Quite simply a great place for childcare! In terms of facility, teacher quality, value, and ease of use Tide Pools stands head-and-shoulders above the competition. The building is clean, organized, well appointed, and secure. Physical entry is assigned and exclusive, with all staff members adequately trained and effective at security measures. The play area is protected from the road and provides plenty of room to play and explore nature. Classrooms are spacious and sectioned into various centers providing ample room for imaginations. The care givers are knowledgeable and extraordinarily caring. My preschooler was excited to attend Tide Pools every day, a large part of that was enthusiasm to be with his teachers! The director knows her families and takes time to ensure the care she provides meets individual needs. Tuition reflects market rates, however provides exceptional value in the quality of care and level of education. The director and staff are willing to work with evolving family needs and provide daily reports of eating habits and personal care. I could go on and on... look no further than Tide Pools.

I cannot say enough about Tide Pools Learning Center! My husband and I are so happy with this center. Our son goes 3 days a week and loves it. The center is a beautifully renovated home (with access granted through a security app πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ» - so you know your child is safe) and is so appealing to all of their developing senses. It is CLEAN - like really clean and bright, organized and so welcoming. The director and staff are bar none the best in area. They aren’t on their phones letting the kids run wild (which we encountered elsewhere) they are engaged and playing with the kids. The age appropriate curriculum is fun and all of the crafts they do are so sweet. Their outdoor play area is a large, fenced in (with security alarm) area where the kids can play to their hearts content. As a military family we move around a lot and have seen a lot of day cares - honestly nothing compares to Tide Pools. Run - don’t walk...you WANT a spot there.

This is a great place for my grandchildren! They spend their days there doing fun and educational activities that enhance their knowledge and develop their social skills. The staff are caring, engaged and focused on the children. The owner has worked for many years as a teacher and a consultant, bringing that experience and a passion for helping children to this preschool. The facility is newly renovated with a fun theme and is very clean and beautiful. My grandchildren have attended two other daycares in the area and this is best one by far. Highly recommended!
