Child Time Inc. is a locally owned and operated early childhood education provider in Salt Lake City, Utah, with over 30 years of experience nurturing young children. We offer high-quality childcare and preschool programs for children ages 3 months through 10 years across multiple locations, including our Avenues, Eastside, Second Avenues, and Cottonwood centers.
At the heart of our philosophy is a deep commitment to the Reggio Emilia approach, emphasizing child-led exploration, creativity, and relationship-based learning. Our classrooms are thoughtfully designed with natural materials, soft lighting, and calm, home-like spaces that foster curiosity and collaboration.
We place a strong emphasis on social and emotional development, recognizing it as the foundation for lifelong learning. Children at Child Time are supported in developing empathy, confidence, self-awareness, and the ability to navigate relationships—all within a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment.
Our programs are led by experienced, highly-trained educators and early childhood professionals—many of whom have been with us for more than a decade. We are proud to be recognized for excellence in early education.
Through close communication with families, ongoing staff development, and our whole-child approach, Child Time Inc. remains a trusted partner for families seeking meaningful early learning experiences rooted in compassion, creativity, and community. We are deeply committed to supporting our team and fostering long-term career growth. In fact, 100% of our company administrators began their journeys with us as teachers or substitutes, reflecting our strong belief in developing talent from within. This dedication to our staff not only strengthens our community but ensures that every classroom is led with experience, empathy, and a deep understanding of our values.
