Chime Time Children’s Center

This is the first year for my twin daughters to attend Chime Time Children’s Center. Chime Time has exceeded my expectations. The director, Miss Pam and the teachers and staff are all excellent. They really go above and beyond in running a fantastic program and to ensure that all of the children’s needs are met. Chime Time is a clean, safe place where my children can learn, play and have a positive experience all around. We are so happy we decided to go with Chime Time!

3 Girls through Chime Time, great experience all around.

My son started at Chime Time last year and we both absolutely love it! He is excited to go to school and I love to see how happy he is when I drop him off. The school is a terrific facility — offering plenty of space for the children, and lots of options for toys to play with, arts and crafts, computers, etc.
The director, Miss Pam, is fabulous. She is so easy to work with and flexible. My son’s teachers are equally wonderful. They are patient, kind, sincere and completely in-​tune with the children and their needs.
I just cannot say enough great things about this school. We are relocating at the end of this school year and the number one reason I am sad to leave Melrose is Chime Time!

My daughter attends the extended day program two days a week. She loves it! All the teachers are warm and caring. My daughter has learned so much. Her teachers work with her on social skills, problem solving, inspire her creativity and well as academics. Pam the schools administrator has been flexible with my schedule when I need an extra day. The school is a clean and safe learning environment.

Chime Time is a Wonderful Choice!
My son loves it at Chime Time! Need I say more. For a parent, knowing that your child is in a safe and caring environment while you are working can is so very important. There are never any tears when he heads in the door here! The teachers are down to earth, real people, who generally enjoy working with children and who know their educational «stuff!»
My son has grown so much from having been a student in Miss Sue’s class this past year. His social skills are terrific, he follows the rules and has grown into a friendly young boy who enjoys reading art projects and exercise!
The director Pam is as caring as they come.
God Bless Chime Time!

Our daughter went to Chime Time last year and absolutely loved it! It was an ideally balanced nurturing environment with structure and education. We were thrilled to see the social and educational growth of our daughter throughout the year. Pam and the rest of the staff are consummate professionals who absolutely love what they do. They’re a pleasure to work with and allow for unique flexibility for families with two working parents. I can’t say enough great things about Chime Time!

Our daughter started Chime Time this fall, and we absolutely love it. She had been in an outstanding in-​home day care since she was small, and Chime Time is a fantastic next step for her. The teachers provide a loving, warm environment balanced with a great structured day, creative learning techniques, and excellent outlets for all that preschool energy through outdoor play, music, and art. In the past couple of weeks, she brought home a fairly intricate mosaic of a tree from the rain forest, and I was COMPLETELY impressed.
Chime Time is just the right blend of nurturing and learning, and we are thrilled that our daughter is in preschool there.

My daughter Marissa has been here since August and absolutley loves it! She has transitioned quite nicely from in-​home daycare to Nursery School and It would not have been possible without the wonderful staff! We looked at a few different schools and fell in love with Chime Time on our first visit. We love the setting here (class-​rooms), it helps to keep children in the same age group together during their lessons. Recess time combines all age groups and this is fantastic for the younger kids to interact with the older kids and most of the teachers have been here for many years!

I’d give this place 6 stars if I could. The most caring, loving, and wonderful staff. My daughter has absolutely thrived in the 2yrs she spent at Chime Time… they are outstanding. If you’re looking for a preschool in the Melrose area, this is the place. My wife and I checked them all out — and most are great, but this place is the perfect size (i.e. not a huge center like other area options), and the teachers have all been there for a while. Their dedication is second to none in my opinion — I can’t say enough. The only minor issue is the parking can be tight at dropoff — especially when the church members decide to block off spaces with barrels for no apparent reason.
Chime Time is in the basement of the Melrose Baptist church, but it’s not religious at all though… just happens to be where it’s housed.
