    My thinking is if you send your kid to day care, and trust someone with being a part of the…read moreupbringing of your child, then it had damn well better be a five-star experience. My wife used to work for TN DHS, which is the state agency which among many other things, audits child care programs and rates them. So, needless to say, she knew what to look for and had heard horror stories about the industry going into the search. Child care programs are assigned zero to three stars based on many criteria including education, compensation, educator/child ratio, etc. I am sure most parents don't look into these before packing off their little ones, because there is a rather large facility near my house that is PACKED and is a zero star place - all of this info is public information. So when we started looking for a place to take care of our impending child, my wife who is ultra picky anyway, ascended to a higher plane of selectivity. We looked around a LOT, and there were a ton of differences even between the high-ranked places. We found one place we really liked, but it was one of the most expensive in town by a HUGE margin. Then we found Cheekwood. One of the big differences with Cheekwood was the way they seemed to have people that genuinely loved children as we toured. And by that, I mean it was like the love for one's own child, not just 'people who like kids'. So that really resonated with us from the get-go. Their excellent track record with the state all the way across the board didn't hurt either. Now, 22 months into it, I can say I have been very, very pleased with the level of care this facility has given my son. We started him off when he was around four months, and the staff at Cheekwood has been amazing every day since day 1. We get great feedback on our son's progress and he always comes home with something new he has learned that surprises us. They have also been fantastic accommodating our special religious and dietary needs for our little guy, too. So yeah, Cheekwood Child Development Center is the bomb. It may be tough to get into, but there's a great reason for it.

    This is so much more than simply a "daycare". This truly is a great preschool educational…read moreenvironment. My children were much better prepared for school thanks to the great caregivers there. I feel like my time with Cheekwood was a great benefit for my children.

They never followed up with me to say they were too busy for lessons, and never called me back. If they can't follow up with client inquiries, I can only imagine how they are with teaching swimming.

    What a disorganized company. Their website/app is very difficult to understand and the swim coaches…read moreadmit to it being hard to use. If they decide to reschedule any or all of your appointments, the management isn't good about entering them into the system. We were told we missed an appointment, when clearly the error was with the website/app not being changed properly. The swim coach texted me prior to our lesson, to say we missed our appointment and that she didn't have to squeeze us in somewhere else. She stated she has "things after work". My 5 year old was so upset because she wanted to swim and we were driving there to be there on time. At this point I'm done with this company. We will find a better program. Now let's discuss the actual lessons. This is not for kids who are comfortable in the water and need lessons to teach strokes. These coaches, spend lots of time having the kids blow bubbles in the water, go under water and other very basic things. I witnessed other lessons going on and there wasn't much actual swim instruction going on. My child had been learning freestyle in another program, prior to our move to this area, and this coach had to be told multiple times that my child needs help learning to breath on her side and kicking while doing the arms. We had one lesson where the coach didn't even get in the pool with my child. Instead she made her exit the pool and lay on the pool chairs so she could show her how to kick. The lesson program we came from (in Kentucky) was very organized and had lists that each level was working on. They had a program that each coach followed and you could see the kids advancing. Worden Aquatics did not have anything organized about these lessons. For $55 a lesson, I expected a lot more. I expected our lessons to not be moved around so much. I expected the coach to teach at the level my child needs. I also expected management to communicate properly with clients and actually book the lessons they say they will book. Instead you end up paying for lessons where the child isn't advancing in their skills or they botch the lesson time and refuse to reschedule or refund.
