  • Experienced teachers with a compassion & dedication for the children!!

    Angie McNearFeb 19, 2026
  • I am just baffled at how this place is not bursting at the seems with children. Amazing facility. Genuine and caring teachers who work with you and your child. They are so thorough, and constantly providing continuing education to their staff to make sure the children are getting quality instruction that is evidence based. I sent both of my boys here and have had such a good experience. They also provide so much support to the family as a whole! My 4 year old is now early entry into kindergarten and can read simple words/books. Quality childcare is so hard to find in Memphis (I’m picky about where I send my kids). My youngest loves his teachers so much he is still talking about them this summer (Ms. Parker and Ms. Halowell-I know I’m spelling that wrong!). Send your kiddos here, you will not regret it!

  • I absolutely love this location. We have been here for about five months and she has been coming here. She has learned so much not only that they’re always doing something they’re very hands-on and they’re always have any events for the kids.
