Quality childcare in Nashville is unaffordable and unavailable. The cost of childcare in Tennessee surpasses the average cost of in-state college tuition with numerous neighborhoods suffering from a complete lack of available childcare slots.
Nestled in the heart of the Cayce Place community, an area classified as a childcare desert, our mission is clear: to offer affordable, high-quality early learning care for children ages 12 months to 5 years. Our recently renovated Early Learning Center, designed in collaboration with clients, staff, parents, and volunteers, aims to address the specific early learning needs of our community.
Through our mixed-income model, we ensure equitable access to high-quality early learning care, reserving 50% of slots for low-income families. We aim to cultivate a nurturing environment that provides holistic support to both children and their families, fostering an environment where every family can thrive.
Our dedicated early learning team is committed to delivering high-quality instruction paired with a literacy focused curriculum. We prioritize trauma-informed practices, child development, and school readiness to provide a joyful foundation for every child. With expert teachers guiding them, children are encouraged to explore, grow, and become confident learners, fully prepared for kindergarten.
