Our son was in the class since he was 18 months old, mainly because he is extremely social and likes being around other kids. He has a young (baby) sister, that he is too big to play with, so half day daycare seemed a great option. Everything was great until Christmas, which, somehow we were the ONLY parents not told to bring a present for my son to unwrap, so he got no gift at the Christmas party. We asked why, and were told since he was not in a full day class, the note never got sent home... but other half day kids got the note.. OK whatever, he is only 2 (phew) and does not know what not getting a present is.... still bothers us as he was very upset he did not have a toy to play with at the party, and we left early because of that. His teacher felt horrible and bought him a toy the next day. After that, the teachers changed and the daily reports went to crap. Instead of knowing what he did that day, so we could followup, we always got "he had a good day and ate pretzels". Good, what did he learn, how was his temper, did he hit anyone, how is his vocabulary coming, is he less frustrated? All useful info, pretzel consumption is a given, hes German. The straw that really made us second guess enrollment was a more serious issue with a bruise on my sons hip. The school had no idea how it happened, and we did not see it when we clothed him the morning before school. Because we could not identify the bruise "someone" (its anonymous) called Child Protective Services, reporting that very same specific bruise under my sons pants line on his hip. The only other people who change my son are the teachers at the school, we are not stupid. The bruise was the exact height of a kids wooden table (which the school has a few of) and was a straight line across his hip bone -- he ran into the table is my best guess. Eva, the administrator just kept repeating she cannot confirm nor deny the call, but listened to me as I vented, I knew full well it was either her calling, or she had full knowledge of the call. There was not an attempt to reach out to us as parents, even though we ask every day how his temper was, did he hit, etc etc.... there was no "we are concerned your son has a bruise", there was nothing besides calling about a potentially abused little boy. So now, CPS has the right to come into my home 2 more times, and make sure my son is not "being beaten with sticks, and/or sleeping on cardboard boxes and has a "personal space" similar to a closet or room"... with all due respect. my sons room is the biggest in the house. My Sons toyroom (a whole separate room!) is the second biggest in the house. He has a mattress in his crib costing more than mine, and (was) going to your facility so he could have fun and learn every day. We withdrew my son on 4/27 and enrolled him in a Sunday school program which meets a few days a week. He seems much happier being home with mommy more. In our case, we do not need a full day babysitter, we just are doing this to enrich my sons young life. The 2 star rating is due to the incidents outlined above, the teaching staff and aides were always very nice to us in person, the facility is clean and secure. It is a shame their policies require them to make parents look like criminals.

As a first time mother I stressed over the decision of sending my daughter to daycare. The thought of leaving my first newborn with "strangers" impacted me both emotionally and physically. I researched for months on the perfect daycare for my daughter, if that even existed. After coming to grips with the reality of having to leave my daughter with a daycare provider, I knew it was up to me to find her the best one. I was so fortunate and blessed to have found Ms. Eva and her Prime Time Daycare center. She along with her professional staff was not only helpful but they truly made me feel at ease. Eva was tremendous in allowing my daughter to attend daycare free of charge for a couple of days to make sure we were all a perfect match. We were allowed access to the daycare main floor to meet the other children and staff members. We had a great tour of the facility (which was very clean and well kept). My anxiety quickly turned into relief and a sense of burden was lifted off my shoulders. As I watched my daughter interact with the staff and other children I realized that my daughter benefitted from daycare. As a first time mother it made it a lot easier for me to send my daughter to daycare when I felt that I was doing something to help her rather than doing so simply so I can just go to work. Eva and her staff accommodated all my daughters needs to include mines which I could not be so thankful for. As I watched my daughter interact with the other kids, she quickly learned how to assert herself with the others and instantly made friends. This is because Prime Time Daycare promotes a positive environment which allows and encourages children to develop and learn to socialize with others. Being in the military I am accustomed to structure and Prime Time was very structured and consistent with their schedules with the children. The staff-to-child ratio is great with a staff member having to provide supervision to three kids at the most. I know that the daycare cannot guarantee that accidents will not happen (lets face it, children are very mobile and adventurous) but when an accident did occur, Ms. Eva was immediately on the phone calling me to tell me of the situation. If you are looking for a top-tier daycare who truly cares about the health, welfare, and progression of your child, Prime Time Daycare is the school that you are looking for. Once you realize the benefits of what Prime Time can offer to not only your child but to you as a parent, this will be truly the best decision you make. I forgot to mention that Prime Time Daycare provides daily report cards for your child and even cute "pictures of the day." You have instant access to the staff via phone call and they are always accommodating. This is no ordinary daycare, its a place for your child to grow and truly will become a second home for your child. Constance Blaize

I cannot express in words how much Primetime Early Learning Center means to myself and family. Over the last eight years Primetime has become like a “second family” to us. I am very fortunate to have found such a wonderful place for my three daughters to spend their time while my husband and I are at work. The staff is the most loving, caring, nurturing and attentive people I have known. It is a wonderful feeling to know that they were just as proud and excited to share in all of my children’s accomplishments as I was, whether it be; her first step, first words, learning her ABC’s, tying her shoe or learning how to write her name. Each and every staff member has had a positive impacted on my children’s lives as they have moved throughout the different classes. My daughters graduated from the Pre-K program and were more than ready for Kindergarten. Primetime’s program focuses on developing a well- rounded child through a multi-sensory learning environment and getting them ready for the next class and the future. The staff is always ready to meet the needs of each individual child. They have made lifelong friends whom they continue to spend time after leaving daycare. I am so very grateful to everyone at Primetime and would highly recommend Primetime to anyone who is looking for an exceptional program for their children.
