This is the best place for early childhood education around, and now they have moved to a new…read moreamazing location on five wooded acres. This school has been in Franklin for over 20 years, has certified Montessori educators in every classroom, and full of loving, nurturing, and professional educators who go above and beyond for each child. Both of my children have benefited greatly from MSF, and I would highly recommend it to any family looking for a top notch education for their little ones.

Our family has been at this school for three years. While our two girls (2 1/2 and 6) are very…read moredifferent, we have seen them each grow and flourish at Montessori of Franklin in their own ways. I am confident that this is because of the combination of caring and attentive teachers and a quality Montessori approach to education. As a result of what they've learned at Montessori, both of our children are very self-sufficient (pouring their own milk and juices, putting on their own coats, helping to cut and peel fruits and vegetables, and so much more). Since she began attending the toddler program, our youngest (who had separation difficulties at other schools) has become much more independent and self-confident. She is even excited to go to school and talks about her friends and teachers when at home! In her three years at Montessori, we have seen our oldest daughter grow in ways I cannot even describe--she is growing into a strong, compassionate young girl, with a solid foundation in academics and most importantly a love and passion for learning. This evening, as we were reading bedtime stories, she told me that her friend asked her how she was getting so smart and that she answered, "Because I like to read a lot!" (she has been reading independently since she was 4 years old thanks to her fantastic teacher and Montessori methods!)

I simply couldn't be more thrilled with the director's (Angela's) leadership and her extraordinary…read morecare for each child. My granddaughter's teacher, Ms. Toni, has high expectations with so much love and structure in her classroom. In addition to the normal academics, Ms. Toni emphasizes the importance of respect, boundaries, and other foundational/life building skills. Over the years I've had experience in other schools, but none compare to this one. My granddaughter loves her school and will be well prepared for kindergarten.

We've had two attend there from 6mo thru Pre-K graduation and wouldn't have changed that decision for anything. If you are looking for the best care for your kids, this is the best place you are going to find!

We are so grateful we found Little Sunshine Playhouse. My child is absolutely thriving largely due…read moreto how teachers expose the children to a phenomenal range of experiences--from arts and music to rich vocabulary development. And their integration of physical activity into the daily classroom routine is simply the best we've seen. We've experienced three other daycares, and Little Sunshine Playhouse is by far the best! The teachers, especially Miss Joelle and Miss Paula, have been fundamental in my child's growth. The director, administration, and entire leadership team are all thoughtful, engaged, and really dedicated to helping kids thrive. We couldn't be happier!

I actually wrote something out and deleted it because it was too emotional, too personal, and had too many paragraphs. To put it simply, we can not advise strongly enough to take your kids elsewhere. They are petty. Any concerns you have will fall on deaf ears. They are incompetent.

Does not offer a wide variety of supplies for teachers. They only follow the NAEYC and DHS Stars criterion when being assessed. Kids are often shuffled from class to class because they max out ratios, leaving no wiggle room if a teacher is out. It is not comparable to the schools around franklin that charge the same price. Save your money, go somewhere else.

I truly feel so blessed to have them helping take care of our child. They help me with questions or concerns and it's very obvious that they love the children they have in their rooms.

We love their structure and attention to detail - much more than a "day care", most definitely a school. It's smaller than some other schools in the area, and I love that; I feel like my child doesn't get lost in hundreds of other kids. Tonya and our teachers are amazing and truly care for the children. Can't say enough great things about Goddard.

The building is beautiful and well laid out with individual classrooms, easy access, great security and outdoor safe play area for the kids. The staff are so warm and caring from the owner Mark, the director Dawn to her teachers Lauren and Erin- they show it every day how much they care for these kids - and I don't want to leave out the other teachers who assist and greet you every time you enter the building, even if they are not your child's teacher. As parents, one of our favorite things is to receive the daily electronic activity report of everything they did during the day as well as pictures - which we can download and keep. We are so happy that we made the choice to enroll her in this school, they have exceeded our expectations.
