Cedar Bluff Playschool

I wish that there was a way to leave a less than one star review on here. I sent my son here after he had previously attended a very well run daycare in Downtown Knox, but had to transfer him to a West Knox care facility when we moved..

He showed up a bright eyed, well behaved, and happy little boy - and left a year later constantly crying because he didn't want to go to school, coming home with bruises and scratch marks, and apologizing to me most nights because everyone called him a "bad kid". NO THREE YEAR OLD SHOULD EVER FEEL THE WAY THEY HAVE MADE MY CHILD FEEL.

If you want to send your child to a care center that smells like dirty diapers constantly because they only change the trash once a day, or forces your child to pee with the door open so a classroom full of kids can see, feeds kids lunches out of cans everyday, and only allows children (2) half hour recess sessions a day - even on the most beautiful of days - then this is definitely the place for you.

Oh, did I mention that they won't provide you with tax documents, or accept any payments other than cash/check? No camera's in the facility or classrooms either. No locks on the doors. Anyone can walk in at any time. This care facility is truly something out of my worst nightmare based sometime in the early 80's. There's a huge lack of mental stimulation needed to help children in their most impressionable stages, and they are forced to, instead, find ways to entertain themselves in small, dark, and dingy classrooms where they are playing with toys that are mostly broken and contribute next to nothing to their cognitive development.

If you're looking for good, reliable, and educationally challenging care for your child in the West Knox area - I highly suggest you continue looking elsewhere.
