff is amazing. They genuinely love kids. They assist in potty training. They serve breakfast, lunch and snacks. My second daughter also attended for preschool and because of this facility she was definitely ready for kindergarten. I knew this was a great place because each of my girls had to hug each teacher before leaving for the day. The homey atmosphere makes for a cozy center to learn in. They know what they are doing here. Mrs. Renuka Samath is a wonderful musician and I love that she brings music to the children. I can honestly say that I trust her and her staff of teachers with my children. read more

I have never met a more wonderful, kind hearted person than the director, Ms. Renuka. She cares about each student and makes all kids and parents feel like family. She goes out of her way during holidays, putting time, money and effort into events making sure no kid is left out. I brought my son to this school at two years old, he is now ten and still loves going! read more

One of the greatest decision I have made this year has been stopping by this school in January. The first time I walked in there I knew I had found a place that I felt comfortable with having my child at. Her teachers are so positive and uplifting, and the director Mrs. Ranuka makes you feel like you're part of the family. She has developed an environment that I have seen my child thrive in beyond anything we ever expected and we are forever grateful! If you are looking for quality care with great curriculum and a fun environment his is the place to check out. Thank you again Kids Time for always making us feel at home, It's hard for us parents to even get them out the door at the end of the day. read more

Both of my kids have attended Kids Time Montessori for preschool and our family loves this place! My son attended from the age of 2-3, then we moved an hour and a half away. As soon as we moved back to Riverside, I enrolled my daughter here and she is currently attending full time for preschool. The education that Kids Time provides is amazing and I have no doubt that my daughter will be ready for kindergarden in the fall. She is learning how to count, write letters and her name, recognize sight words - and she's even learning Spanish and American Sign Language! In addition to providing an amazing start for the children's education, the staff is a great source of support for families. The teachers and the owner don't just 'deal with the kids and send them home' at the end of the day: They actually communicate and work with the parents on everything from potty training to behavioral issues. I always say that daycare providers and preschool teachers aren't just watching your kids - They're raising your kids while you work. If my children are going to be spending hours a day away from me, I'm glad it's here where I know that they're safe, happy and healthy. I fully recommend Kids Time Montessori to any parents looking for a quality preschool or after school care. read more

My granddaughter went to Kids Time for preschool at the recommendation of a parent whose children went there several years ago. I cannot express the gratitude I have for the owner and staff of Kids Time. My granddaughter needed the caring, knowledgeable and loving atmosphere they provided. When she started kindergarten last year, she was already past most of her peers because of their curriculum. This summer I was lucky enough to place her once again at Kids Time. Wow, I have never seen her so happy. From going to movies, swimming, park, and other excellent activities, she cannot wait to go again in the summer of 2015. thanks to everyone at Kids Time for loving my granddaughter!!!! I forgot to mention that the breakfast and lunch are awesome. If you want a place where your child will be loved and nurtured, please check out this school. read more

My son has been attending this Center for almost a year now, i enrolled him when he was almost 3yrs old. This was the first time ever enrolling my son in a Daycare center. My son is almost 4 now, as I'm getting ready to enroll him in a private school to start pre-k he first had to be tested. Kids Time Montessori follows a daily learning lesson plan, this center's curriculum has honestly given my son a head start to attend pre-school. During the time here i have never had an issue with the staff/Director. This was an excellent choice of mine to enroll my child here at this Center. read more
