We did public Pre-K and he was accepted to a local private school (not a good fit), but Hendersonville Montessori Academy has been better than just a good fit. The Montessori approach is present in everything and I cannot express how good they are with these students. The families are building community and meeting for playdates - no one is left out. We like the curriculum, love the teachers, and the work our son produces shows us his improvement. If you are interested in Montessori for your child - do a little research about it and then call HMA, they really are top notch.

However, when we got there 15 minutes prior to our scheduled time the director was nowhere to be found and we were just sitting there. I finally asked the lady at the front desk when we could meet with the director and she told me she was not there, but still at her son's doctor appt. I totally understood that, however, she asked me to reschedule for later so of course, I said yes. I received confirmation to my phone and then another notification saying the staff was out due to a stomach bug or something like that. I understand. However, after that I expected to get a call from the director or the school to reschedule once again but that never happened. My intention in writing this is just for another mama to take my experience into consideration when looking for the perfect fit for their kiddos. It just seemed/s off. However, I went with my gut and found the school I was looking for AMEN!

This was by FAR the worst experience we've with a daycare. For reference, KA was our 3rd daycare so…read morefar (we recently moved to the area). Where to begin: 1. Prior to enrolling, our 2yr old was going through her 'biting' stages of toddlerhood. She had two incidents at her prior school with a long stint of no incidents after that before enrolling in KA. Once enrolled at KA, our 2yr old went on biting streak. Upon further investigation as to why this kept happening, I found out that A) the classroom was incredibly overcrowded - there was no way any amount of teachers could keep an eye on that amount of kids and B) everyday there was a new teacher in the classroom. The teacher churn was UNREAL. That tells me they don't pay their teachers jack squat and kids run the place so of course the teachers don't care. After awhile, they would start sending my 2yr old home after an incident. How the F am I supposed to pay for daycare if I also have to watch my child? I brought this up to management but they didn't care. Eventually our 2yr old was kicked out of KA. At her new school, she's had one incident of biting in 6 months. Her class has the same 2 teachers M-F and a much smaller class size. 2. KA will take any and every excuse to either close down or send your child home for the day, not just major holidays or incidents, not to mention the 2 weeks off around Christmas/New Years that you are EXPECTED to continue to pay for. Training day for teachers 2-3 times per year? Schools closed, kids stay home and you pay for it. Woke holiday? Schools closed, you pay for it. Mild storm expected? Schools closed, you pay for it. 3. This school is incredibly cheap and although the facilities are nice, good luck trying to get a refund or vacation time without escalating it past management to the owners. All in all, I would avoid unless its your only option.

Literally, I scheduled soooooo many pre k school tours. We are new in town and was recommended this…read moreschool from a mom's fb group. This was the last school we toured and it was a definitely a "save the best for last" situation. Of course, I had no idea, but I asked the universe to lead me to the perfect school and OF COURSE, that's literally what I got. I just have to say FIRST, I'm soooooooo excited for my kids to attend here and SECOND when I entered this place I just felt overcome with tranquility from the music they had on, which was like meditation music and my kids (3) and (2) went straight to Priya, the director, which made me feel even more at peace. And then when my son asked her where his cubby was she said, "when you come back we will have one ready for with your name." I thought that was very sweet. Then when my kiddos kept playing with the paint bottles after I told them not to, she again very gracefully stepped in and redirected them. She didn't say no, or anything like that. Just, "it's not paint time," but "do you guys wanna come over here to check out the kitchen?" Once again, I was like YES!!!! We can't wait to start in the Fall.. I just loved it from the 45 min or so my tour lasted, and so did my kiddos. I have so much respect for what Priya is doing, thank you for making this mama feel like "this is our place."

The teachers are genuinely so caring, creative, and dedicated to the children. Our daughter has thrived in ways that we could not have predicted, both socially and academically. The activities they provide are so much fun for the kids, our daughter got to hatch baby chicks, grow butterflies and have so many hands-on, nature-based learning experiences. It's such a joyful environment for the children and we couldn't be more grateful.

They made the enrollment process easy and immediately put us at ease. The teachers and staff are truly some of the best people you'll ever meet. It's obvious they genuinely love what they do, and they care for the children as if they were their own. One thing that really stands out is the food--they serve healthy, well-balanced, thoughtfully planned meals each week, which gives us such peace of mind. As a parent, one of my favorite things is the communication throughout the day. Receiving pictures, updates, and little glimpses into my child's day means more than I can put into words. Those updates are such a thoughtful touch and something I truly appreciate. Like many first-time parents, I had plenty of nerves about sending my child to daycare. But Little Sunshine's quickly erased those fears. We've always felt confident that our child is safe, loved, learning, and thriving every single day! Shout out to Miss Josie and Miss Kaitlyn who go above and beyond. I truly can't say enough good things about this daycare. If you're looking for a place where your child will be genuinely cared for, this is it. 10/10--I recommend Little Sunshine's Playhouse to every parent I know!

While touring other daycares, LSP just stood out from the crowd as (much) cleaner, more intentional, bright, calming, and fun. It was also very competitively priced compared to other schools, which was a huge selling point for us. Quality childcare in the Nashville area is EXPENSIVE, but we actually feel like we're getting a great value with LSP. We really aligned with the Reggio-Emilia-inspired curriculum, as well. We couldn't find a Montessori school proximal to us with openings, and we feel LSP uniquely blends Montessori and Reggio-Emilia at the infant level. The lead teacher in the infant room, Ms. Shelby, is an exceptional caregiver. She is organized, communicative, kind, and really makes the effort to help parents feel at ease while away from their babies by sending lots of pictures and updates. I know our kiddo is in the best hands with her! Ms. Angelia is also an attentive and sweet presence in our little's days. The front office staff--Morgan, Maria, Katy, Willow, and Heather, are wonderful and greet my little one by name every day and seem to truly take an interest in all the students in their care. The school is relatively small so it feels nice to get to know the staff and other families. We feel fortunate to have found LSP to care for our child!

They used to offer a full breakfast, but they have changed that to an AM snack instead. It's very frustrating to be charged more for tuition and get less services.
