This location proudly maintains a close-knit family feel. Parents frequently comment on how many hugs their children receive. West's separate classrooms provide close attention for younger children and the large school-age classroom features a sunny back porch area for woodworking, painting, or other crafts. The school's small group sizes allow its caring staff to know every child's unique persona

lity. Outside, West offers acres of playground space. In fact, the playground is so big that everyone at the school can go outside at the same time and still have plenty of room, so children can run and play freely under the caring supervision of staff. Tuckaway West also features two swimming pools: a wading pool for budding swimmers, and a larger pool suitable for swimming lessons and play. Tuckaway West can be easy to miss, because it is "tucked away" in the West End (but still convenient to I-64).

Our Yellowbirds had a fun-filled day of hands-on learning and imaginative play!

They explored balance and problem-solving by building with connectors, used Legos to create unique designs while strengthening their creativity and engineering skills, and their imaginations while playing dress up and Barbie’s. Every activity had them using their creativity or problem solving skills and they had the best time learning through play!

Yesterday, Ms. Delaney and Ms.Kylie had the children creating their own sidewalk paint using chalk, and today she wowed them by creating holograms with nothing more than an iPad, magnetic tiles, and a dark room!

Ms. Delaney has done an incredible job engaging the children and finding fun, creative ways for them to explore, experiment, and learn. From hands-on art and science to exciting discoveries, every activity encourages curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning. We can’t wait to see what adventure she has planned next!

As a director, the days are hectic and there’s always something that needs to be done, and to-do list never seems to end.

But sometimes, when the kids ask you to come swimming, you put everything else on hold and go make memories. Even if that means jumping in fully clothed! 😂💦

The smiles, laughter, and joy are always worth it. These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do.

Our Eagles continued to let their imagination and creativity shine today! Using paint markers, they designed and decorated their own hats, creating unique masterpieces that reflected their personalities and artistic talents. It was wonderful to see their creativity come to life as they explored colors, patterns, and new ideas. We love watching our Eagles express themselves through art!
