My husband and I have been using the Academy of Cool Springs for almost a year now. The staff there have been very helpful and have acted more like family to us than just care givers. The first couple of days with our 8 week old little girl being at a daycare were tough for my husband and I, but the girls there were extremely patient and kind with us calling to check in every now and then (which we still do from time to time). Our daughter loves going to daycare everyday, and can't wait to see her teachers and friend! She has a smile on her face even before we walk in the door. This program and teachers are the best I have ever seen and would recommend them as a daycare for any parent.

AoCS made the choice simple when it came to deciding which childcare facility to send my daughter. It was evident from the moment we entered and met the director that AoCS was the right choice. Ms. Sara and all of the wonderful teachers at AoCS are kind, loving, helpful, and most important, provide excellent care. They make my family feel comfortable, welcomed, and appreciated. They have always met and continue to exceed my expectations. We are so happy with our decision and highly recommend AoCS to any parent in need of childcare!

I have two children that have been attending the Academy of Cool Springs for over a year now and I have nothing but positive to speak of this child care facility. They keep communication open through email, text and phone calls as appropriate. The staff that works at the Academy are wonderful to my children and I know they are well cared for when they are in there care.
The educational curriculum has been appropriate for their age level. I feel confident when it is time for them to start Kindergarten they will be well prepared and confident in the education they were provided as well as the social aspect they have experienced.
Nothing is more important to me than my children and I feel they have been entrusted in the best care.

My son loves going to school! He actually complains on the weekends if I tell him that he is not going to school. His teachers are great about keeping us informed and have worked hard to help us with potty training and weaning him off the paci. They have also been very understanding and responsive to any extenuating circumstances surrounding his care, and for that we are very grateful! It makes it so much easier on me as a working mom to know that my child looks forward to going to school and is well taken care of.

Ms. Sara and her team have had nothing but a positive influence on our son's development. In the 9+ months since starting at the Academy our son has had three pairs of teachers, all of whom have pulled out different aspects of his personality. They've all been easy and eager to communicate with us on a daily basis, keeping us informed on upcoming events and his daily activities/milestones. The packed schedule of activities combines independent learning with vital interactions with his peers. As a result his social skills have grown immensely, his willingness to follow instructions has increased, and his independence is remarkable. Granted, all of these inevitably develop with age, but we have NO doubt that the Academy has played a critical role here. For that, we congratulate and thank Ms. Sara and her team.

The Academy of Cool Springs has been one of the best decisions I have made for my children. We only attend 2 days a week and you would never know it by how the staff treats us. Sara and her team make for a phenomenal school and experience in amazing childcare.

My twins go to the Academy of Cool Springs and we all love it! I can not say enough good things about the facility and staff. Everyone there is so helpful and always has a smiling face. The teachers are very caring and patient. My twins have grown and learned so much since they started going here.

My son has been attending here the last 3 years and he loves it!!! We love it as well! He started out at the age of 2 and was quiet and kept to himself. Through the love and encouragement of the his teachers and staff, he is now Mr. Social Butterfly. He has to make his way through the school each morning and evening telling everyone hi. He is also the first to volunteer when guests visit. Not only has he grown his social skills; as we test for kindergarten, he has tested at the first grade level.
This school is full of tremendous love and encouragement. They really know how to bring out the best in every child. Though it was hard in the beginning to drop him off, I know this is truly his second family. I couldn't ask for a better place to care for my son!

The Academy of Cool Springs is hands down the best preschool around! I have two little ones who attend (4 years and 5months) and we absolutely love it here. I've also been privileged to work here for the past few years as a Pre-K teacher. From the directors to the teachers, every single staff member here is amazing. My 4 year old runs in each morning searching for Ms. Sara and Ms. Michele to give them a hug. She has learned so much in the past 2 and a half years that she has been going, thanks to her wonderful teachers and the awesome curriculum. My 5 month old has two of the best teachers. When I drop her off she has the biggest smile on her face when she hears their voices. After working in other childcare facilities, I'm happy to have found a place where I know my children are loved and have quality care. I am so thankful to have found the Academy of Cool Springs. It feels just like home to us!

My daughter loves her teachers. She wants to go to school every day which is the biggest testament to their success. The building is a little older and well-loved, but is always cheerful, clean, and child-centered. The director and teachers have activities that are varied and include special programs for the children. We love AOCS!

The Academy of Cool Springs is like a second home for myself and for my 7 month old daughter. She has been here since she was 2 months old and I feel lucky to be a parent of an Academy child and also as a teacher of the Academy of Cool Springs. Sara(Director) and Michele(Assistant Director) are amazing individuals to work for and treat my daughter like one of their own. The Academy of Cool Springs provides a comforting environment for both parents and children, and when I drop off my daughter in her classroom I know that she is loved and cared for the same way that I would love and care for her myself. I feel privileged to be a part of The Academy Family!

As a brand new, first-time mother, to say I was a little nervous about finding the right day care for my son would be a tremendous understatement. We researched and visited numerous facilities, but the first moment we stepped inside The Academy of Cool Springs it felt like home. The teachers (full time & support staff) are patient, loving, and very helpful (especially for a new mommy who worries about EVERYTHING). Sara and Michele (Director & Assistant Director) are so knowledgeable and seem to REALLY care about what they do. The environment there is so warm and friendly. You’re not just another family…you’re THEIR family. I wouldn’t trust any other place with the care of my precious baby. It makes being a working mom a little easier to bear. I look forward to many years with AoCS!

My son has attended the academy for the past 3 years. There is nothing like dropping your child off at school knowing that he will be in the hands of the most talented, loving teachers and staff. Great curriculum, with lots of learning and fun!

We've been enrolled at AoCS for a year now, and I cannot imagine a better place for my child. No one wants to leave their children during the day, but knowing that they are being loved, having fun, and learning- really following a curriculum- gives you the peace of mind that is a necessity when choosing child care/a preschool. I recommend them to everyone I meet with children who live or work in the area- it's not just a school, but a wonderful community! We love AoCS!
