If zero stars was allowed.....I don't even know where to start here. The daycare is disgusting just beginning 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.

My kids were going there after school and they never came home with any homework done. They just have the children outside playing until pick up. My daughters often complained about being outside in all kinds of weather. My biggest issue is the fact that my children were not in the place they were supposed to be. I was under the impression that my children would be going to tuckaway and the bus driver kicked my kids off the bus and left them at the school. The director whose name is Nicki, told them to leave my children at the school without informing me, over a matter that had nothing to do with payment and a matter that was under control. I even called other parents to see if Tuckaway handled the exact same matter the same way with the other children only to find out that Tuckaway was profiling me and/or my children. I'm not sure if its because I am African american or if I'm a young single parent. I dont think there is any reason to kick children off a bus and leave them at the school if it isn't about payment issues or behavior issues. After the incident I removed my children immediately because they were nice-nasty with me and had no remorse for their actions. They acted as if they wanted my children out and leaving was doing them a favor. Hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone else.
