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.

- Veronica Nelson
