Tuskawilla Presbyterian School

We absolutely LOVE TCP preschool. This is our sons second year here. He started in the 1s class. All of the teachers are truly the best. They love and care for your child as if their own. I never have a worry when bringing him everyday. Always welcomed with the biggest smiles. They do so many amazing programs with the kids and keep the parents involved. Awesome events for parents and families throughout the year as well. I couldn’t of found a better school for our son. Thank you TCP ❤️

TPC is my kids home away from home! We have been apart of the TPC family from the 2 year old class all the way through their VPK program. Their program has far exceeded our expectations. Each day, we are met in the car line with love, smiles and warmth. I leave knowing my babies are loved, happy, excited to learn and taken care of with the utmost care. Their curriculum is top notch. I am constantly complimented from other people on how well my kids behave and how far along they are and I truly attribute that to TPC. My son started kindergarten ready and ahead of the game! My little one, who has always been my shy one, runs to his teachers for a hug each and everyday and comes home happy and excited to tell me about his day. The directer of the school has been such a blessing to my family. She is the sweetest, most understanding and loving person! She listens and cares for the kids as if they were her own. All do the teachers truly do. TPC is nothing but a blessing and I feel so thankful we found such a sweet preschool ❤️

This preschool was recommended to us by many people and we have family members that have attended in the past. We signed up our son for the 1 year old class and we were so excited. He was 15 months at the time. We knew that the transition wouldn’t be easy for him and that he would have some separation anxiety. We were assured that they would work with him to make him feel comfortable and help him adjust to his new environment. Our son attended for two days before getting sick. He ended up being hospitalized and had to miss school for the following week. We were concerned about him starting over and re-adjusting to his class after being absent for a week. We reached out to his teacher and she assured us that she would help him with transition if he got upset. When he returned back, we asked each and every day how his day was and we were always told he was okay, but he didn’t eat much. We figured that he would feel comfortable eating as time went on. By the 4th day, the director brought our son out and explained that he has been having a challenging time and was crying for most of the day. This was never communicated to us by his teacher any of the other days we’ve picked him up. They explained to us that they’d like to work together to come up with a plan to help him get acclimated and that they of course would do whatever we felt comfortable with. My husband and I felt as if consistency is key and we would like for him to attend each day to help build relationships and get used to the routine and we shared that with the director. It takes children, especially 1 year olds, anywhere from 4-6 weeks to get used to a preschool setting. 4 days was not enough time. She ended up calling us telling us that each day was no longer an option for our son. She could only offer 2 days. I explained that this was his first full week of 4 consecutive days. I asked if there was a way we could see how he does next week to give him more time to adjust. It was then that she shared that our son had to removed from his class nearly everyday. That was never communicated with us by his teacher. We didn’t hear of any negative behaviors until we spoke to the director. We should have been informed by his teacher each day. Especially since we asked every day at pick up and we kept communication open through email. They didn’t provide us any options moving forward and no follow through in saying we would work together to come up with a plan and that they would do whatever we felt comfortable with. They told me they already spoke to the “board” and they could only allow him to attend 2 days. I explained that there would be a 5 day gap between his visits and that he wouldn’t be able to get adjusted. If anything, it would make the situation worse. We ended up pulling our son out of the program. We were extremely upset with how the situation played out. The lack of communication with his teacher was extremely disappointing. If we had heard the extent of his troubles, we would have reached out, sought help, and worked with our son. The treatment of our family was very disheartening. We entrusted them with the care of our child and we feel as if he wasn’t given any opportunity to be successful. Fortunately, we found a new location for our son. He’s been there for two weeks now and is adjusting well, eating, and is thriving. We wanted to share a full and detailed account of our experience. Finding the right childcare is a lot of work! We hope no other family has an experience like ours.

I had to come on here and tell all about TPS. My daughter who is now 19, still talks about her days at TPS. I do too. Back in 2005, you had to wait overnight to get your child into the school. I thought this was crazy. I felt like it was a concert I was waiting to get tickets for back in the day before online ticketmaster but after touring the school and meeting the director at the time, I knew this school was the perfect fit for my once shy little girl. I was right, it was the perfect fit! My daughter flourished at TPS. Every teacher, every staff member was amazing. I cried at her graduation. I was so sad to leave the TPS family. When I say she still remembers those days at TPS, I am not lying. TPS made a huge impact on myself and my daughter. If you are considering another pre-school or TPS, I highly recommend you choose TPS, the best little preschool.

The warmest church I've ever been to. As a member for 15 years I will always recommend this house of God to all I see and meet. A church is made by its members and we are a family!
