Starting Points Child Care

"I can’t say enough great things about Starting Points. My son and daughter both went to preschool here and had an amazing time. The teachers and staff are so friendly and planned great activities and lessons for them every day — both kids grew so much in their time there. We also loved the woodland feel of the playground — no getting scorched by the sun during outside playtime. It may not be as fancy and shiny as some of the corporate daycares in town, but Starting Points is an absolute gem. Highly, highly, highly recommend."

"Staff is great and the play based curriculum is amazing. The exposure to nature they provide is awesome, it helps keep my children engaged. Children are actively engaged in learning. This is the only care center we have used. Our oldest child started kindergarten this past August and was more than ready."

"We've had a really wonderful experience with our oldest child and look forward to sending our youngest to Starting Points. The education is child led and instructor directed; the curriculum covers plenty of pre-school academics and educational themes, but also covers a lot of social and emotional development. The classrooms and outdoor areas are full of interesting activities and are well designed to fully engage young minds and foster learning, creativity, and community. We especially love the focus on nature and outdoor education. Unlike many child care facilities, the staff at SP are the same day in and day out and the teachers all know and care about each individual child. Overall, it's a very welcoming and supportive environment where our child has thrived."

"I am an educator and Mom and all 3 of my children have attended Starting Points. Currently my 2 year old attends and I can’t rate this establishment high enough! As a kindergarten teacher I know the importance of giving your child a great foundation and Starting Points is my number 1 choice! The teachers have degrees in early childhood and continue their education and training throughout each year. They offer a hands on learning based atomsphere that promotes the whole child. Their teacher/child ratio is low and infants to school aged children are given the best care! Every room has posted lesson plans and parents are sent a daily email update with pictures of their child’s day. I have and continue to recommend Starting Points to all my friends and acquaintances. There is no other place I would send my children. They provide a safe and nurturing atomphere where students learn, grow and thrive."

"I could go on and on and on why we would recommend this daycare to anyone but I'll do my best to keep it short. Both of my kids have gone there since birth. One is now in their afterschool program and 8 years later we wouldn't change a thing. The teachers have been there for years and the love and dedication they have for the kids, and teaching them is unbelievable. But what I love the most about it (Outside of the teachers) is how much time these babies spend outside, they learn by playing and doing and the outdoor playgrounds are unlike anything else I visited at a Knoxville daycare. If you are looking for a small but children focused daycare THIS IS YOUR PLACE!"
