And their integration of physical activity into the daily classroom routine is simply the best we've seen. We've experienced three other daycares, and Little Sunshine Playhouse is by far the best! The teachers, especially Miss Joelle and Miss Paula, have been fundamental in my child's growth. The director, administration, and entire leadership team are all thoughtful, engaged, and really dedicated to helping kids thrive. We couldn't be happier!

It sits far back from the road and forms a campus with the adjoining middle school. - With your eldest at the middle school, it's convenient having all three kids on the same campus. - The leadership (front office, Principal, etc.) have been very good, and are engaged, caring people. - There is a very active PTO here as well. Most of us don't have a choice about public elementary schools, but if you're shopping for a home within the Sunset Elem. district, I can recommend this school to you without reservation.

We love their structure and attention to detail - much more than a "day care", most definitely a school. It's smaller than some other schools in the area, and I love that; I feel like my child doesn't get lost in hundreds of other kids. Tonya and our teachers are amazing and truly care for the children. Can't say enough great things about Goddard.

Our daughter has learn so much since joining Goddard, and looks forward to her visits. The building is beautiful and well laid out with individual classrooms, easy access, great security and outdoor safe play area for the kids. The staff are so warm and caring from the owner Mark, the director Dawn to her teachers Lauren and Erin- they show it every day how much they care for these kids - and I don't want to leave out the other teachers who assist and greet you every time you enter the building, even if they are not your child's teacher. As parents, one of our favorite things is to receive the daily electronic activity report of everything they did during the day as well as pictures - which we can download and keep. We are so happy that we made the choice to enroll her in this school, they have exceeded our expectations.

We've recently researched several local preschools, trying to find the best one for our daughter,…read moreand were really impressed with The Goddard School. The staff is amazing. They responded to our request for more information right away (unlike some of the other well-ranked schools in the area that took weeks to get back to us), offered us an in-depth tour of the school and followed up the next day. You can tell by the kids' reactions that they really love them too. The curriculum is much more than I had expected to find, well-rounded and rather advanced. I love that they include foreign language, music and art throughout the day in various activities, so it's all blended. Also really liked the fact that their teachers are professionals and that they partner with several local organizations to offer in-school activities (Nashville Zoo, Nashville Ballet, etc.). Security was one of our main concerns, and they've definitely invested in that area, so it's much easier for a first time parent to feel their child is safe. All in all we're really glad we found them!

The next thing was the actual school in old Ingram building seems the temp is kinda warmer in the building! Next it's no gym or cafeteria like area no free program for lunch. A lot of unsure ans to questions, not a lot of order when it came to the 1st day. Also the drop off and pick up line is horrible and will have your child late for school due to not being any buses! And if they have a shuttle you have to pay for that as well! The line to pick up will have you waiting over a hour for pick up! It's really been all summer and better actions and planning should have been put in place since they know a lot of thing are not in place to make things easier! The school should consider single parents time and money with having to prepare children for school plus handle a day work and also have to make sure the children are doing there best! Also the outside workers for the parking should be better at communicating and doing a better job to ensure drop off and pick up are done in a respectful and timely manner!

Please Please read this before taking or leaving your child here. I know it is long but it is the…read moretruth I would not recommend sending your child to Young Scholars Preschool. The owner of this preschool goes through employees like water. She cannot retain them due to how she treats them. She chastises them for any and every little thing right in front of parents, which I found extremely unprofessional. In the 7 months that our son was in her care, I cannot even count the number of employees she had. Because of this high turnover, the kids do not know what to expect day to day and the staff does not have the proper training to deal with kids, especially behavior issues. When my husband went to pick my son up from Young Scholars Preschool the day we decided to pull him out, the staff did not know who he was, even though he had been there 3 weeks prior. The staff tried to call the owner of the preschool because she was not on-site, and she did not answer her phone. Due to the high turnover and lack of training, they did not know to look in my child's file to see photos of the parents so they could verify identity. When my husband did end up speaking with the owner of the preschool about our concerns, her response was "that is too bad". It was very disappointing that she did not care we had concerns and issues about the behavior our son was exhibiting the last few months he was in her care ranging from very angry, crying and not wanting to be dropped off, and coming home multiple days in a row with wet pants. The preschool owner spends more time making sure a sheet is filled out each day detailing every single book they read, what is eaten (all breakfast and lunch is provided by the parents), and bathroom trips, rather than focusing on the child and learning. It is my belief that a preschool should teach more than tracing ABC's each day and repeating a letter before going to the restroom. Each month parents are required to pay an activity fee. It turns out, this activity fee in addition to a bouncy house which is a fun thing, is used to feed the children donuts, pizza, and a large bag of candy that the kids are sent home with. We are not a candy-free household, but we do not feel that a 2 1/2 year old needs to be sent home with a bag of candy each month. We did not appreciate the extra money per month being spent on junk to feed our child when we were told that the kids were going to be fed healthy snacks. In addition to the monthly activity, the daily snacks fed to the kids are full of sugar such as juice barrels. Always be sure to check the DHS website to see how many violations a pre-school or daycare has. In the 7 months our son was at Young Scholars Preschool, Young Scholars Preschool had 8 violations. I find this completely unacceptable especially when they range from taking away food as punishment, not keeping the heat at the minimum temperature required, and more violations you can look at for yourself: http://tennessee.gov/humanservices/article/find-child-care In close, do not send your child to Young Scholars Preschool. She puts on a good front, but as time goes on, you can see through the façade of what is supposed to be taught and fed and the school, but is not. After all was said and done we also had to pay her out for the last 2 weeks due to no notice. She even threatened to send us to collection. If we where not in the middle of buying a new home we would have fought her in court. But that is not feasible for us at this time for us.
