Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I am a teacher myself and I am very critical about how my children are treated. I have yet in the 4 years that my children have been attending tutor time to find any issues of concern. The teachers are loving, caring, intelligent and most of all patient. It takes a special group of people to work with young children daily. Many parents get frustrated with their own children, imagine a room of 8. These teachers have taught my children so many things about behaving properly, sticking to a routine, learning the alphabet, counting, reading. My children will be more than prepared for kindergarten. I am proud of the staff at tutor time. They are exceptional in so many ways, I can't thank them enough for the wonderful job they continue to do with my children.
I feel my children are safe and well taken care of everyday.

Tutor Time is not only a daycare center but it is also a preschool. So, most children move on to the public schools for kindergarten. There is no parent group, but they would most likely be open to starting one if we asked for it.
Drop-in Policy
- During school parents are welcomed as the school has an open door policy

Discipline
| OVERALL RATING (5.0) |

| Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children:
are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

The school is cleaned professionally weekly and the teachers wipe down and clean the toys and tables daily, sometimes more than once a day.
Sick children when they are discovered at school (children can be fine in the morning and then have a fever a few hours later) are kept separate and comfortable from the other children.Parents are called to come and pick up their child. The center is very accommodating and works well with parents and their needs.
