Our experience with this school has been deeply concerning from a safety and management…read moreperspective. The school consistently appears to be understaffed, and families frequently receive messages asking parents to keep their children home due to staffing shortages. In addition, there have been multiple state violations, poor communication, and several incidents that we feel were either undocumented or not appropriately addressed. As parents, the safety and well-being of our children are our highest priorities, and unfortunately, we no longer feel confident that this school can provide a safe and reliable environment. Due to these ongoing concerns, we are actively seeking a different school for our children. Based on our personal experience, I would not recommend this school to other families.

Our family has sent 3 kids to this school over the last 5 years. My favorite part about this school…read moreis the community of friends, parents, and kids it's created for our family. Currently we have an infant with Ms Tresa and Ms Brittany and a Pre-K'er with Ms. Sarah. Ms Tresa and Ms Brittany are so warm and make it 10000x times easier to drop her off each morning... they also do a great job keeping to the schedule I've requested for our baby. Our Pre-K'er blows me away with how much he's learned in Ms. Sarah's class. The way she integrates academics, emotional intelligence, and social and community responsibility has done so much to shape my kiddo. Highly recommend considering this school for anyone in the market!

Activities are going on every day In my fifteen years have never heard anyone speak ill of the church or of any member.

My thinking is if you send your kid to day care, and trust someone with being a part of the…read moreupbringing of your child, then it had damn well better be a five-star experience. My wife used to work for TN DHS, which is the state agency which among many other things, audits child care programs and rates them. So, needless to say, she knew what to look for and had heard horror stories about the industry going into the search. Child care programs are assigned zero to three stars based on many criteria including education, compensation, educator/child ratio, etc. I am sure most parents don't look into these before packing off their little ones, because there is a rather large facility near my house that is PACKED and is a zero star place - all of this info is public information. So when we started looking for a place to take care of our impending child, my wife who is ultra picky anyway, ascended to a higher plane of selectivity. We looked around a LOT, and there were a ton of differences even between the high-ranked places. We found one place we really liked, but it was one of the most expensive in town by a HUGE margin. Then we found Cheekwood. One of the big differences with Cheekwood was the way they seemed to have people that genuinely loved children as we toured. And by that, I mean it was like the love for one's own child, not just 'people who like kids'. So that really resonated with us from the get-go. Their excellent track record with the state all the way across the board didn't hurt either. Now, 22 months into it, I can say I have been very, very pleased with the level of care this facility has given my son. We started him off when he was around four months, and the staff at Cheekwood has been amazing every day since day 1. We get great feedback on our son's progress and he always comes home with something new he has learned that surprises us. They have also been fantastic accommodating our special religious and dietary needs for our little guy, too. So yeah, Cheekwood Child Development Center is the bomb. It may be tough to get into, but there's a great reason for it.

This is our 3rd year our child has been attending Brentwood Montessori Academy. My husband was not…read moreconvinced going into our first year...He said one, maybe two years, but that definitely changed!. The first year, she started to write in cursive...The second year she moved into a new classroom and had several work stations, jobs, and an extra bonus of getting to go to violin class (with only paying a violin rental of $20 a month), and several extra curricular activities that we could add on after school (1 hour extra). Her teachers noticed after a few weeks she was behind on reading a little, and let us know promptly so we could get right on to ramping up her reading...She made a huge turn around! We love this environment of learning. We love that kids are able to be kids, but also learn lots of responsibility and independence. They get to go home and be a kid without loads of homework, although, you can request some learning sheets to be sent home. Now, in our choice to choose Montessori once again, for a 3rd year in 2020, we had a couple important requirements with our choice to go back. We already had an excellent experience so far, but the pandemic and how it was going to be handled at Montessori was key to us continuing. After reading their new policy, we saw that great efforts were made in making the children's environment as normal as possible. This was absolutely critical in us sending our daughter back. They had also placed common sense approaches for keeping kids and staff safe. Because the kids have separate work spaces where they do their individual work, they are already socially distanced. They do temperature checks where my child can be checked with her wrist. They also have hand sanitizing stations (my child is able to bring her organic sanitizer-90% ) and they take the time to keep things extra clean. They have a great system of separating rooms, in case of Covid exposure which really limits the amount of shut downs. This has been brilliant! We have seen the damaging effects of other overly strict policies in so many other surrounding schools (including a lot of depression, discouragement, and lack of learning) so we couldn't be more happy in the way they have handled this so far. Because she is able to go back to school, and not have us home school her, the teachers were able to recognize that she had a bit of a learning disability and we were able to immediately jump on that and get a tutor. One of her teachers actually took the time to educate herself better on her type of disability in order to understand and be able to serve her and some other kids with this issue even better. We would have never even known she had some issues. Now we can save her the heartache of losing her self confidence and falling behind. We highly support Jim Bernstorf and his highly compassionate & knowledgeable staff. We thank them so much for the way they teach the children. Thanks to them, our child can go to school in freedom. As Maria Montessori said, "Let the children be free; encourage them; let them run outside when it is raining; let them remove their shoes when they find a puddle of water; and, when the grass of the meadows is damp with dew, let them run on it and trample it with their bare feet; let them rest peacefully when a tree invites them to sleep beneath its shade; let them shout and laugh when the sun wakes them in the morning as it wakes every living creature that divides its day between walking and sleeping."
