Parents' Comments
Parent #1
This school is awesome! It has a wonderful staff with the best Director anyone could have. The center has great amenities with a gym, theater that has a big screen tv, and a computer lab. My children love their teachers and the school. They give excellent care and they actually FEED the children real food rather than small portions of snacky type of foods. They feed the children 5 times a day! Sometimes my kids don't eat but 3 times a day when they are with me all day at home. Such a loving staff and a great atmosphere with a Christian setting. I could not say enough about Total Childcare Experience in Covington, GA!

The Director has had several Parent meetings in the gym for SUMMER CAMPS,with a detailed calendar of events with prices.

Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children: are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
This school is VERY CLEAN! I have often seen the Director, and owners cleaning and vacuuming. The bathrooms are clean and the cafeteria is always cleaned after each class leaves so the next class can come into a clean cafeteria. I would like to see a few more units on the playground for the older children like swings. But, there is a big playground for them to play kickball and other games without bumping into each other.
