Message from the owner, Veronica Nelson
Owner Veronica Nelson joined Child Time in 1995. She loves seeing the “aha” moment when your child makes connections and learns new concepts thanks to the unique, child interest-led curriculum that defines the Reggio-Emilia approach.
We aim to give your child an early childhood education that is unmatched.
The most defining characteristic of our philosophy is the way a child is viewed.
The Reggio Emilia approach views the child as strong, resourceful, and curious, capable of constructing his/her learning. This means that the children determine the topic of study and participate in planning the curriculum.

Nurturing Curiosity, Creativity, And Exploration Every Day
Your child receives exceptional care and education in a loving and respectful environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and exploration. Experienced teachers take note of your child’s interests and use them to weave an engaging curriculum your child loves.
Low Teacher-Student Ratios Give Your Your Child More Attention
Young children thrive thanks to the one-on-one attention of caring adults. Our class ratios are lower than the state’s, providing the space and bandwidth for teachers to encourage thoughtful exploration and gently guide hands-on learning.
Accreditations Guarantee Our Commitment To Quality
Child Time Academy was the first private preschools in Utah to earn accreditation from The National Association for the Education of Young Children and the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation NECPA. Know that your child is receiving top-quality care.
Your Child's Interests Lead The Lessons
Instead of teachers controlling the topic and the time spent learning it, your child’s interests lay the foundation for building learning experiences. This approach helps your child gain confidence in their abilities, and makes their lessons relevant and personal.

Motivated By A Passion For Meaningful Learning
Child Time Inc. was established in 1988 to fill a massive void in the community–a need for quality education and childcare. There was also a void for the tried and true Reggio-Emilia approach, one that we at Child Time are thrilled to fill.
