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.

I am very disappointed with my experience at Primrose. I started sending my little one there half…read moreday, and already at the third day I realized something was off. I sent her 4 days half day the first week, and 3 days half day the second week. That's when I decided to give withdrawal notice and quit without hesitation. I'm relieved she is not there anymore, and we started in a new daycare FULL-DAY and she is already doing better, and I take her home being her normal self. We started there because the facility was supposed to be top notch. That's not the case at all. I'm relieved that my child is no longer there. The lack of care and attention is remarkable. And my kid as well other kids needs were not prioritized. It started becoming a priority only when I gave notice that my kid wasn't going back. That's when they started calling and saying "we will be more considerate of your kid crying and feelings, and we will try not to let her cray all day". And I know kids need time to adapt, but no one really genuinely helped her or took time to care. She was left to cry while laying there who knows for how long. And the app that they use to update parents and provide pictures? Forget about it. No feedback was ever provided on how her day went. Her updates were not updated, and when they were it was because I would call and ask. And even then, there were inconsistencies. For example, changes of diaper while napping, or updates about her drinking her bottle but I would go and pick her up and her bottle was still there, or that she woke up from her nap while I was literally entering the classroom and she was sleeping AGAIN. Pictures were sent only the first day, and that was it. Bottom line, they would leave her to cry and cry herself to sleep constantly. Not to talk about lies. They would constantly say she didn't cry she had a beautiful day, while the little one was still sobbing. Or the day I went to pick up her stuff, on of the directors at the entrance told me "your little one is cuddling in the classroom". My kid never went to day care that day, she was already out of there. Those are just examples, but I could go on and on. And she was there just for a very short period of time. And I already feel awful I sent her to such a horrible place. This place is not a daycare, is a money making facility. PLEASE, DO NOT SEND YOUR KID HERE. LOOK ELSEWHERE. THEY ONLY CARE ANOUT MONEY AND NOT THE CHILDREN.

They made the enrollment process easy and immediately put us at ease. The teachers and staff are truly some of the best people you'll ever meet. It's obvious they genuinely love what they do, and they care for the children as if they were their own. One thing that really stands out is the food--they serve healthy, well-balanced, thoughtfully planned meals each week, which gives us such peace of mind. As a parent, one of my favorite things is the communication throughout the day. Receiving pictures, updates, and little glimpses into my child's day means more than I can put into words. Those updates are such a thoughtful touch and something I truly appreciate. Like many first-time parents, I had plenty of nerves about sending my child to daycare. But Little Sunshine's quickly erased those fears. We've always felt confident that our child is safe, loved, learning, and thriving every single day! Shout out to Miss Josie and Miss Kaitlyn who go above and beyond. I truly can't say enough good things about this daycare. If you're looking for a place where your child will be genuinely cared for, this is it. 10/10--I recommend Little Sunshine's Playhouse to every parent I know!

We have been with Little Sunshine's Playhouse of Hendersonville since they opened and are so happy…read morewith our decision to enroll our children here! Both kids are absolutely thriving in the warm, supportive environment at LSP. The school itself is beautiful, clean and modern. It's a nut-free facility, including peanuts. The director, Heather, and all of the staff are friendly and caring. Miss Elizabeth and Ms. Melissa are phenomenal helping to support our child's potty training efforts and encouraging her creativity. Ms. Allie and Ms. Lyssi are absolute cheerleaders for our little one's development and give us wonderfully detailed daily updates on his activities and accomplishments. LSP has a proprietary, user-friendly app for daily check in/check out, real-time updates (eating, diaper changes, etc) and sharing photos/videos. Seeing real-time updates helps parents follow their child's day and gives the opportunity to call or message with any questions or concerns. LSP a definitely a top tier childcare facility in this area. Tuition includes everything aside from diapers (food, baby wipes, even baby formula!). Linens for nap cots, cribs and even sleep sacks are provided and laundered daily. All meals and snacks, made in-house daily by their chef, are varied and healthy. Also included are extra curriculars! Every week our 3 year old has dance and karate classes. During the summer they had soccer lessons and water play days on the playground. They also have enrichment activities provided by their staff, like Spanish class with Ms. Josie and yoga with Mr. David. Our kiddo gets so excited for the extra curricular activities, which she likely wouldn't be able to participate in otherwise due to our work schedules. The thing that has impressed us the most at LSP is their understanding that all children develop at their own pace and they are willing to work with families on each child's timeline. For example, our baby wasn't ready to give up breastmilk at exactly 12 months, so his teachers worked with him to embrace eating solid foods during the day and gradually wean. LSP is also flexible with appointment schedules and accommodating drop offs even if they may coincide with nap time. LSP also does a wonderful job offering monthly special events to help include families, for example, Father's Day mini golf, Thanksgiving lunch, and a holiday singing program. They vary the times of these events (morning/lunch/end of day) to help accommodate parents' work schedules. I highly recommend LSP to anyone looking for high-quality childcare!
