Childtime of Elk Grove

"my little cousin is two years old and was not being supervised while outside , her and 2 other toddlers were able to get out of the gates and away . A UPS driver found the babies and brought them back to they daycare . Staff had no reconciliation of the children being gone and the mother was not notified of the incident until hours after the fact . When asked to see footage , they required her to come down and view it , in the footage a pole is covering the camera so barely any of the incident was caught on camera .they changed their story two times first saying they found the children outside but then revealed a ups driver did . I have a 2 month old son and places like this are the reason I’m so scared to leave my child anywhere . Don’t leave your children here .they clearly do not watch them how they need to be"

"Would not recommend leaving your child here if you actually care for their safety and well being my child was able to escape the gate on the play yard and be in the parking lot for X amount of time (they showed me "footage" of her getting out of the gate. There was a pole blocking the camera view so I couldn't see any of it I never even got to see my child be brought back in from the parking lot) I was originally told it was really quick and the staff brought the kids back in the facility from the parking lot. But when I seen the footage and didn't see anyone bring my daughter back because they only showed me 3 minutes of footage that didn't even show the Peking lot they got out to or them actually getting out of the gate. I asked when did someone bring my child back and who grabbed her I was THEN told for the first time a WEEK after the incident that a UPS driver that just happened to make a deliver there seem the kids and brought them back in. I don't understand if 2 staff memebers were outside how did they not realize 3 were missing. They are required to do a checklist every morning on the play yard and whoever did it didn't notice the gate was unlocked. And the teachers did not notice the kids playing with and opening the gate. Not to mention my child is 2 and barely speaks. This happened during a.m. play time and they didn't alert me until 3pm. I feel like they are trying to cover up how long the children where in the parking lot they are on a busy street I just thank god for placing that UPS worker right there because this could've been a horrible outcome."

"Caught one of the teachers telling the 2 yos she would throw them in the trash! They mix big kids and little ones in early mornings then get mad at the little ones when they model the big kids bad behavior. They have a high staff turnover and poor management. The teachers in the younger age were good but I regret every day I left my child there beyond that!"

"My granddaughter, aged 2 years and 6 months, has been at Childtime of Elk Grove since she turned 2 in April of this year. Due to the kindness, the care and the overall ambience of a a happy and motivating group of teachers, support staff and administration, I am very content to leave her there in their care every day. There has not been a day that she has come home unhappy; instead she is always a ball of happy energy with lots to chatter about in the car on the way home. I look forward to dropping her off and seeing how excited she is to see her teachers and friends. Thank you to everyone at Childtime in Elk Grove for all you do."

"Child time is such a nurturing and positive environment for my little ones. My 5 year old started attending when she was 8 months old and still loves to visit her former teachers. Presently my 1 year old baby is attending and I love how much she has learned in such a short time. The teachers and staff are always welcoming and kind. The center is clean and sanitized daily. The different curriculums for the different rooms are always shared with parents. I love that my baby and her friends are in a safe center full of laughter, growth and joy. If you are a parent looking for a great child care center, I recommend you book a tour to see it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed! ❤️"
