  • Had my daughter’s first birthday here and it was great!!! There was plenty of space for all of the adults and kids and they were entertained the whole time. Super Kind and helpful staff, and the owner is amazing.

  • My little man has been coming to Kids Cove for a few months and I have to say it’s amazing what they are doing. We live in a time where child care is as much if not more than a mortgage. Kids Cove’s pricing in their packages are a blessing for parents that can’t afford $1,500 a month for child care. Thank you guys for being honest people!

  • Our kids have been going here for about a year now and this place has been a blessing to have a place to drop our kids off when we need to! We moved here and don’t have family to watch kids anymore. The staff is great and I love the updates they give me through the day. If they have time, I get pictures that my daughter ate or just of her having fun! She’s not potty trained so they update me on all diaper changes. Even if there’s a little boo-boo that she fell they alert me immediately. They staff is so easy to work with and they are accommodating. The pricing is very affordable!

  • I love their POP in service where they send a sitter to you house. I am a stay at home mom, I have no relatives or friends here yet since I moved here this year for my husband’s dream job. I really just needed some help to reset my mental sanity and Rebecca was AMAZING with our 20 month old!!! Loved her!!! She was a God-send and my babygirl was entertained and so happy with her new bff 🥹🥰☺️ And I was able to get some things done without being interrupted every 2 seconds. We both had a better day because of Rebecca! They played and read stories and it was amazing.

  • Love, Love, LOVE Kids Cove❤️ We LOVE Dropping our Son off here when we have Errands to Run, or Business things to take care of! This place is Wonderfully Fun for Our Little Guy. And He always comes back to us all tuckered out from Playing. Whether it's an Hour to Get my nails done, go to a knowingly lengthy Bank appointment, or Even for A Uninterrupted House cleaning... I KNOW I can rely on Kids Cove to take Care of Him!! The staff are Fun, Positive, and Gentle! I have Never had ONE problem with anyone here, and they respect every wish you have for your Child. When we call to check in or tell them we are bringing our Son, someone ALWAYS answer the phone. They have NEVER left me or my Husband in the Dark regarding our Little One. Love the updates they Post to the Child Pilot app! They literally keep a record of EVERYTHING. From diaper changes, to Food and snack, and Pictures Galore. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE COMMUNICATION. Keep it up! Two particular staff Members we LOVE dealing with is Lea and Jessica. The Flexibility is Phenomenal! Frank is SO understanding with Our Family as well. PRICE IS GREAT! Something we can afford that's Not $300 a week like our Last Daycare in Sevierville... We are so Grateful to have them in Our Corner, and In Our Life. Love the Security too! Thank you! -Karenza and Kevin Kanevski

  • Kids cove is the best! My grandson loves this place. He is 5 yrs old and he loves to go there, esp if Mama is going shopping. Sometimes he chooses Kids Cove instead of G’s house. Now that’s saying a lot. I am glad my daughter has found a place she can trust the staff with the care of her precious one. Trust is the most important thing when you are allowing others to take care of your kids. I participated in there Trunk or Treat this year, and it went off without a hitch. They seem to do a lot with and for the community. It makes me want to help and contribute more. Thanks Kids Cove.. I will be there to buy some gift certificates soon.

Does this page show inspection results for Kids Cove Drop-In Childcare LLC?

No. Tennessee publishes a report card of licensing citations for each provider, and those are not included here, so nothing on this page reflects Kids Cove Drop-In Childcare LLC's inspection history either way.
