I realized that a mentorship was the most effective method for me. I signed up with BBBS and went through their interview and training process. It was thorough, but I respected them for it. I've now been matched with a "Little" for over 4 years. He's about to graduate from high school and go to college. I couldn't be more happy with BBBS, the staff, and the programs they put in place. Every interaction has been positive. They sincerely have a heart for this cause. They give you the support to succeed and encouragement to feel competent in your Match. They produce a constant supply of resources, events, and information to make this a rewarding experience for both you and your Little. They always need volunteers for a variety of opportunities and I would passionately encourage you to give them a call.

Did you know that for every match that Big Brothers / Big Sisters of Middle TN makes it costs them…read moremore money ongoing? They're one of the few non-profits where the more people that get involved the more it costs to run. Those dollars go to make sure the kids are not trapped in some nightmare situation, do background checks on potential matches, personal interviews, crisis intervention, matching, events, match specialists, etc... BBBS spends quite a bit of money for each successful matchup they have. I've been in the program now entering my third year. In this time I've had (and still have) one little brother, and I'm now on my third of fourth match support specialist (one moved away, one because my little changed schools) and each one of them seems to take this as more than just a job. If you've got a few bucks to spare and are looking for some place to invest in the future, I can't promise that every dollar is going to the right place, but a decent enough percentage appears to be. If you've got some time to commit and are looking to make a change in someone's life, you might be interested in getting in their programs. Be aware it's a commitment, you're not guaranteed to be matched and sadly there are an abundance of Big Sisters who will not be matched as there are not a whole lot of little sisters and too many little brothers think big sisters are icky. Sadly it's how the game goes. (Big Sisters can be matched with boys or girls, Big Brothers as far as I know are matched with boys only) They have a couple of distinct options for mentoring, a community and a site-based option. Site-based is you come to a school and visit, Community is after school / out in the world. I spent 2 years doing in-school and now do both while my little is out of school. It's been a good experience for me as a BB. There are things I'd like to change about it for my particular situation, but in general I think they're doing just about as good as they can for everyone. So yeah, that's my review - decent place to volunteer time or donate some money.

We toured this facility when considering care for our infant. The facility and teachers seemed okay…read morebut it was troubling to see how much tablets were used. We witnessed 2 year olds that were glued to their tablets the whole time we were there (30 minutes at least). One had the tablet 6 inches from his face. It did not appear this was used for learning since only some kids were doing it. We decided to not go here since we don't agree a tablet should be babysitting our child. Also, if this is commonly allowed then it will get our child interested in being on a tablet like other classmates. A good daycare should be engaging children and not need TVs or tablets. The American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines say screen media should be limited to 1 hour max a day for that age and only high quality programming which would be beneficial for learning.
