I have used this provider for less than 6 months

The staff is wonderful, caring and professional. The facility is clean and child friendly. My son has learned new songs and increased his vocabulary in the short time he has attended.

My kids have attended since the school opened in 2012. We have been very pleased with their infant care up to preschool and look forward to staying for Pre-K when the time comes. The teachers have been so caring and have taught my children well. This is the third daycare we have attended since moving to Murfreesboro and is the only one we have felt truly happy with leaving our children for the day. We decided not to put a limit on our childcare budget and to go with the school we felt like would provide the best education as well as learning through play. My three year old comes home speaking in Laos! What other school teaches that? As well as being able to write his name, sing songs like America the Beautiful, sight read, tell time... at the age of 3. Love this school.

Do not take your child to this school! They are only interested in money, you can tell by their rates. the education is not good. if your child misses turning 5 before the Aug. 15th cutoff , they aren't accredited to bypass that cut off. The company running these schools is greedy and make questionable management decisions. There are better and more affordable schools out there, keep looking.
