  • We toured Grow Academy in winter 2021 and were told our child would have a spot in/around February 2022. We were told our check would not be cashed until this was confirmed. Now 12+ months later, we have had zero communication from Grow Academy. The check was cashed and the staff has ignored multiple phone calls/voice mails and will not provide an update regarding our child’s status. I encourage parents to be cautious before providing Grow Academy with a deposit based on our poor experience with this facility. In response to Grow Academy's response, we indicated we would accept full or part time care. We have a copy of our form to reflect this. In addition, we never received a phone call about a spot in March.

  • I absolutely love this place. The staff is incredible. They do a wonderful job with both of my kids, and my kids love all of them too. It seems to be well managed, and all of the rooms are much cleaner than some other daycares I've seen. The playground out back is great... when I first saw this place, I had no idea they had so much room around back. It was a pleasant surprise. They serve breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack, which is beyond helpful considering getting out of the hosue in the mornings. Oh and their hours are 7 - 6, which is perfect for me. A+

  • Such a wonderful community of the best teachers and staff. We LOVE Grow Academy and would highly recommend this preschool to anyone in Nashville! My kids are super happy here, they feel safe and have so much fun everyday!

  • All three of our children attend Grow Academy and we absolutely love it! They have had a fantastic experience in the 2.5 years we have been attending. Their teachers are very caring and compassionate, the meal program has a great variety of foods that rarely repeat, the curriculum has really helped our kids to reach developmental goals and the daily reports are amazing. Whenever we have questions they are quickly answered by the Assistant Director who is always accessible and reachable. The bulk of their classrooms have at least one teacher in them that have been there since we began attending and the bonus programs they offer are fantastic (yoga, soccer and tumbling). As working parents, we never have to worry about the quality of care our children receive, they are in great hands when they are there. Highly recommend!

  • Not only are we happy with the staff, but we are very fortunate to have Grow Academy in a great location for us and that they are willing to accommodate our schedule. My daughter has been at Grow since October 2012 and is a graduate from the infant room, in which they helped her to transition well. We love that they provide nutritious meals and snacks, and have a nurturing environment for the kids. My daughter never seems in a hurry to leave when we go to pick her up!

  • My son has been attending Grow Academy since the beginning of the year. It is a perfect location for my husband and I, who both work downtown. We have noticed that our son is learning so many things every day when he is there, coming home with new tricks to surprise Mommy and Daddy with! They have a wonderful, caring staff that my son clearly loves, and we really like all the efforts they make to create happy and healthy environments for all the children. A big beautiful playground area in the back, clean facility, and easy parking/drop off.
