Pros- I love how quiet this place is and how fast and efficient the computers are. Internet here is never shoddy. Everyone that comes here comes here to study so you really get this studious feel. Minimal distractions. Really the spot for studying. Cons- parking. I don't have classes this semester on campus ! I take most of my classes online or in person at SECEP. This means I don't have a parking pass so guess what !!! I'm always having to bring tons of coins with me and when I'm spending an evening here .. I constantly have to walk out to the meters to put in more coins in and honestly .. it's a hike when you're under a time crunch. Also .. there isn't much metered parking to begin with ? Sometimes I come here (aka finals week) and there's only one metered spot left. Maybe next semester I'll just bite the bullet and buy a parking pass (it's over priced btw in my opinion) for the convenience especially because I really love going here to study but I really hate the parking situation.

If you're a business major you will most likely be visiting this building. Took some classes here…read morewhen I was at TCC, you must have a decal to park here since it is an ODU establishment. For anyone planning on going to TCC and transferring to ODU in the VB area this is something to consider (keep reading). It's also affiliated with NSU, that's as far is I know since I'm not a student there. The classes in currently taking are distance learning and in person. Now that I'm attending ODU, I really learned to appreciate the Higher Ed Center. I commute to ODU's main campus out in Norfolk and it's such a hassle considering the fact that you have to go on the highway, pray you find a parking spot (parking in Norfolk sucks), and make it to class on time. During the winter times the circulation in my legs froze midway walking to the Perry...it's not fun. If you're always on the go, works full time, and wants to save money -attending classes here is your best bet. It's on the smaller side, two stories, they have a tiny ODU/NSU library with computers and tables, Wave Cafe that serves Filipino food, and you can get your parking pass here too ($124/one semester). They do have people that check your decal so beware! I learned my lesson the other day bc I thought I was being slick parking in a discreet area next to a tree. Walked out and saw that darn piece of paper on my windshield and my hard earned $15 bucks out of pocket.

It started with a reminder call from Sharon yesterday in which I was told I could come in a little earlier than scheduled and also advised to bring a jacket or sweater if I'm cold-natured.

The restroom is clean with super hot water at the faucet. The lockers were clean. The temperature in the room was actually perfect for me, though I did wear a denim jacket. The cubicles were clean. And again, the staff were just really nice people!

We have had a wonderful experience with this center and highly recommend it. The teachers are engaging, friendly, and truly care for the kids. Despite the fact that this is a city of high turnover with the military population, there are many teachers who have been there since we first enrolled, and some who have been there for over 10 years. It's incredibly reassuring to know that the staff is so dedicated to childcare. When our oldest had been there for about 6 months, a spot opened up for us to move here to one of the military Child Development Centers. We declined the spot and stayed with Kindercare because we are so happy with the care provided.

If you're looking for a center where your child consistently comes home with diaper rashes and…read morestaff who seem to treat childcare as just another job rather than a profession they're passionate about, this may be the place for you. My son came home with a diaper rash almost every day while attending this center. Despite using the same diapers, wipes, and products at home without any issues, staff repeatedly suggested that he was suddenly allergic to them or to foods he was eating at daycare--even though he eats the same foods at home without any reaction. Instead of addressing the recurring issue, it often felt like excuses were being made rather than taking responsibility. Cleanliness was another major concern. The classrooms, particularly the infant and toddler rooms, did not appear to be maintained to the standard I expected. The rugs where children crawl, play, and lie down often appeared dirty. Although there is supposed to be a no-shoes policy in these rooms, I frequently observed adults walking through with their shoes on in the same areas where the children spend most of their time. The professionalism of the staff was also disappointing. Several employees came across as rude or dismissive when concerns were raised. It was discouraging to feel that legitimate issues were not taken seriously. I also learned that staffing shortages seemed to prevent management from addressing ongoing concerns, which only added to my frustration. Perhaps the most concerning comment I heard was from staff members who said they would not enroll their own children at this center. Hearing that from employees themselves raised serious concerns about the confidence they had in the care being provided. This daycare has the potential to be a great center, but in my experience, significant improvements are needed in cleanliness, professionalism, communication, and the quality of care provided to infants and toddlers. Unfortunately, my family's experience was not a positive one, and I would not choose to bring my child back nor recommend it to other families.

Beware these wolves in sheep's clothing!…read more LearningRx is a scam business. And the owners, Bill and Annette McLean, are the worst sort of scam artists, who prey on loving parents who are desperate to see their children succeed. They market themselves as Christians, and advertise on Christian radio and elsewhere; and when you meet them, they talk a lot about how their faith and love of children led them into this line of work. But DO NOT BE DECEIVED: The only thing they seem to worship is the Almighty Dollar, and they will do anything, tell any lie to get your money (and it is a LOT of money -- a full course of "brain training" costs close to $10,000). They will look you in the eye and emphatically say "I promise" when guaranteeing that you'll see dramatic results, or you'll get a refund. When those results failed to happen, they pointed to the "fine print" in the contract that gives them an out, because their solemn word as so-called "Christians" counts for nothing. The McLeans may be good at swindling people, but they are utterly unqualified to help children with learning disabilities. After my daughter failed to see any improvement whatsoever, we took her to a real professional, who correctly diagnosed and treated her learning disability (and for significantly less money). Today, she's a good student with mostly A's who enjoys learning--No thanks to LearningRx!

This is a place where the impossible happens! We first brought our daughter to this center unsure…read moreof what they could do and uncertain of what if any changes we would see in her upon completing a program. She was in the SECEP program and had been for two years. She was diagnosed as having mild autism, but that only means her abilities were not as limited as other children who are higher on the spectrum, not that school was any easier for her than others. In fact, starting school soon showed us that we were in for a nightmare. She begged and begged to stay home, she cried and pleaded. It wasn't until finally being put in the SECEP program two years ago that things began to look up. However, after those two years, she plateaued and we were again at an impass. That's when I stumbled on the website for Learning Rx. It is now Hailey's first year as an officially registered student at her school, rather than registered at the SECEP program located at her school. You have to understand, her journey is just beginning, she is still in a special needs program, the hardest part of beginning this journey was getting out of SECEP. We thought this to be an unattainable goal, but now, here she is and her future looks so much brighter than ever! The changes we have seen take place in our daughter seem like nothing short of a miracle to us. She still continues to improve and her journey isn't over, but her attention span, ability to focus, auditory processing, memory and so many other abilities are light years ahead of what they were when we first brought her in. Do not come in expecting an overnight one session or one program miracle, just come in expecting the unexpected and keep an open mind. These folks know their stuff, period!
