As I sit here and read reviews of area child care facilities that I have personally visited, it is…read moreclear to me this particular location is not fit for children ages let's say 5-12 as they are not being suitably attended to. What is the child to adult ratio? Kids are running about and not being reprimanded. Yes, I was there long enough to observe such behavior. As to the reviews, I believe everyone is intitled to their opinion! But these issues should've been addressed by management and not taken lightly rather than unjustly dismiss a Child from your care center. Who is in charge? Management or your so called teachers? Thank you Mr. and Mrs. M for your honest views of this facility sorry you had such a poor experience! Thanks for the opportunity to submit my opinion and keep my kids from attending in the future!

My son started at TLC around his second birthday. He at the time had a very small vocabulary and…read morenot much interaction with other children. Within a few weeks, my son was thriving socially and coming home with a much stronger vocabulary. The teachers have always been amazing and loving to my son. They really put in effort to make sure the environment is focused on teaching, manners and behaved free play. The lesson plans are followed through with just enough time for indoor and outdoor play. This daycare ( I call it school because of its high focus of learning) would be a perfect fit for a parent wanting best for their children, educationally and socially. As much as I want my child to be smart, I also want him to be a well rounded- good person and the learning connection has the same goal in mind for each child. If your looking for a facility and unsure, make an appointment with the leadership at TLC and i am hopeful you will leave with your child enrolled. My son looks forward to going and they do a great job on making learning fun. GREAT staff, awesome meals, perfect place to leave and be comfortable knowing your child is in good hands.

My 8 year old son went for a 5 day Robotics program(4hrs daily) at Snapology Learning where they…read morebuilt Lego robots of different kind each day. My son loves building Legos and this program helped him understand more about the mechanical side of building Legos. He had a wonderful time there and a good instructor(Ms. Amanda) to help them with the activities. We would definitely be sending him over for more camps when they have it.

She loves going to school now and she has grown so much in the 5 months she has been attending. I love all of the art and work that comes home with her everyday and how much she loves Chapel and reading her Bible. She is growing both academically and in faith and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a fun, safe and nurturing environment for their child.

I found out by my child having meltdowns every day before school, during school and finally telling me he was being put in a bathroom with the door closed because he was crying.

My son has been attending Minnieland since he was 12 weeks old. As hard as it was to leave him…read morewith strangers, it soon became apparent that the staff at this school would always take exceptional care of my baby. The teachers genuinely care about him - they delight in his achievements and milestones, they keep me in the loop about all of the moments I have to miss while at work, and they treat him with individualized care. Jenny and Tori are flexible and accommodative and are regularly involved with the kids - these are not administrators who simply sit at a desk all day. They know every child and every parent and are in tune with the needs of each family. The communication is excellent - I always know what's happening in the school, in the classroom, and in my son's day. Heather, Nichole, Wanda, Nicole, Megan, and all of the teachers are so amazing - there has never been a day that I have worried at all about leaving my precious boy in the care of these extraordinary women.

My daughter has been at this location of Minnieland since January of 2014. She had just turned 3…read moreand prior to that had stayed with family. Needless to say, leaving her the first day was hard...for me....she pushed me out the door because she INSTANTLY loved it. The teachers and directors know all the student's names which gives you that family feeling and a great sense of security. I recommend everyone to take their children to this location. PLUS it's VERY affordable especially in comparison to other daycares. I am so grateful I found them.

My daughter enjoyed her time there. We were members for almost a year After about 4-5 months, my…read moredaughter started to feel a little bored and wouldn't be as excited about going. I think it's because they do the same general thing week-to-week and there isn't a sense of goals or progress over time. I am also not a fan of their membership model. It's basically $100 a month and it just goes on infinitely until you choose to stop. I would prefer it to be structured more around "seasons" with a culminating show so the kids could feel a sense of growth, progress and pride. All in all - We enjoyed our time but will be looking for other gymnastics options in the future with a different class model oriented more towards growth.

We have a daughter who attended the Richmond Waldorf School for 11 years. She easily gained…read moreentrance to the public magnet HS she wanted to attend and has earned the highest GPA possible in her first year. Why? because, she knew how to think around a problem, how to make an object if needed, how to work on a team, and how to listen to what the teachers had to say. 1) in 8th grade RWS students learn coding and they use computers, in fact, most Waldorf school grads are well above their peers in math and science, Why? because they know the beauty and why of math, not just the memorization of rote SOL questions. 2) Waldorf educated children write beautifully, they fall in love with verse, song and poetry early and are used to reciting and reading in public. 3) They can actually MAKE something, food, sewing, drawings, music, woodworking. Try teaching a group of college students at the nations top ranked school of art and design to make something.....I wish they were all Waldorf grads. 4) Waldorf students were a valued part of a class and school family, their voices were heard and respected, and they in turn hear others. They are unafraid to stand up to bullying or injustice. They do not judge others as less than worthy. Waldorf students are compassionate, they have not been hardened by a grinding rote school process with social dysfunction and cliques. Waldorf may not be for everyone, if your child has certain learning needs requiring support that only a big school system has, it won't be the answer for you. If you need constant support of your needs and to helicopter, it won't work for you, and it might just not fit your family, and that's ok, if it does work for you, embrace it!

My daughter is in her second year at the Richmond Waldorf School. We have had nothing but extremely…read morepositive experiences with the school and the school community. What drew me to RWS was their philosophy around educating the whole child. The skills that children learn in a Waldorf program are designed to build a healthy, educated whole individual. You can teach a child very specific skills at any school. Waldorf is helping to develop and nurture children's natural curiosity which is something that can't be found in a textbook. A curious child that is nurtured becomes a life long learner. Not everyone is familiar with the Waldorf education and it's fundamentals.
