Precious Time Parents Testimonials
Satisfied parents are our best source of referrals.
“You have truly outdone yourself in making it so easy for parents that work. Thank you for making a difference in my daughter’s world.”
– Diane Scott
“I can’t say enough about how happy we’ve been to be part of the Precious Time organization. We feel like we’re entrusting our daughter to care of family members who love her, not caregivers who are working to take care of her. I look forward to picking her up every day not only because I get to see her, but I get to catch up with her teachers who I consider to be extensions of our family, and friends.
The flexible hours are incredible, and no other child care organization in Richmond can match them, but that’s a sidebar of importance to the warm, family atmosphere.”
Thanks!

I like that the emphasis, while having some educational components, is still very heavily geared toward the social development piece. I like that computer technology and tv is NOT introduced to the very young kids as I think that they will have plenty of time to develop those skills which will come quickly. And now, I can say that I like the exposure to Spanish and soccer for the young kids.”
– Robin Binford
I also love that the teachers will talk to me at any time throughout the day without hesitation…and this includes the Assistant Director (Miss Ashley) who puts up with my constant questions. It really makes me feel comfortable leaving my children there while I’m at work.”

- As a single mother with an unpredictable work schedule I appreciate the hours of operation that Precious Time offers, allowing me to maintain the required flexibility.
- The staff at Precious Time is very warm, knowledgeable, inviting, and engaged with every child; providing each to grow beyond their limits in a safe encouraging environment.
- I am most pleased with the staffs uniformed attire and ID badges at Precious Time to help identify their affiliation with the facility. The additional security features of keypad entry and video surveillance at the location are also very comforting.
- Precious Time conveniently keeps the parents involved and informed through email communication as well as notices posted throughout the facility which is extremely helpful for a busy parent such as myself.”
I wanted to take a moment to express in writing how much we, the Graff family, appreciate you and the wonderful teachers at Precious Time. We have been there for a little over 10 years and have watched our children be loved, cared for, and educated by your loving staff. Your wonderful staff have done everything from holding the hands of our children when they have scratched their knee to giving each child a high five when trying to potty train. Your staff is so engaged with our children they usually know when the kids are coming down with a cold or illness and give us the heads up first.
We have five children that have been in Precious Time, and safety, caring and learning has always been your priority. If I have a concern, the teachers listen. They participate in solutions and seem so genuine! You know your children love their teachers when playing phone at home, I ask ‘who are you calling?’ Zander answers, ‘Ms. Cindy, I love her.’
Nothing means more than seeing your children happy and running into the arms of their teachers. I have comfort knowing that my children are having limits with love, encouragement with care, education with fun, and activity with involvement.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your center and thank you for being part of our family!
