Time4Kidz Drop In Playcare

When I lived in Lynnwood this was my favorite part easy daycare. Helen and Asha the owners are great and their staff likewise. It’s worth moving to Lynnwood for the daycare they provide best rates and service in Washington state. There is a Friday and sat kids night out special for kids and siblings for date night. If I ever can move back to Lynnwood or surrounding area it’s great to know Time 4 kids drop in daycare and preschool program is there for all ages.

The quality of care at this place seems to vary by time of day. If you go during the day until about 2, M-​F, the care is fabulous. The preschool teacher and lead drop-​in teacher are very competent and friendly. However, I’ve had more than one mediocre experience in the evening and on weekends. The staff at those times just isn’t up to par.

Friendly staff and tons of fun for my kids! My kids have made great friends here and they can’t wait to come back. My kids attend the morning preschool and have taken the ballet class. There was a Christmas program and ballet recital that was super cute.

I took my (4yo) daughter here a couple of times, and she came back happy and in one piece. The place was clean enough and the staff seemed really nice and competent, if a bit sparse.
…but…
It really bothered me that they don’t have a lock on their front door during the day. We went on one occasion in the summer and the door was even propped open. There is a separate gate to the play area, so kids escaping isn’t the issue to me. However, in an old plaza in a corner of Lynnwood next to a game store, I would expect security to be top notch as you never know who might just wander in. They are dealing with the most precious cargo!

We have been coming here for quite some time. My 3 and 5 year old kids love it and are always happy and having fun when I come to pick them up. Prices are reasonable and I’m very happy that they recently became licensed to watch kids for more than four hours. When I need a break or a «sick day» (SAHM) once in a while this is my go-​to place. I was also quite excited when I met the owner, Helen, last week and she mentioned that my 2 year old could give it a try even though he was a bit young for their official guidelines of 2.5. He did great so now I officially have a drop-​in daycare, in the north end, that can watch all three of my kids for as long as I want. Clean, fun, and sweet, caring ladies. Win!

My daughter loves going here! Their rates are very reasonable, and in the three times we’ve now gone, she has never been distraught or anxious in spending a 2 – 4 hours here playing. We found this place by chance when we couldn’t find a friend or family member to babysit, and we need someone to watch her for just a few hours on a Saturday. With the great experiences we had, Time4Kidz is now our first choice for babysitting needs, giving friends and family a break. It’s really great to not have to plan in advance; just drop her off for a few hours and everything’s fine.

We love time4kidz and have been going here since it opened. The staff is kind, caring and energetic; the facility is bright, clean with lots of fun things to do! My son calls it «the playground» he gets super excited when we tell him he gets to go to the «playground». We love Time4kidz and Mrs. Helen!

Great place and super convenient for parents. The two ladies who work there are very attentive and I’ve seen them reading and teaching my daughter when I’d sneak in. On the first day, they didn’t mind when I called in to check how my girl was doing. They seem like parents who understand the needs of other busy parents. Only down side is you can’t leave your child for more than 4 hours straight. I pick up my daughter for lunch and bring her back after so it’s not really a big deal. Oh and they also give complimentary snacks. I am very satisfied with the care they provide.

I just called to make a reservation since it was for a parents night out and the lady that answered the phone was extremely rude! She said I can’t make a reservation over the phone and that I need to fill out paperwork, I explained that I printed the paperwork online and that I would bring it with me. She said that won’t work. VERY RUDE, I would never want her taking care of my daughter. Maybe you should not allow people to get the paperwork online if that is not allowed and if you can’t call ahead it should not say that on your website!!!

We dropped our 3 year old off for Kid’s Night (Parent’s Night Out) this past Saturday so we could enjoy an grownup movie at the nearby theatre. Only $ 20 including 3 hours of play and dinner, you can’t beat that! And the facility is so nice, so many different toys and all clean and organized. When we picked her up she was dressed as Snow White and was so busy playing she didn’t even notice us. We can’t wait to go again! What a treat for parents who want a night out for not only themselves but their kid too… she’d have way more fun there than sitting at a dinner table with us while we try to amuse her and enjoy our dinner at same time. And it’s great that it’s in an area with lots of great, close-​by options for entertainment.
I wish this was around when I was a stay at home mom, I would have used it regularly during the day.

We’ve dropped our 3yr old here a few times now and he always loves it. There are lots of toys and other little friends to play with but apparently (according to him) he likes playing with the lady who owns this business the most. I am very impressed as it appears the owner is very hands on with the kids and takes the time to converse and play with them. She seems to be very good with kids and my husband and I both find her very knowledgable and pleasant to talk to when picking up our son and getting the rundown of his stay there. Very personable and down to earth group of people here. no pretentiousness what so ever.
The amount of personal attention they pay to the kids and their hourly rates are the best we’ve found so far.
TIP: They do change diapers but don’t forget to drop one off to them when you drop off your kid.
Also they provide snacks to the kids no extra charge but I’m not sure whether the pizza slice he ate there today was also free or not (pretty sure it was!).

I love love love the idea of a drop-​in playcare! I do not need regular day care nor do I need an ongoing educational experience for my child, so I am thrilled to see a company that meets the needs of my family. The facility is bright and very child-​centered. The staff are super friendly to the parents and the kiddos. There are lots of things to do for kids of varying age ranges. I am so thrilled to have found this place and am excited to bring my kiddo back.
