Every child is unique and special. A Good Time Out is a Play Based environment which focuses on experiences and transitioning. We specialize in helping young children, who spend most of their time with family, transition into care in our facility. We also provide older children, who may have already spent the day in an academic setting, with a fun place to wind down.
We meet a wide range of needs for ages 0-12.

We have created a "home away from home" environment that could be just what you are looking for! Our staff are wonderful, sweet, and caring and will exceed your expectations of caregivers. Because many new Moms do not have to return to work full time, we have created many flexible programs that will be able to meet most childcare needs.

I love this place. Four of my grandbabies go here, 2 full time, 2 part time. The staff is caring, loving and respectful. I love the updates I get on the app. They always keep the kids busy and do creative activities with them.
Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs daycare.

I have a 7 month old son who has been taken care of almost daily at A Good Time Out on Calloway Rd since he was 12 days old and I'm so thankful to them for the care they have been offering him (and to other families). When my son was born, due to having too much on my plate, I had not secured a daycare/nanny for him and didn't want to burden my family taking care of my own child so when I called Amy because I had to go back to work, I was shocked that they had immediate opening for him. It has always gone smooth, pleasant and RELIABLE, which has allowed me to run my life with mental

My husband and I were in a bind one day and were in need of childcare for our son. I had heard good things about A Good Time Out. I called and was greeted by McKenzie. I explained to her I needed care for about an hour and and a half later that afternoon. She walked me through the registration process online and answered all my questions. My son loved his experience and we were happy with the service. If you're ever in a bind, this is an easy, safe and welcoming place to take your child.

I've been taking my daughter to A Good Time Out for the past 4 years. She loves it there! The owners are wonderful and the Director's Amy and Kenzie are amazing with the kids AND parents. It's a well ran facility. Very clean and so much for the kids to have, including waterslides during the summer! My daughter's favorite.

We love A Good Time Out! The staff is amazing, friendly and very caring. We are new to the Bakersfield area, and finding daycare was a struggle at first. My son has been going here since April, and I cannot say enough good things. I HIGHLY recommend AGTO, especially if you are new to Bakersfield. They give you the flexibility to get established and comfortable, and even enjoy a date night now and then!

Incompetent staff and care takers. The staff do not communicate well with one another. This place isn't good for full time or part time care. On many occasions I picked my infant child up with filthy face- snot and food all over her face and a soiled diaper. As "licensed" care givers you should know all that it takes to care for a child and make sure they leave in similar condition in which they came. We paid for the meal plan and my child wasn't fed and instead of them calling to find out about his meal plan they let him sit hungry as the other children ate. They put nail polish

This was my first time coming here i was asked to pick up a child 4 yr old i believe for someone around noon. It was easy to find in a business complex off of Calloway. Very interesting concept especially for people that don't know who in the hell are going to watch their kids so they can have a moment of sanity hehehe...Well this place is it!! Clean, staffed appropriately some were in better moods than others lol as expected. The front desk girl was so sweet i told her i forgot how to install a car seat (i don't have small kids anymore lol) she said well your in luck because she is

I have been bringing my kids here for years. First my son from the time he was a toddler until he got too old to go. And he was devastated he couldn't go anymore. I have been taking my youngest since she was a newborn. I like it because it's drop in and I can bring her anytime I have a work meeting or just need some time to myself. But I love it because of the warm and comforting environment. I feel like I'm bringing her to a second home. Like family. Its somewhere she can have fun and play and is surrounded by friends as well grownups who are very nurturing. It is clean and the

Where to start. It’s inevitable that Daycare will become part of a daily routine for a family of 2 working parents. What we didn’t expect is on the first day, I received a phone call from my fiancé that our child was bit by another child, with in hours of drop off. Of course I was worried. I called and asked if I could see a picture and she said that they don’t take pictures but assured me my daughter was fine. When my fiancé picked her up and sent me a picture of her bite, I was worried. It didn’t look fine. We kept her out of for one day and decided to give them another chance since

So happy and relieved to have found this place.
My daughter has always been able to stay with family while I had to be at work, but due to circumstances changing we had to go the daycare route for child care. The staff here are warm and answered all of my questions and gave me a tour prior to me signing my daughter up.
They're open early enough so that I can drop off my daughter and make it to work on time. Give daily reports on how much she's eaten, slept, and dirty diapers which is puts me at ease.
The facility is always clean when I've dropped by to pick her up and the toys

My 1 yo baby went to the daycare for four hours today in the morning. This is her second time going there. When I took a bath for her in the evening which is 5 hours after my husband picked her up, i noticed a purple bruise/ bump close to her hairline in the forehead. My husband did not noticed it when he picked her up because she has bang which cover it up. The person at the daycare did not even mention anything about her fall. I checked the yellow paper which was sent home with her. There it said she fell from a chair and bumped her forehead. I was upset because the daycare did not even tell

I don't know where to begin...was quoted one price then was quoted another then had 2 charges to my card which were no where near either of the quote I was given. The biggest issue I have with this place...they didn't check my ID when I picked up my daughter. First time being there so no one knew who I was and they just let my daughter go? This place needs to be shut down.

This place is super convenient to anyone in the Northwest of Bakersfield. I use it for drop-in care and regular day care for one of my children who is still too young to attend a regular pre-school.
We really appreciate that they are willing to use cloth diapers on our daughter. Our daughter's derriere seems to appreciate it most days, too.
A Good Time Out is moderately priced and it actually surprises me that they don't have a second location yet. I mean, what parent couldn't use a place that you can drop off your kids for a couple of hours to do your own errands, etc. and know

This place is a godsend! We don't have a lot of people in our lives who can watch our two boys when we go out. My husband was on a mission to find a highly recommended daycare facility to take the boys. He found A Good Time Out.
New Year's Eve was when we tried them out. I called ahead since my youngest son is autistic and needed to make sure they were comfortable with special needs kids and had prior experience. I called when they were closed and left a message which they returned within a couple of hours (even before they opened). They were really friendly and accommodating with my

My husband and I lived in Bakersfield for 3 years and we often used A Good Time Out for date nights and for days that our usual daycare was closed. We always had positive experiences and with no family in town, we appreciated the service and would have paid much more than the going rate. The staff was always friendly and they remembered my daughter even though we only used them about once/month. I would highly recommend A Good Time Out.

I love this place and my kids love this place. I noticed the two, 1 star reviews and saw that they both had to do with money. Every business must make boundaries and rules to stay in business. It is a shame that those reviews were made as this place LOVES every child that comes through the door. I highly recommend this day care.
In regards to the comment about not being able to see your kids. That can not be furthest from the truth. When you walk though the door you can see the entire place and what every child is doing. The only reason why you may not have instant access to your child is so the
