Description:
Welcome to the TLC family! TLC Recreation Center, located in Fort Walton Beach, FL, offers before and after school care, all day daycare for infants to 5 years old, VPK, and care when Okaloosa County scools are closed. TLC offers transportation to and from most public schools. Are you looking for a place your child will want to go for all day childcare? Our VPK program offers preparatory skils to help children get ready for kindergarten. We do not believe in nickle and diming our parents. What you pay each week covers all food, activities and transportation. Meals include breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack. There is no fee for fieldtrips! We also offer multi child and military discounts!
At TLC, we believe in the development of the whole child. Through a quality program, TLC will provide care and education based on best practices.
Our curriculum is designed to focus on the creative, emotional, intellectual, physical, and social growth of each individual.... The purpose of our approach is to foster competency in the young child. While the emphasis is on children, family involvement is encouraged and supported.
We have several goals for children.
~ to be competent and confident in their abilities
~ to be self-directed in a constru...ctive, creative manner
~ to be successful in future educational experiences
~ to develop a love for learning and the ability to know how to learn
~ to develop self-control and a sense of right and wrong
~ to feel good about who they are
~ to learn cooperation with other children as well as adults
~ to reach their full potential in emotional, intellectual, physical and social development
Preschool is always scary at first for both the child and the parent, but once you both meet the staff and experience the facility, you'll know you found a great place for child care needs.
We want children to have fun and enjoy being a kid.

If you are considering this facility, please do your child and yourself a favor and as soon as you walk in walk out. The facility is unclean, animals running around, and staff that does not watch over the children. They frequently change their contracts to their liking despite being funded by the ELC. Enacting exorbitant fees that working parents can not help. They offered a 10-hour waiver for years and then abruptly ended it without any valid explanation. They do not have cameras in the facilities and will not install them. My child has been significantly hurt there many times. Recently a black eye that lasted for 4 days due to their negligence. Please follow in the footsteps of other parents in these reviews and report report. They take advantage of the fact that they are one of the few daycares with openings because parents frequently leave.
Edited to add;
Search for the CARES Search tool in Google and you can see a list of all the inspections they have had had and the violations they received. Also edited to add that they have stated it's not a DCF requirement to report any daily activities of your child unless they are one and under. When asked if they would regardless they offered only a one word response "No". This response came after they discriminated against my child and stopped reporting anything after I confronted them on numerous issues after receiving reports well after a year old....No childcare facility should make your child's daily activities including meals, diaper changes, nap times and activities a secret for their eyes only or selectively to parents. Compounded wirh no cameras and no current lock or code to enter the building. They do not even have a staff member to watch the doors. Nor do they actually check the log in activities on the computer before releasing a child. They actually had to send out messages making sure parents were checking out their children correctly .. this is alarming as a parent. No parent should ever have to be disrespected and locked out of their child's lives by a daycare center claiming to care for your child. Ultimate bait and switch. We promise to look after your child but we won't tell you what goes on even if asked. It is family owned and they will deflect and defend themselves if you bring any singular issue up to them. DCF was made aware and owners stated that they told them to just keep doing what they were doing....Appalling!
