DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! Former staff speaking here!…read moreThe playground there is a black top nightmare. It reminds me of a prison school yard. The kids can take out the toys, but there aren't many options for the small black top yard. The lack of kitchen is another thing. All the food is microwaved and there are no fresh meals except peanut butter sandwiches sometimes. The staff are rude to the children and talk bad about them constantly in front of other children. Some of them play favorites and it shows. Some of the staff are also lazy. Miss Martha would leave an autistic child strapped into a high chair for hours on end just so she didn't have to keep him out of trouble. She would leave him in a soiled diaper all day long, not changing it unless absolutely needed. Then would also send him back to the toddler room so she didn't have to watch him. The toddler room teacher let this boy roam free and just kept an extra close eye on him, which he needed. Another one of the teachers would complete her school work while she was supposed to be monitoring the children. They constantly over ratio the students and the lack of toys and books is disgusting. The toys are kept out of reach of the children and they are not allowed to play with them unless the teacher says. They only have a slim selection of toys as the owner does not want to keep buying them after the kids break them, a typical expense of running a daycare. The books are nonexistent for the same reason. If a child's play breaks anything, she doesn't replace it and leaves no resources for the kids to engage with, constantly getting them in trouble with the teachers for misbehaving due to boredom. And don't even get me started on the lack of care. I witnessed illegal issues and brough it up to the owner only to be ignored after providing the documentation requested. The owner's sister is a joke. She only cooks and never helps with the kids properly. When she does, she's short and rude. Her daughter is also a huge bully to the other students and she tantrums when they don't what she wants to do. The teachers were instructed not to make copies of resources to teach the children. We were told to only print when needed but were expected to keep the children educated and entertained with no resources, educational videos, or worksheets/activities. Some of the staff were very friendly and loved the children like their own, Azra, Pashtoon, and Badriya in particular, but the rest of the staff were short, rude, and cared for only the money. Do not send your child here if you care for them!

Her home was very clean and orderly with the children happy and well behaved. I was very impressed!! I am a stay at home mother not really because we can afford it but because I have felt by the day care options where I live due to quality interaction and price we cannot afford for me not to stay home...If Janet was available in Nashville I would feel completely at ease leaving my precious girl with her. Janet has a caring, easy, direct way about her that you will much appreciate!! I encourage you to use her services anytime! She offers caring interaction and activities with your child! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to find her while visiting this city! What a blessing!!

Do not recommend. Not while the head of school is in charge unchecked by the school board.

Sending my children to Monsignor McHugh was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made in my life and the lives of my children. While at Mchugh I learned that a teacher, who still teaches there according to their website, would direct students in her 2nd grade class to massage her during the school day. Upon reporting this most inappropriate behavior no disciplinary/corrective action was taken against the teacher by the School Administration. When our daughter entered public school she was behind as a result of the substandard education provided by Monsignor McHugh.

Stepping Stones is hands down the best school in the area (and they have a second location right by…read morethe outlets, if that is more convenient for you)! I would never send my kids anywhere else. I toured a few other daycare's in the area, and stepping stones was by far the cleanest. The staff was also the nicest. They were all very welcoming and had a welcoming, genuineness to them. I have heard horror stories about other surrounding daycare's, including that the teachers let the kids out of their sight and the kids have wandered into the streets! That is utterly ridiculous. I don't know how those places are sill in business! These are your children! If you have to part with them, then you might as well rest easy knowing they are safe! Stepping stones gives me that peace of mind while I am away from my baby! The owner, Nicole, is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She has YEARS of experience dealing with children and she is very communicative if there are ever any issues. I wish she would work as my personal child-sitter, but alas... hahaha! Anyway, I highly recommend this daycare. If you are a nervous/overprotective parent (like me), then this is the place for you! Do yourself a favor and take a tour! You will see what I am talking about!!
