I have worked at Tomlin almost 1 month so I think I have a pretty good feel of the staff and children and parents and I can honestly say it is great to be a part of the Tomlin Academy family. Ms. Tomlin is very diligent and intentional about how she tends to the children and their needs. I love my babies here! So sweet and parents all so friendly. I enjoy the environment and working with a staff that is very team oriented. read more

Tomlin academy sets a idea of what they want to be to parents. They in no way hold that standard. At first glance and when no problem arise Miss Tomlin presents herself very well and holds herself to a great standard but does no hire or is unable to keep employees that are at the same standard as herself. Extremely unprofessional in aspect of when a parent has a concern. Does not take children being sick serious at all and seem to just care about money, as stated to parents one week "I need payment, today is pay day and tuition is how I pay my employees" as if a parent doesn't know some of the tuition is for the wages of employees. My child was enrolled there for about 2 months and no one new her actual name and when told her nickname still chose to incorrectly say her full name. Overall out of every center I've encountered Tomlin academy was the most pitiful school I've seen/been too. Some state it's the best around town. Now that is if you consider them to inner city or lower income areas which is were it falls but for the price you can find 10x better education for your child. I could go on and on but I'll spare your time. Run run as fast as you can. Invest in your children else where because this is NOT the place for proper education. read more

Both of my potty trained children peed themselves due to lack of attention. On another occasion my children told me they did not get a drink all day and were so thirsty. I have taken them out of daycare and requested my deposit back and was told it was in the contract I signed that I cannot have the deposit back without two weeks notice. I asked for the copy of my signed contract to confirm and was polite about My inquiry. I was told last week I would be sent my signed contract and this week I am now receiving no response from miss Tomlin at all. If you need quick cheap care they will accept you but if you are looking for quality and professional care I would not recommend going here. read more

He kept telling me how nice it looked, and how he thought it wasn't very dirty. He was in and out of the house very quickly, and we had two sets of stairs, and several rooms to clean. The carpet didn't look much better when he was done, and two months later, it looks much worse that if we hadn't had them "cleaned" at all. I was hoping the "zero residue" would prevent this, but it turns out the only difference is that they use purified water. We are going to have to hire another company to come in and clean properly just to get the carpet to look as good as it did before Zerorez came out to "clean" it.

I am so incredibly grateful and thankful for all of the staff at this academy. They treat every child as if they were their own. The worst thing in the world is having to drop your little one off early in the morning, but what makes it worse is if they are screaming they dont want to be there. That was what me and my child were going through everyday until she started at Tomlin Academy. She has so much fun and I know she is safe. The staff is also really good at communicating any problems or concerns with the parents. It is also well organized and clean. I would recommend this daycare to everyone! read more
