120 Swanson Branch Way, Franklin“We’ve had our youngest at Big Blue Marble since they acquired the previous facility. The difference for my child has been night and day. The structure of the curriculum blended with the free play experiences is really helping develop the whole child. I love the focus on diversity and hearing my child come home with stories about different countries and traditions around the world. To top it all off the staff are incredibly loving. They care for my child as I do. My little one runs in every day to give hugs to every staff member she encounters. It’s so great!”

131 Market Exchange Ct, Franklin“My 3 year old daughter has been at Gardner since she was five months old and we’ve loved every day she’s been there. She’s safe, blows our minds with the things she learns, and adores her teachers & the office staff. TGS is a special place.”
“Cadence of Franklin offers children supportive, nurturing relationships with trusted teachers, and positive, diverse learning experiences! My two littles have had great experiences and absolutely love it here!”
“Love this school. All three of our children have or are attending Goddard. It is a great environment of learning and fun. So many activities and events that our kids love. Many of the teachers go above and beyond to connect with our children. Great preparation for kindergarden.”

377 S Royal Oaks Blvd, Franklin“My family LOVES The Academy of Forrest Crossing! Our little guy is in one of the infant classes and his teachers, Ms. Taylor and Ms. Stephanie, are absolutely phenomenal; they are so calm and my little guy just loves them. After interviewing several nannies, we decided to move forward with The Academy of Forrest Crossing, as our family needs consistency with care and it is the BEST decision we could have made. There is always a calmness and peace in the school and when you walk in, it always smells of freshly baked cookies and has such an inviting feel. The directors (Ms. Erica and Ms. Alex), Program Coordinator (Ms. Katherine) & staff are always so happy, friendly and calm; they truly have the children’s best interest in-mind! We just love this school!”
“My daughter attended The Academy of Cool Springs for almost two years. Initially, the transition was challenging for both of us, as she had been cared for by her grandmothers the first year and a half. From day one, the Directors and teachers were incredibly welcoming. After a few months, I decided to enroll her full-time, following her teachers' suggestion. The improvement in her social skills was remarkable. She frequently talked about her friends and teachers, and it was clear she felt at home there.
Each teacher took the time to understand her needs, and the directors, Christine and Jozi, were exceptional in their communication. They offered open ears and open arms whenever I needed advice or support.
Due to a job relocation to another area of Middle TN, I had to withdraw her from this location, which was such a tough decision. However, I chose to keep her within The Academy family because of our wonderful experience.
If you’re looking for a school that genuinely cares about your child’s safety and education, I highly recommend The Academy of Cool Springs. We look forward to visiting our friends there soon!”
“Ok first of all this place is amazing! The Franklin center is just the most charming little place! We have had family enrolled here for a bit now and I wouldn’t change a thing! The teachers are great! They treat your child as their own! I couldn’t imagine being with any other center! Thanks kiddie academy of Franklin tn.”
“It is bittersweet to be writing this review on the eve of my son’s last day at The Academy, he is now a officially a kindergartener. We have had such a wonderful experience over the last few years. The staff has become family & we will miss seeing them every day in our new adventure.My son has LOVED all of his teachers & had such a positive experience. He has learned so much, we are incredibly confident that he has been well prepared for all that elementary school brings. He loves all the activities (especially the water & bike days).If you’re looking for high quality childcare in the Franklin area, I can not recommend The Academy of Westhaven enough.”

205 Bedford Way, Franklin“Me and my wife enrolled our twin boys in this day care shortly after moving to Nashville from Knoxville. They started off in the infant room and have been moving their way up ever since. Ms. Kirtrell is such a wonderful woman and is always up front ready to greet me or my wife and our 2 kids. A few mornings my kids have been upset and she won’t even hesitate and offer to help. At any point during the day if we feel it’s necessary to call and check on our kids after a doctors appointment or just curious about medication, she is always extremely sweet and helpful. This woman is pregnant and nearly full term and is STILL the first woman I see in the mornings and the last one we see when we pick up our kids. Just a quick story to tell how passionate Ms. Kirtrell is, she went out of her way to go to the store and buy our 2 boys each their own little play phones because they love the ones at school so much. Me and my wife have been truly blessed to have our kids grow up in this wonderful day care. From our kids sitting up on their own to taking their full steps, they love going to school every day because of the overwhelming love and passion for learning and care that radiates from this building. We are so blessed to say the regular staff that deals with our kids feels like family. I am happy to say my kids attend this daycare and I am so grateful to have the wonderful staff at KinderCare watch our children and feel like family. Shout out to miss Kc as well, my kids LOVE her!”

1101 Moher Blvd, Franklin“After having tried another "G" school in the area and not getting accurate information, we tried Goddard School and have had a 100% positive experience. Each of my children is known by almost every staff member, and every staff member is always helpful. It's a nurturing, positive, and supportive environment.”
“My wife and I have had a great experience with Primrose Cool Springs. I can’t speak for any other Primrose location but we highly recommend Primrose Cool Springs. The owner and staff are wonderful!”
“As we joined TLE, my mama heart really struggled with separating from our baby. Miss Corrine at the time was incredible in supporting the transition, asked me all the questions and made me feel so comfortable that she truly wanted to get to know my baby. Once Ashley joined, she quickly learned and even taught our baby new tricks - we went from bottle refuser to loving her bottle! Miss Tiffany, Aanchal, Dalina, Hannah... everyone has been so, so incredibly supportive and empathetic and we have appreciated that so much. We know Alanna’s team is incredible and they love our baby! Highly recommend them!”
