Childtime on Harbourside

★★★★★Mikayla Fonville

Mrs Ragan is an amazing director! She went above and beyond to help my husband and I when a situation occurred. She handled it with professionalism, grace, and understanding as a fellow parent. My son is adjusting well to this Childtime from moving from a Maryland Childtime. The staff is friendly, warm/welcoming and understanding. I would recommend this Childtime to any parent that is looking for daytime care!

We joined Childtime at the Harbourside location in 2022 when my son was 11 months old. As a new mom, I was anxious to leave my baby in a new environment. Unlike most daycares in the area, Childtime has cameras in all of the child rooms and I would probably spend most of my days on the app just making sure he was doing ok. But after a while and a change in the director/assistant director, I know that I can leave my babies (I now have a 1 year old and 4 year old attending) and not have to worry about anything. I have talked to so many parents that have concerns with their daycare centers and having high teacher turnover. One of the many things I love about Childtime Harbourside is that the teachers that have always had my heart and that have taken care of my four year old are now taking care of my 1 year old. They have always loved on my kids and we are so fortunate to have them as a part of our everyday lives. (Shout out to Ms. Anna, Ms. Sophia, Ms. Caitlin, Ms. Kether, and Ms. Katie that have been our day ones since starting Childtime Harbourside). And of course, I should add, that all of the teachers that are currently there, as I am typing this, are angels. We've only had the most positive experiences with the teachers past and present. Ms. Ragan (Director) and Ms. Susan (Assistant Director) work incredibly hard to ensure the kids are happy and in a safe environment. They ensure that all class rooms maintain the legal guidelines of teacher to child ratio and (I have witnessed) support their teachers so well. I can always talk to them about a plan that best support my kids and have always been communicative, responsive and direct for all questions that I have had. I would obviously give this place more than five stars, it really is the best.

We absolutely love this Childtime! Both of our kids spent several years here from the Toddler class through Pre-K. It was an incredible experience, and we really felt like we found a new family. Ms. Ragan and Ms. Susan are some of the most awesome, patient, and caring individuals I have ever met and my kids absolutely adore them. Both Ms. Ragan and Ms. Susan, along with the teachers and staff, are great at communicating and I always knew what my kids were learning/doing in class. I also appreciated how well the regular day-to-day activities balanced learning with play. I strongly believe that this really helped prepare my kids for success in Elementary school! They had already learned things that their peers were only hearing about/starting to learn for the first time. I was also thrilled that this Childtime offered extra/optional activities that my kids could do during the day (like soccer, kidokinetics, and dance). There is an extra fee, but my kids really enjoyed these and it saved me so much time! I wholeheartedly recommend this Childtime to anyone who is looking for a nurturing and safe place where curiosity is encouraged.

My grandson moved with his family to Virginia when he was about two years old. There is always a hesitancy when moving to a new place and especially when there is a young child involved. From the time you drop your child off in the morning until the time they’re picked up in the afternoon, you feel the professionalism and quality of care is consistent. As my grandson progressed from one classroom to the next, each classroom teacher displayed concern and care about the individual differences of the children in their care. The children are engaged in learning activities for their age level and communication between the staff and parents is amazing. The children in their care are made to feel special and my grandson continues to go back to visit with the administration and staff at Childtime. I highly recommend the Harbourside Childtime on 6300 Harbourside Drive in Midlothian Virginia.

We found ChildTime on Harbourside while being new to the area and after touring several daycares. ChildTime really stood out because of the decent pricing, nice facility, excellent curriculum, and wonderful staff. My daughter has adjusted really well! She loves all of the staff members, is making new friends, and is learning a lot. I appreciate that they are truly preparing the Pre-K class for kindergarten. I also love participating in their events. The Sprout About app is great. I love being able to check in on my daughter. Her previous daycare didn’t have that. The daycare also partners with several other organizations that makes it easy for your kid to participate in extracurriculars. My daughter attends a dance class once a week right there in the school and will be doing a recital as well. I definitely recommend ChildTime on Harbourside to other families 😊
