Childtime of Holland

"Everything was fine until a few weeks ago when new staff arrived and they changed the entire system! My son has been in this daycare for 4 years and due to the new changes in the schedule, chaos has arisen... people work and have their established schedules, I don't understand how to get there from one day to the next and change everything"

"Overall a pretty good place, we've been going here for a while now. Staff are nice and pleasant to interact with, kids are treated well and learn a lot during their time at daycare. The biggest problem with the Holland location is the security. I and other parents have complained for a while now about the front door not closing and locking shut. I personally have escalated this four times over the last year and the door STILL does not function properly. The last thing they did was take a grinder to the base of the door to remove some type of interference, it worked for a few months but as of this week the door is still not working. Other things to note regarding the security of this place- People walk in off the street. The last time the door wasn't working a guy walked in off the street looking to use the bathroom. My wife witnessed a staff member kick him out. For a while they had a sign on the door "make sure the door closes behind you" -- WHY are we doing this rather than just FIXING THE DOOR!?! If it continues I'm removing my kids from this place and escalating to the MI Dept of Child Services."

"I am surprised at the negative reviews people have posted. This place has been an answer to prayers for us. We experienced two different day care facilities, both of which closed down. We were so lucky to find a spot for our first child in this Childtime and have since brought our second child there. The teachers and directors are all amazingly wonderful people with unlimited love and patience towards all the children. The kids are constantly learning new things. They have a curriculum program for each age group and are responsive and empathetic towards each child's individual needs. The safety measures they have in place have also given us a true sense of confidence that our children will remain safe and healthy while in their care. I cannot say enough good things about this center. When you've seen what a bad daycare is, it's a blessing to be able to send your kids to an amazing one like the Childtime of Holland. Put your trust in them - you won't be disappointed."

"I have to be honest... reading the other reviews on here sounds nothing like the amazing place I bring my son to for daycare. The teachers are absolutely AMAZING along with the director. For this being my first child and having to send him to daycare I have to admit at first I did not trust anyone with him. He's been threw 3 different rooms there with different teachers and they are all absolutely amazing. I cannot say enough good things about Childtime."

"I would NOT recommend this childcare facility. I was skeptical when I first sat down with the director and had a tour. My almost 2 year old attended and was only there for not even 3 full weeks. Each week there was a RED FLAG. One day I watched during my sons nap time during my lunch break and his teacher Carrie roughly laid my son down THREE times while "training" an individual, and decided to forcefully place her elbow into the back of his neck and forced him into the floor to stay laying. This lady was out of work the night before because she was home with a sick kid, so I'm sure very tired and irritated!! But unfortunately my son was the one who was punished for her sleepless nights. AND NOT ONCE, did the other lady stop her and say lets trade spots or hey do NOT do that, NOT ONCE. When I complained and sat down with the director of the facility, she decided to give a tour and step away from a crying, hurting mother ! NOT only unprofessional, but very noticeable that she does not have kids. Anyone could've done the tour, but she did not want to support the fact that this was NOT OK. I sent my child here for the convenience, NEVER again will I not listen to my gut when something doesn't feel OK. I thank GOD he allowed me to be watching at that time. Now, my son suffers from being terrified to lay down for a nap. Please keep us in prayers. And please don't send your children here !"
