We absolutely LOVE Goodtimes Child Care Center!!!…read more It's been years since we've found a center where we genuinely feel like our child is cared for, loved, and protected. Our little one started here at just 2 years old, and as a mom who struggles with the worst anxiety when it comes to leaving my babies in someone else's care, I can honestly say this place has given me nothing but **grace, love, and peace of mind.** The sense of protection I feel here is honestly astonishing. The staff are AMAZING! They are supportive, welcoming, warm, patient, and genuinely caring. You can feel the love they have for the children, and that means EVERYTHING to us as parents. Our child has grown so much here, and one of my favorite things is hearing him come home talking about his teachers and calling them "Aunty." Where I'm from, that's a huge sign of respect and comfort. Finding a place where your child feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away from them is priceless. We are so grateful for every teacher and staff member who pours into our child each day. **Goodtimes, thank you for loving our baby like your own.** We appreciate you more than you know!

DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE!!! I can't even begin to…read moredescribe how poorly treated I was when I addressed concerns with the owner/director Crystal. I had emailed Crystal regarding teacher, Ms. Alisa who would show up in crop tops daily and I felt it wasn't appropriate or professional for a children's setting. Not only that, but addressed concerns for Ms. Alisa acting like she did not want to be at work, not greeting parents, etc. I received an email back and was told not to judge her staff on what they wear and was told if it isn't concerning the quality of care she didn't want to deal with it. She was very defensive in the email, and I had expressed that I wanted her to contact me. Shortly after she said she will not call me and was finished with the discussion. I called the center THREE times and was sent to voicemail. This is not the first time I've had concerns, I've addressed concerns with lack of diaper changes/rashes, the way I heard staff treating children, and was treated disrespectfully and told I was lying. When I went to pick my son up today, after being ignored by the director I wanted to speak to her and she proceeded to yell at me and told me she was done with the conversation, I asked her how am I supposed to bring my child here and she said "YOUR NOT", meanwhile Ms. Alisa was standing there and I said no offense to her, I just feel as wearing belly shirts is inappropriate and she slammed the door in my face on my way out. Mind you INFRONT of children. This is no way to treat a customer, but if I'm getting treated this way as a parent, how are the children getting treated??? How is this center open with an owner that cannot be professional? I will say, Ms. Jess, Ms. Lucy, Ms. Nicole, Ms. Sherilynn, and Ms. Adrienne were PHENOMENAL. However concerns with management will NOT be dealt with appropriately. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE, no a good environment for children. Please feel free to reach out to me, I have documentation to support this. Go somewhere you as a parent will be respected, that way you KNOW your child is respected.

This place has gone from great to disgusting and unsafe over the past couple of years. Management…read morehas turned over a couple of times since then and teacher staff is now a revolving door. We just pulled our daughter out of there because they aren't even pretending to apply a curriculum for pre-k. They're babysitters, now, and not even very good ones at that. Most recently, we found soiled clothing stuffed into her backpack with her other clothing, sheet, and blanket. Not in a bag, just right into her backpack which now is soaked with urine. My four-year-old doesn't often have accidents, but good lord, what lazy, thoughtless person thought this was ok? During the pandemic, staff was supposed to be masked. Almost daily, either on dropoff or pickup, there were staff seen in classrooms or in the office (the part parents and kids walk though) either completely without a mask or the mask pulled down. Every time I brought it up, I was told that they'd "mention it in a staff meeting" or confirm that yes, it is their policy for staff to mask up. Regardless of your views on masking, the fact that they just didn't enforce their own policies that are supposed to be in place for safety, is unacceptable. The owner, Tom, also spread misinformation during the pandemic regarding masks and other preventive measures via signage posted at the center and at the summer camp location. This place started going down hill quickly when the director (a couple of directors ago, I think) left. Andrea was the last good one, but it was clear that she was being hamstrung from actually doing anything good there. I know it's tough finding a child care center these days, but please, if you have the option, look elsewhere. I'm sure there are other places just as bad or worse, but I no longer trust this place to keep my child safe and certainly not to prepare her for kindergarten. The dozen or teachers who have cycled through that room in the past few months have been uninterested in getting to know the kids, have completely ignored kids who clearly needed attention, were downright mean to kids (witnessed during dropoff on numerous occasions). If you can help it, please trust your children to another center. Also, the five star review that this is updating was written with the promise of a starbucks giftcard. I'm not sure how many other positive reviews are genuine.

I don't believe a child has ever been stolen, wow. The staff is loving, caring and professional at all times. The care that children get here far surpasses anywhere else. This is an establishment that goes above and beyond on a daily basis, not only do they make sure that every child is in excellent care, they go beyond expectations when it comes down to giving back to and being a strong pillar of support in the community. This is not a corporate type for profit center, you know the franchise names- this is a family owned and ran center. Their hearts and hands go into making this an excellent choice for anyone considering or needing excellent quality care for their children. Yes parking maybe tight, but it's an urban area and that's just par for the course.

Both Nanny & Families -…read more After careful consideration as I hate to disparage anyone, I decided to convey my experience.  I have over 20 years experience as a nanny and a caregiver with excellent references. I also have extensive professional corporate experience in executive positions.  My last charge was a year ago and I decided it was time to love another young one. I find great enjoyment in teaching children.  I contacted Madison after seeing a position I was very much peaked my interest.  The response from Madison was " You sound great and I would love to interview you! I am currently on leave and conducting all of my interviews via Skype or Facetime."  I responded that I did not use Skype (archaic type of video chat) and had an Android. However suggested we could do Facebook messenger as video chat or an initial telephone interview.  Madison responded with "FB messenger is definitely an option, let's do that!" And set a meeting time.  The meeting time came and went with no contact from Madison. I called and left her a VM as well as reached out via email with no response to our missed meeting. I wish I had read all the reviews prior to applying and wasting my valuable time. This is an issue with her. And while she continues to apologize and/or make excuses it appears this is ongoing for years.  In my experience this nanny serive will let down both the nanny and families with the lack of follow through, professionalism and consistent excuses as to why it failed (her previous responses) Hopefully in the future she will realize the value of others time.

Madison truly cares about finding the right fit for both the family and the nannies. We've worked with other nanny finding services but no one else has given the same care and compassion that Westside Nanny provided. She really took the time to understand our family dynamics and make suggestions on what qualities to look for in a nanny. We have a very busy family schedule and Madison made sure that she screened all the candidates and only recommended the quality people that she felt would be a good fit for our kids. Interviewing candidates can be so time consuming and stressful but Madison was able to give us the highest quality options for a nanny. Madison really considers the feelings of both the families and nannies and strives to find the perfect match. We are very fortunate to have worked with someone who has a passion for her business. We can't thank her enough for what she's done for us and we would highly recommend her to anyone seeking quality child care.
