Childtime on Eastwood Avenue 2145 Eastwood Avenue, Akron, OH 44305

"They are great. Very welcoming people work here."

"Lovely teachers and staff who go above and beyond for the children. I love the security cameras and brightwheel- an app that allows constant communication from family to teacher. This is so much more than daycare... I love this school!"

"Rude and disrespectful people"

"Let me just go ahead and begin by saying how fortunate I am with the option of being a stay-at-home mom for my child. A friend of mine, who also is a stay-home mom, took our children to Memorial Park in Tallmadge. We had a great picnic lunch packed and we was really looking forward to spending the day at the park with our kids. A bus from Child Time pulled in and about 15 children get off of the bus with two employees from the child care center. We thought it was really neat that they did that for the children you know.... Brought them to the park to have lunch and play. Well once all the children finished their food and began to play we just figured that all the kids had a lot of energy to burn. Let me just go ahead and tell you how disappointed I am in the events that followed. To begin with, my friend and I definitely felt that the way the two staff members were speaking to the kids was beyond inappropriate and if it was one of our kids at that facility we would IMMEDIATELY remove them from their care!!! Following these observations...Our children continuously would come to us crying because they were either being pushed, they were being bullied, they were having their toys taken from them, or they were not being given turns on all the different playground equipment. All this happening while the day cares employees sat on a bench (not even close to the area the children were playing) talking amongst themselves and on their phones not providing 100% of their attention to the children they were being paid to look after. We decided that it was time for us to intervene. So we went over and would ask them to give our children turns to please don't run up the slides what are kids were trying to go down them, to please pay attention to our smaller children that were definitely big differences and their age gaps. All these events were taking place over about an hour or more time frame. My breaking point came when a little boy came down a ladder when my daughter was more than 2/3rds the way up and crushed her fingers then started laughing about it... At that exact moment another little girl with their group shoved my friends daughter off the slide and she fell from the top to the ground into the rocks. Now if you have a child that attends this place and says someone at the park flipped out... As I told the director, I am truly sorry for the profanity that came out my mouth. But I got to my breaking point and the words that came out of their staff members mouth sent me over the edge. After asking the staff were they seriously going to just continuously sit there laughing and having a good ol time ignoring these kids and allowing our children to get hurt?! She had the audacity to ask me why I had to be yelling rather than asking them to come over and take care of the situation. Are we so serious?!?!! I have to ask you to get up and come over to the group of children that you are being paid to watch and take care of them?!? YOU ARE BEING PAID TO BE HERE TAKING CARE OF THESE CHILDREN!!!!! So as we gathered our children and our picnic I called that facility and spoke with the assistant director. She was at the park within 10 minutes of my call. I filed a formal complaint and truly apologized for cussing in front of the children. But the fact that this even happened I am beyond appalled. In respect to the parents of the little girl that is roughly 9 years old... She was at the day care today in a pretty summer dress with sparkly dress shoes... We need more parents like you!!! Your child was the only one there today that had any manners was polite. She was very respectful and did not participate in the disrespectful behavior as the other children. All you other parents, I know the day care staff are fully at fault for their actions and not doing the job they're paid to do... But really!!!! Teach your children manners and how to be respectful. You should be ashamed of yourself!!!!"

"My child has been attending Childtime since she was 6 weeks old. I have always been happy with the quality of care she recieves from the staff. The building is always clean and you are greeted with a smile. Thank you Childtime for always going above and beyond what is asked of you to make my daughter feel special and loved."
