  • 6 weeks – 18 months

Toddlers | 18 months – 3 years

Gaining knowledge and understanding of themselves and the world around them with every new leap, toddlers are eager, active and inquisitive learners of the world around them. We will be by your child’s side to assist them with every experience of daily living. The fun and loving environment will also be a place for socialization for your toddler as well as a climate of trust.

We allow toddlers to explore developmentally appropriate centers on their own. Our teachers are trained to stay on the same level as our toddlers allowing them a unique perspective into the daily movements and play habits. We know the importance of a consistent routine and we have a classroom schedule with predictable times for activities, meals, and naps. This allows our toddlers to learn to adjust to transition between activities. From motor skill activities outside, to learning the beginning stages of math and science skills, we help ensure that play time is learning time.

  • 18 months – 3 years

Preschool | 3 years

Kiddos participate in a structured, weekly themed-based curriculum that is both age and developmentally appropriate. Our goal is to ensure that our curriculum will encourage creativity and learning in every child. Our teachers are trained to work with every child as they grow along at their own individual pace.

We want our children to have a cultured curiosity about the world around them. As they learn more about the world, we will also help them to continue their social development, learning a variety of social skills needed for future academic success, such as following directions, sharing, thinking of others and asking permission.

  • 3 Years

Pre-Kindergarten | 4-5 years

As kiddos continue to progress from the Preschool class into the Pre-Kindergarten class we begin to incorporate activities and kindergarten testing activities. While maintaining social skills, curiosity and social development we strive to prepare our students for kindergarten classes.

What Parents Say

“Quality time childcare has been such a blessing in our lives since we switched my sweet baby girl here after not being impressed with her prior daycare. Tasha was very accommodating and listened to all of my child’s needs and her staff have exceeded beyond our expectations at making sure my baby is happy and very well taken care of. I couldn’t ask for a better team to take care of my girl.  “

Kayla Gustafson

“We switched to Quality Time after not being happy with our previous daycare center, and we couldn’t be happier with the switch! Tasha and ALL of her staff are amazing and have true passion for caring for and teaching children. The staff quickly become in tune with your child’s needs and are wonderful caregivers! Our little guy (1 year old) LOVES going everyday, and we have the peace of mind that he is cared for in the best way! Thank you Quality Time!!”

Samantha Caillier

My husband and I started taking our daughter to Tasha at Quality Time Child Care, when she was 8 months old, and they were a small in-home daycare. Now they are at a bigger facility with more kids and more staff, but it hasn’t changed the quality care that our daughter receives.

We looked at several daycares before deciding on Quality Time Child Care, but none of them compared. It’s a clean, safe environment where we feel our daughter is loved by her teachers every day- not just because it’s a job they’re paid to do, but because they love what they do. Now that our daughter is 2 years old, she’s learning things daily, she’s making friends, and she’s happy every morning when we drop her off and pick her up. We can see that she’s thriving and it’s all because of the amazing work that her teachers put in daily.

As parents, the most important thing to us about daycare is peace of mind. We know that our daughter is in good, safe, caring hands and that she will be well taken care of even when we leave her. Choosing Tasha and Quality Time Child Care is one of the best decisions that we’ve made for our daughter and our peace of mind. We are thankful for them and all that they do, every single day.”

Micah Nanto

“Tasha has been taking care of my son since he was 6 weeks old. We loved Tasha because she made us feel comfortable and that our little baby was in good hands it’s been two years her daycare has grown so has her staff but her staff is also as welcoming & caring. My son truly loves them all & I honestly don’t think he could be in better hands. He is always having a good time from doing crafty activities to having his playful adventure.”
