Description: From infants to after school care, Tuckaway's goal is to offer quality programs for children within a family oriented atmosphere. Tuckaway achieves this goal through a stimulating educational curriculum which is tailored for each child's age and ability. Language development, mathematics, science, social studies, physical activities, and music are a few of the instructional courses children will encounter during their daily schedule. Tuckaway Child Development began in 1971 when Beverly and Karlis Graubics purchased a child care center inthe West End of Richmond, on Tuckaway Lane. Their vision was to provide children something other than being boxed up in a classroom until their parents picked them up; something they would want for their own children. They believed that in addition to providing a quality education, that children should be able to go outside to run, climb, swim, play, and be children! Tuckaway-West, the first center, is situated on 3 acres of land and has 2 swimming pools, ensuring that children have the space and facilities they need to be children! Tuckaway has grown to a family of 6 schools in the Richmond area. Each school has its own unique characteristics, but remain true to the Graubics' original idea; have the space for children to grow and the environment to learn.

As a parent, I would advise anyone considering on enrolling their child here to do a little research and check violations on this center. I was told by management all centers have violations, but these simple violations can result in serious injury or death. For the amount of money you pay here, the service should be better. Also, with the sexual misconduct of the child incident, too much advocation for the abuser. Do you homework, it is ultimately your responsibility as a parent.
