My daughter came to Tidewater at the start of 3rd grade. We struggled in public school to make…read moreprogress with her learning and growth in general. Her self esteem was already taking a hit at such a young age, I knew we needed a change. At the Tidewater school everyone was so great to meet with not only me but my daughter to ensure that she was a good fit for the school. Everyone is welcoming and it is truly a community of support. Because of Tidewater we have been able to isolate the learning problems and actually do something about them. They truly want to help and want your child to be happy, healthy and thrive. I encourage anyone who has a desire for a different learning environment for their child or who has a child who is an atypical learner to do yourselves and your child a favor and reach out to The Tidewater School.

I can't say enough good things about Tidewater. I have had two children attend this school, and…read moreboth have received an incredible foundation for future learning. Tidewater's model is skills-based and instruction is individualized, so children become used to being autonomous and they truly do fall in love with learning. Class sizes are small, and teachers are highly skilled, dedicated, and caring. There are elements of magic in the outdoor learning spaces and the imaginative activities. I wish all schools could get it this right.

Then serve you for even more money than original. Luckily they didn't accept md child scholarship bc I realized at my sons new daycare him waiting at the window for me everyday no matter the time and screaming crying at drop off was not normal. I've never felt so good about my son not being sad at drop off at his new daycare. I'll see you in court. I was holding off on this review but I honestly wish I could leave zero stars.... ALSO my friend's son who can talk was in the same room and told him how mean they were to him they removed their kid as well.

Thank you for giving my children the chance to succeed and for constantly encouraging them to aim high!!!

They are very convenient in terms or location. The ladies had all been trained on the Epi Pen Jr. I unfortunately had to relocate to another daycare due to moving to Northern Virginia. I would recommend them to any parent. I loved the Daily Sheets, Everyday I picked him up from them I had a thorough report of what they did during the day along with when he napped, what he ate. I felt like I could trust them to do the right thing. I love how they invite the parents to be involved with their activities too! Anyways, best of luck searching!!

In June parents received letters promising the door would be installed the first week of July which was the reason for a hike in tuition. However, July came & went & so did the owner who moved with her family out of state without letting anyone know. I found out from a neighbor & confirmed with one of the care givers. In addition, the playground is a deplorable area; rocks, & old mulch which provide no protection from injury when the kids fall. The deck is old and in need of major repair so that the children can avoid coming home with splinters. The only positive is the employees who are kind & do the best they can with the equipment they have.
