Author: Shauna Gabriel Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/30/2023, 10:22:11 AM Review: TLC is amazing! The teachers love & care for the students like their own children. TLC has given my family a tremendous opportunity to attend a top school outside of our zoned school. The curriculum at TLC has excelled my oldest child into the 96% for her age group, putting her into honors classes in elementary school. This opportunity grandfathers my two younger children into a top rated port orange elementary school also . So if you’re considering your child for kindergarten at TLC I would highly recommend it! ----- Author: Luba Sullivan Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/17/2023, 12:52:34 AM Review: Moving here from TN where kids went to a private Christian school with the best curriculum, I was so excited to find out same curriculum was used here. The teachers are phenomenal! The director put child care and education at the highest priority. Hands down the best preschool around!

Love that they are a christian based school. ♥️ ----- Author: Morgan Pendergast Rating: 1/5 Date: 10/7/2022, 1:12:45 PM Review: Believe the other reviews when they say the director is rotten. Your child and their education do not come first here. My child was harassed and mistreated by her constantly. The children are cooped up in a tiny classroom all day long, 5-6 year olds with no music, art or PE class. Just repetitive and unchallenging work. The children are left in the care of unlicensed, impatient and uneducated personnel because the director has forced all of the experienced and knowledgeable staff out over the last few years. I could say terrible things about her over the last three years of attending TLC but I’ll stick to unprofessional, rude, abrasive and greedy. Good grief I am glad I stood up for my child and left this awful place. The only similarity between this place and a Christian church is that they care more about hoarding money and status than actually helping children and families. ----- Author: Lilly Gilbert Rating: 1/5 Date: 7/7/2021, 4:27:15 PM Review: This child care facility is unprofessional, especially the director. She is abrasive, rude, uncaring, dismissive, and has no desire to come to solutions through dialogue and communication. They do not put children first, they do not put Christian values first. If there is a concern, problem solving dialogue is not used at all. When a child comes home with injuries from another child over and over this should be addressed. Instead, if the aggressor or the family of the agrees is known by the director then she will let the abuse continue. She will attempt to say the other child is provoked and that’s why this is happening—even though there is video to the contrary. I am so shocked this place continues to be open and that she has not been replaced. Do not send your child here. I am a professional in the community and I am appalled at how this day care is run.

I could be here for days raving about TLC kids care. I called over 20 places to get my child on a wait list and I was honest about why we started daycare so late, having multiple family emergencies. Tracey (the director) was incredibly empathetic and helpful the entire way and got us in with Amanda in very short notice. The WHOLE staff is smiling and generous and always cleaning. I can’t imagine a better daycare. My daughter is now with Kelly F for Pre-K and I whole heartedly trust this team to take the best care of my daughter. I literally can’t say enough about this place. Truly a God send!
TLC is professional, caring, clean, and kind! 100% recommend Ms.Tracey and her wonderful teachers to anyone , I hands-down would not bring my son anywhere else!
This school is a joke and though I do like MOST of the teachers this school should have a zero tolerance for teachers who can't keep their hands to themselves. Especially when it was clear as day on camera what had accured and where the bruises on my child's butt came from. The director is trash and definitelydid not put the safetyof my child first yet protectedthe imageof the school. The school my daughter is in now I have yet once been asked to donate money or buy this or buy that or go buy tents and sleeping bags to donate to a gift basket that the school auctions off to parents. If u don't participate in the DONATIONS DONATIONS DONATIONS I can promise u that u are frowned upon by the director and definitely treated differently. I have witnessed the director act unprofessional and be a straight bully to Littles that should never be made to feel less than at the age of 3!!! I honestly think it's insane Mrs Tracey has been able to bully the kids she doesn't care for as long as she has, but I guess it is the teachers that make the school so if u have a good one that works for ur child and u at TLC honestly that is great but watch for bruises when it comes to children that can't tell u exactly what happened.. I will say ur babies are well taken care of, Mrs. Stacia and Tarrin and Ms Kathy are the best u can find when it comes to the baby babies being well cared for along with Amanda and Savanah.. Rant over point is don't be fooled my the director listen to ur gutt at all times..

I went to this school when I was a child and now my son goes to this school and I wouldn’t let him go anywhere else in Volusia county! The staff treats your kids like they are their own! I couldn’t recommend this school enough!!
TLC staff is phenomenal. They have treated my children as family since beginning there over two years ago. Ms. Stasia has had both my children in the one year old class and the growth they make with her while making them feel happy, cared for, and safe at school is extraordinary. Mrs. Jenn is such a positive influence on greeting my children daily by name and genuinely caring about their interests. While we have had MANY wonderful teachers over the years, Ms. Amanda has made my older son LOVE coming to school and facilitates a classroom full of love and learning. I know my children are truly cared for when leaving them in their care. Ms. Tracy, the director, sets clear expectations and structure for staff and students which allows for exponential and extraordinary growth and development in all areas of well rounded children.
