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...

Terrible experience. I wish I never subjected my child to this place. I was fully transparent about…read moremy child and his recent behaviors going into the center and I was assured that Kindercare works with the family and goes through a process with steps before asking a child to leave. I was handed paperwork for behavioral strategies that they do not use. My child was sent home after hitting a teacher on the hand one day. The next day he pulled out all the stops to go home within a few hours of arriving. He was told not to come back. We tried another center with teachers with more experience and he's a different child. Really disappointing.

My kid looks forward to go school every day, and is thoroughly engaged in the activities. The variety of projects that involve arts, from music, school events, is just amazing. My son has matured emotionally and developed so many new skills in the time that he has been here. The teachers are patient and take the time to really know each student, so they can help him/her be a successful learner and good classmate! The classes are not only done indoor but outdoor too ,which reminded me of my childhood and the key person who could influence my wife and myself is the director Jackie allgood..the name itself speakers 1000 words.

If you don't have an extra $400 sitting around, and you don't want your children watching 1-2 hours…read moreof extra TV every day, avoid this place. 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.

Ms. Sharita Walker is a treasure. Society holds together because of people like her. Seriously…read more Her approach to caring for children is driven by a remarkable combination of passion and intellectual excellence. She's obviously studied various schools of thought on the subject of childcare (it was enlightening to hear her explain them), and she's extracted best practices and combined them into her own unique blend. So there's deep thought that's gone into what she does. On top of the sound philosophy, she's innovative in her hands-on dimension, too. She has a garden where she and the children grow food (that they eat) and learn to appreciate mother nature. Wow. In a world where too many people are hustling and skimping and not doing their fair share, it's heartening to encounter a Sharita Walker, who does more than her fair share, while smiling and practicing joy. Her big-heartedness is just what children need to be around. Adults, too.
