What Parents Say
Sewanee Children's Center receives overwhelmingly positive reviews praising its nurturing, child-centered approach, personalized curriculum, and caring staff. However, one recent review expresses concerns about a leadership change, citing disagreements with the new director's management style and approaches to handling behavioral issues.
It's difficult as a parent to find loving caregivers who you can trust to enrich your child's life while you are away. I'm so grateful that our family found SCC when we did! My older son has spent three years here, and I look forward to sending my younger son in the Fall. Sewanee Children's Center is a dreamy fairyland that is lovingly and intentionally designed to nurture the growth and development of young children. The way the teachers and director nurture these children mentally, physically, and emotionally is inspiring -- I am a better parent as a result of seeing my child through their eyes. They are passionate about child development and tailor their curriculum to the interests and specific needs of each child. Simply put, it's awesome.
Sewanee Children's Center is an absolute gem! Three of our kids had the pleasure of attending this school. They truly see and appreciate each child as the unique individual they are. The teachers and staff create an environment that nurtures kindness, empathy and respect among the students. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the warmth and care that permeates every classroom. The curriculum focuses on developing the whole child - their creativity, curiosity, and social-emotional skills. What sets this place apart is how much the teachers invest in really knowing each student's personalities, interests and learning styles. They tailor their approach to bring out the best in every child. My kids have blossomed under their guidance into confident, compassionate little people who love going to school every day. The center cultivates an authentic sense of community, where children learn to form beautiful friendships. I've witnessed so many touching moments of the kids looking out for one another and including everyone in their play and activities. I cannot say enough good things about Sewanee Children's Center. They are equipping our children with invaluable life lessons in kindness, while giving them an outstanding educational foundation. Any family would be lucky to be a part of this nurturing, one-of-a-kind environment. Highest possible recommendation!
Can I choose 10 stars? We have been sending our children to SCC for the last 6 years, and could not imagine a more supportive, fantastic, engaged community to be a part of. The director and teachers are simply the best you can find. Some highlights for us are the center's invitation to incorporate diverse family cultural traditions, sensory play, screen-free learning, and a curriculum inspired by the childrens' up-to-the-minute interests. We are so very fortunate to be a part of this nurturing and supportive community. As a family with two working parents, I truly don't know what we would do without SCC.
I simply cannot recommend SCC more highly. My child attended preschool here and is now in the after school program - and is LOVING it. The director is truly one of the most organized, honest, and generous caregivers I have ever met. The teachers are the best of the best -- creative and kind, silly and supportive (as need be). The facilities are welcoming, safe, and fun, and the constructivist philosophy is more than some banal statement on the website; it guides their day-to-day practice. Just drop by and you'll see what I mean! In my family's experience, SCC is quite clearly the best, most inclusive, positively-oriented, and connected children's center. We consider ourselves profoundly lucky to be a part of the SCC community and think it's one of the best resources in our little community!
Sewanee Children's Center is a wonderful place to send your children. I sent both my kids there and have greatly appreciated everything they do. They have caring teachers who, with their small classroom size, have the ability to work with your child based on their needs. My daughter is very eager to learn and explore and they were able to challenge her and keep her love growing. My son is not an eager learner and initially had a speech delay and the teachers have worked so well with him to pull him into activities in ways he can enjoy. I will always cherish our time with SCC!!
