The Children's Center of Knoxville, Inc.

I absolutely love this daycare! Finding a place for my baby was a challenge. The waitlists were insane and how was I supposed to trust strangers with my 7 week old baby? After doing a tour of the facility and meeting with the infant classroom I was instantly put at ease. Fast forward a year later and I still love them and so does my baby. She gets so excited to see her teachers and starts bouncing in her seat as soon as we pull into the parking lot. Everyone I've interacted with is kind and caring of the kids. My baby has turned in to such a social butterfly and loves to greet her friends and say bye to the teachers. The hours have been so convenient and the location is great for where I work. I will forever be grateful for this place and what they have provided for us. Even though my daughter is still young and can't yet talk, her happiness whenever I drop her off and pick her up tells me everything I need to know.

This daycare has the absolute best people that work there. The center is always clean and organized. I feel my kids get the best possible care here they have also learned a lot from attending. I would highly recommend to everyone!

We've watched this place go through challenges and changes over the 3 years we've had our child here. We joined because we heard many good recommendations and the facility was lovely and well-equipped. However we quickly noticed quite a bit of turnover amongst the administrative and childcare staff, along with some mostly minor incidents and issues. We did in fact start to wonder if it was the right place for us. However the board (it's a nonprofit) ultimately got it together and hired a new director who has been AMAZING in turning the place around, making great hires, and retaining the excellent and experienced teachers who have been the foundation of the place all along. Since then the Center really has lived up to all of our hopes. We do know that early childcare is indeed a difficult industry to operate in, and surely any such institution can go through periods of instability. Watching this process play out showed us that the Children's Center has what it takes to get over the bumps and maintain a commitment to high quality over the long haul.

Both of our grandchildren went there and received marvelous care in every dimension: emotional growth, social skills, reading readiness and self-discipline. There is a diverse student and care-giver community and no one way that families have to be.

Our daughter is so happy here and they do an amazing job! She has learned so much and the communication we get daily is amazing. So thankful to have such wonderful, safe childcare!
