Gabby returned and said he hadn't eaten much today and wasn't feeling good. She seemed clueless as to what to do about my child not feeling good. She said he was laying on the table so she moved him to the floor where it was more comfortable. No one contacted me. The other teacher took his temperature as I was holding him and it was 102.4. After I asked Gabby why no one contacted me she said she had told the director earlier that my son wasn't feeling good. The other teacher said he was busy and forgot. It is not a good facility. Don't send your child here if you want good care. They probably don't get paid much and don't care about the children. I had read one bad review but there were so many good ones. I just read the bad review again and it is more accurate than I thought. They do cover up things. The director tried to call me today and left a voice mail and denied anything that happened and tried to cover it up. This place is unsafe and weird things are happening to these poor children.

The daycare is disgusting just…read morebeginning there, like a good vacuum and floor stripping would do this place a lot of justice. I enrolled my son here as a last ditch effort because there was no spaces in other centers in the area. Huge mistake. The front staff here seemed friendly but I think it was a facade. The infant room, where my 10 month old was enrolled has a bunch of young girls in there who have NO idea how to take care of children. Dropping our son off my fiancé witnessed one of the staff members sighing loudly and basically saying "what do you want" to a child. A CHILD, who obviously cannot help themselves and is under your care? Really. They fabricated information on my sons daily sheet saying he was fed and changed at certain times and it was all a lie. My son came home with the same diaper he had on when I dropped him off, I know this because it was a special diaper he had on with markings. When that was brought to the front staffs attention they didn't care, one person who is not even the director the "curriculum specialist" was the only person I spoke with. The director, Nikki, didn't even have the common decency to investigate or even call me to let me know what was said to her staff about it. My son would come home extremely dehydrated from them either not feeding him or not giving him his water. I can't believe I have to even write this review and I am completely disgusted with this center as a whole. If you love and care about your child, please do not send them here.. send them somewhere they will be cared for and not neglected. I won't stop advocating for my child until the proper solution is achieved. I have been in contact with The Virginia Department of Social Services with this matter as well.

Great Department of Social Services inspection records, strong, long-term management and many teachers there for the long haul. Healthy, on-site cooked meals.

This school is absolutely corrupt. Please do not be fooled by the name. All of the leaders at the…read moreschool have absolutely no sense of how a school should be run. Their main focus is getting new children in the door, not accommodating the children that they have, not supporting the staff, not updating the school. With three directors and two owners, you would think this school would be prestige but they all just go around in circles with each other and none of them care about what is best for the school. Terrible management. They are flat out mean, petty, and childish when time comes to treating their employees with simple human decency. Please think twice about sending your child to a school where the directors care more about their trash can than their employees feelings. This is NOT the charming, sweet school that you are fooled into seeing when you walk through the doors. The children are disrespected and the teachers that actually care about them are sent packing...

Ms…read more Doris is without a doubt the most professional, kind, attentive and compassionate director I've ever encountered. My experience at all aboard has been wonderful because the staff is attentive and truly knows my kids. The classrooms are clean, the curriculum is centered around the development and growth of my kids. The turn over rate is minimal at best. Each of the teachers working there loves children and it shows! Unlike alot of other daycares this school keeps the closings to a bare minimum. There has been plenty of times during inclimate weather where other schools would close but not all aboard! The school is broken up into several classes divided by age. I love this because it allows your child to get the age appropriate attention they need and deserve! I would absolutely recommend this daycare to any family in need of a child care facility!

My two elementary age children went to Tuckaway Ellwood House for 3 weeks this past summer. The teacher was friendly but the front desk is horrendous. I gave them my credit card number to charge for payment. Apparently the either lost it or failed to charge it, but they never sent me an invoice or communicated that they needed payment (not by phone, email, or mail). Then, less than 4 weeks after my daughters left, instead of sending us an invoice, they sent our bill to a debt collector and tacked on a $400 "legal fee"! Yes, I received a debt collection notice in the mail (again, having never received even ONE bill or invoice) with an additional $400 added on! Unprofessional and disgusting. Adding to this, the weeks leading up to and during our time at Ellwood, communication was terrible. Emails inquiring about forms, dates, etc. went unanswered 3/4 times.

We looked at a few day cares in Fall 2017. Almost in all higher quality centers were wait lists. We…read morechose Tuckaway on Ellwood because a few people suggested it to us, and they had a plenty of positive reviews at that point. We waited patiently until October 2018, but there were no notices about our enrollment though they said the wait list is about a year. I called them up, and they said that we can start in 2-3 weeks. The girl who runs the enrollment process, Mary, wasn't friendly at all. She didn't reply on my emails on time, and she gave me dirty looks when I asked too many questions in person. Really?‍ I was already disappointed, but I decided to give it a try. Sofia was 2 years and 6 months when we started day care. First, she liked it a lot, but in a couple of weeks her teacher left, and they were struggling to find someone new. Instead, they were changing care givers every day because they were just sending people from other groups to help. At this point, Sofia didn't want to go there anymore. She cried at home at night and in the morning because she didn't want to come back to her day care. She cried hysterically at the moment when we were saying goodbye there. What can I say? It was very hard for all of us, but their care givers didn't care much. They didn't try to calm her down or distract her attention. They just kept playing with other kids. Once, my husband went to drop her off, and Sofia cried so hard that she threw up there. Can you imagine that no one even came to him to help to clean up and calm her down until he asked for help ‍. We tried for a week with all this crying, and we stopped. I took her out of there. This was the worst experience ever. After this child care, she even stopped trusting her babysitter for a few weeks. Then, Sofia calmed down, and she happily stayed with babysitter like she did it before. Moreover, we looked into reviews for this Tuckaway child care, and we realized that all the recent positive reviews were left by the people who work there‼This is crazy . For now, since December, Sofia stays at home with me, and I can see the difference in her behavior. She is a happy little girl again. Isn't that the most important for every parent? We will try to put her in another day care in Fall 2019 when she will be 3.5, and I hope she will enjoy it.

I also have my youngest child in the Infant room since March 2021. She is very much loved and cherished at Childtime and is very comfortable with all the teachers. Everyday at drop off, she launches herself at whoever is at the door. All the staff and teachers that we have come across have been very open with their plans and communications. If there are any issues or concerns, we were notified as well as informed of any action plans that needs to be reinforced at home. I really appreciate the open communication with the school.
