After touring several local schools, I knew this one was "the one" after about 5 minutes. I was a working mom, heading back to the working world and very hesitant and nervous about putting my 10 week old son in care.
The tour:
I was greeted by a sunny, smiling Director- Tiffany. She was confident in her school and didn't exactly need to sell me on anything...the school, teachers and curriculum spoke for themselves.
We threw on our blue booties prior to entering the infant room. These are required by anyone entering the classroom, lots of little hands and toes touch the floor-this keeps things sanitary.
I met lead teacher, Ms. Huda. She made me feel welcome in her classroom and could tell right away that she ran a tight ship. She has nearly 20yrs experience at this location and six children of her own. I decided to do a trial day and have never looked back.
Our experience:
Ms. Huda exudes confidence and ease with newborns & infants. After one day, she had my son sleeping in a crib(instead of swing), swaddled(hated it at home) and on a feeding schedule. I fondly refer to her as "the baby whisperer" to friends and family.
My son is now 8 months old and has learned so much! He is socialized with other children, eats on a schedule and takes regular naps. This is all attributed to his time at Childtime.
All the teachers in the Infant room truly care about the babies and it shows. I wouldn't be there, otherwise.
