My 3 year old son attended Holly Tree, and in his time there he had an amazing teacher who was incredibly sweet and patient with him. She always sent beautiful pictures and videos of him playing and learning throughout the day as well! Holly Tree is a beautiful school and I would definitely recommend it.

As a parent whose child attends Holly Tree, we love this facility. Staff and Admins are very friendly and strives to make everyone feel welcome and greets them by name. My son loves his teacher, who has been patient and helpful with potty training. Hes excited to come to school and is happy when I pick him up. Good preschool to attend!

The accolades for this place are endless. My brother who is now 24 attended here as a child. So when the opportunity arrived for my own daughter I wanted her to experience what my brother did, love. I cannot say enough good things about Holly Tree, they are family. The level of care, transparency, and attention to detail cannot be compared.

Holly Tree has been such a blessing to our family, I cannot even express that enough. Our son started daycare at 10 months at another childcare center and had a horrible experience-He was having a rough time transitioning from staying at home to being in daycare and we were basically told it wasnt going to work. Long story short, we heard about Holly Tree and were thrilled there just so happened to be an opening. Our son had an immediate positive response to Holly Tree--complete opposite of the previous place. He adjusted quickly and started napping phenomenally (one of the biggest issues at the previous place). He (and we!) loves all of the teachers.. Ms. Caroline and Ms. Mallory have been so reassuring to us and completely understanding to our worries due to the issues we had previously. Our son is learning so much at school (Ms. Bea is amazing!) and he is comfortable there! I cant tell you how much stress and anxiety that have been removed from our lives just knowing he is there and in such good hands. With all that being said, I HIGHLY recommend Holly Tree. I love that they serve healthy food (that our son loves!), they have ample outside/play time, and they learn so many things--especially Christian values. The app they use to keep parents updated is awesome--We can check how he eats, his nap times, diaper changes, and see pictures and videos all throughout the day. We are so thankful to be a part of the Holly Tree family!

We have been at Holly Tree for a year now and love it! The staff turn over is almost none existent, all the teachers know my sons name and interacts with him, any questions I have are addressed promptly by management. We appreciate all the effort, consistency, and love they give!

Holly Tree has been a blessing to my family and I am so thankful that we found this school. I did a lot of research before my son was born and there are a lot of great schools in the area. However, having a Christian based curriculum was very important to me without wanting to sacrifice his education in a full time setting. My son started at 4 months and is now almost 2. He is thriving and loves going to school every day. As a mom, it helps me immensely to know that not only is my son learning a great deal, hes having fun and making friends. The previous director, Erica was fantastic and the new director, Tia has been a wonderful addition (the co-director, Jennifer is great, as well!). My son is currently in Ms. Aprils class and she is wonderful. Being a teacher is truly a calling and Ms. April has the gift! She is patient, knowledgeable and caring. My son wakes up every day talking about her! Holly Tree works hard at providing a well rounded curriculum including music, sciences, nature, art, reading, etc. They provide breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack every day and have been wonderful at accommodating my sons restricted diet. Of course, no place is ever perfect but they work hard at being transparent in communication and constantly improving and adding new programs/events. Choosing the right school for your child is a HUGE decision and I highly recommend Holly Tree!

Our son started going to Holly Tree when he was an infant and we have always received the absolute best care from day one! I dont feel like it is fair to call Holly Tree a day care - as it is so much more than that! Holly Tree is a community where our family belongs, a school where our son continues to grow and learn and thrive. The teachers are kind, caring, loving, and they genuinely care for their kids.Ms. Sara has been our sons teacher and she is absolutely amazing! I have never had any issues that were not brought to our attention (i.e. small bump/accident report), as their office staff does a superb job at keeping parents updated on everything! The management team (Caroline and Mallory) are true professionals and have created an amazing and positive culture at Holly Tree! I highly recommend this school!!

I love Holly Tree!! My son used has asthma and they were always on top of letting me know what was going on. He is now in school with metro but I so miss him coming here!! He loved his teachers and learned so much from Ms. Andria! My daughter has been going here since she was six weeks old and she is absolutely adores her teachers. The way Ms. Sam and the directors dote on her melts my heart and I love that they are like that with all the children. I would recommend Holly Tree to anyone!!

This fall we changed our boys’ (4 year-old and 15 months) day care after some life transitions (work and move). My husband and I were concerned with transitioning the 4 year-old since he had been at his old day care since he was 10 weeks old. The staff at Holly Tree are great. Ms. Tia and Ms. Jennifer met with us, addressed all our concerns, worked with us on timing, and let our oldest visit his new class before his transition. Today, he enjoys his new school and his classmates. The then-15 month-old transitioned quite well into his class, and in no time at all, drop offs were cry-free.Since the boys have started going Holly Tree, we have transitioned down to three days a week, due to work schedules. Ms. Tia has been great at working with us if I need to change days due to a change in work schedule (as long as they have the space). We feel that the staff is well organized, very loving, and both my boys are learning a great deal. I would highly recommend Holly Tree Christian Preschool!

Holly Tree Christian Preschool is an amazing place! The staff are very caring and loving. We have been at the preschool for about 6 months now and have only lived in the area for about a year. The transition to our new home was difficult and my children were having a hard time. When we first starting attending Holly Tree my daughter would cry at drop off and pick up. Her teachers were so good at helping me leave her there and knowing she was loved. Within a week, my daughter was happy to be going to school and loved her teachers! She always comes home happy and talks of what she did at school. The staff are so good at keeping parents informed on what is going on every week and daily if needed. The extras the children get as well are amazing. My daughter is learning Spanish, she does yoga, and she gets to study the Bible. I couldnt be happier here. I feel so blessed to have found this preschool. I would highly recommend this preschool for any families looking for a great preschool for their children!

My daughter started attending Holly Tree right after she turned a year old, and I wouldnt change it for the world. She loves her teachers and all of the staff, and I know that she is in great care there! Ive noticed a huge change in her social skills and shes started to grasp on to sign language. I love that my child is able to learn and grow with this center! You wont regret sending your child(ren) here at all!

Holly Tree is an amazing school with amazing teachers. Children go to be loved on, prayed over and cared for. The directors are great communicators and know every child by name. Holly Tree is more like a family than a school.

My son has been at Holly Tree since he was 5 months old. Its never easy leaving a little one, but Tia and Jennifer are so welcoming and wonderful at creating a family environment. We love his teachers in Toddler 2, Ms. Amy and Ms. Rachel. Even though they work so hard with the kids, they are always cheerful and make time to answer any questions we have. Talk about grace under pressure!

Holly Tree was a complete game changer for my family. We have nothing but praise for the work Caroline and Mallory do along with the fantastic teachers! We suffered through a very bad experience with another daycare. Holly Tree relieved us of the stress we had worried we had done something wrong and now our son is flourishing!

We love Holly Tree! The teachers are so sweet and love teaching kids. All three of my children have been through the program at some time, and we really appreciate that they are learning in a Christ-centered environment. They do a great job of really getting to know families, and I really appreciate that the adults who work there know me and my kids very well. My kiddos and I think Holly Tree is great!

Holly Tree is an amazing facility. The staff here are awesome. They take pride in their work. They strive to care, love and teach the children. Holly Tree is an example of a home away from home.

Holly Tree has exceeded all of the expectations I have for my daughters early education. Ms. Shanice has a true passion for empowering her students to thrive as young elementary students and inspires them to be independent and successful. My daughter will be entering Kindergarten this fall, and has already mastered her sight words, read me a book, knows simple math, Spanish and much more. Holly Tree provides a strong curriculum that is geared to prepare my daughter for success in Kindergarten. The school also provides numerous extracurricular opportunities for its children during the day: Yoga, Soccer, JAM, Music Class, Special guests, etc. As a parent, you want your child to have the best education and opportunities that you can afford. I am very proud that my daughter received her preschool education from Holly Tree - and I would highly recommend this school to all parents.

We have loved every aspect of Holly Tree. From the very first contact with them, we have been welcomed. Our daughter has 2 of the greatest teachers who are patient, friendly, engaging, and loving. They communicate about activities daily w a basic overview (diapers, sleep schedule, food intake, etc). The curriculum is great, playtime outside is emphasized as well, and she learns new songs and signs weekly. Cant say enough good things about this place. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for childcare.

Our son is almost 3 and has been attending Holly Tree Christian Preschool for almost a year and half. We have been very pleased with his care while there. He loves all of the special programs that they offer and cant wait to go play with all of his friends. The curriculum is fantastic, and who doesnt love their toddler counting in both English and Spanish, and singing Jesus Loves Me. The staff does an excellent job communicating with parents about their childs day and progress with their learning skills.

Holly Tree has been such a blessing to our family. Our daughter started at 6 weeks old and I was nervous about having anyone care for my child other than myself. I was even more nervous to have to start her that early. Right away I was put at ease. Not only have they taken great care of my little one, but they have been more than accommodating to this overbearing mom. I call throughout the day to check in, I drop into nurse, I ask tons of questions and they welcome all of it. Erica and her team are wonderful. She is thorough, professional, loving, knowledgable and cares about her little friends (the kids) and her staff. This shows throughout the school. Love them!

My son has been at Holly Tree for 3 months now and we both absolutely love it! Hes only 4 months old but he gets so excited to see his teacher Ms. Samantha. She and Ms. Liah are both so great with them all and they always make sure to let me know how my sons day was. I feel like my son gets the attention he needs and they can definitely tell when hes not himself. Everyone there feels like family. They greet you by name so youre not just another parent. I visited several child care centers and this one blew them all out of the water. There was no question about it. I would highly recommend them.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Staff is truly dedicated to the children and their well-being/happiness/safety. Being in a position where I had to place my infant in childcare in order to return to work, one (and there were many) of my big concerns was facility cleanliness. Suffice it to say, Holly Tree Christian Preschool has set a new bar in that space, among others. Communication surpasses any dealings Ive had previously - receiving daily pictures of my baby smiling, playing, and even sometimes confused by the camera really helped to put my mind at ease.The teachers... not enough can be said. They are just wonderful beyond words, inside and out.

My daughter has been at Holly Tree since she was 10 weeks old, (she is now almost 2) and while there have been some bumps in the road we have always loved Holly Tree and more importantly so has my daughter. Her current teacher, Molly, is incredible. Molly is everything you could ask for in a toddler teacher! She is patient, caring, a great communicator, goes with the flow and has a great sense of humor and my daughter loves her. My daughter is also learning so much at Holly Tree, which is so great to see her development daily. We have also had great experiences with Jennifer, who is now the assistant director, and Makenya. Kynslee bonded with both of these teachers, and still loves them even though she does not get to see them every day. I highly recommend Holly Tree!

I have lost track of the incredible number of directors who have rotated through Holly Tree Christian Preschool Brentwood in the 2 years my son attended. While there are some very enjoyable child care workers on the Holly Tree Brentwood staff, many in the group and especially the leadership lack maturity and professionalism. Finding help at the front desk each morning is virtually impossible. Supplemental programming has eroded. Reports are riddled with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. My sons letter recognition skills actually diminished during his enrollment period. The final straw for me occurred recently when Holly Tree moved to a policy requiring cash-only payment for every minute late due immediately upon pick-up. While a late policy is reasonable and expected, this new under the table cash-only policy was inconvenient, poorly communicated, confrontational, and made me uncomfortable. While I was initially assured that charges would appear on my statement as a receipt, when I requested this documentation, I was denied. Unbelievably, director Erica P. admitted that they were not keeping track. Finally frustrated with the poor communication, staff attitude, and being forced to transact in cash without proper documentation, I started exploring other child care possibilities and discovered superior options even for less money. Since moving my child, I cannot believe the difference. While I miss Holly Trees Christian curriculum, I dont miss the hypocrisy.

My grandson has attended HTB for the past year and a half... and LOVES it! He is learning something new every day. The teachers at HTB are patient and loving with the kids. I get an email at the beginning and end of each week, letting us know whats coming up for the week / whats happened during the week; as well as a daily sheet letting us know if he slept at nap time, how much he ate and just general attitude for the day. The curriculum is awesome - he is learning Spanish at 3! We are very pleased with the care received at HTB and would recommend it to anyone looking for childcare.

I started sending my three girls to Holly Tree Gap Christian Preschool in January 16. We are very impressed by the school and the teachers. Their communication is incredible. We get a daily sheet for all of my girls at each level. At the old daycare we used to go to I only got a sheet for the baby and never really knew what the older girls were doing. They have a monthly calendar of activities planned out for each day and another calendar of what the kids are eating for each meal & snack. If anything changes they will send you an email. They have cameras for each room to monitor what is going on in the front office and parents can also subscribe to that on their phone to check on their kids throughout the day if they want to. My oldest daughter has a bunny named Bamax in their classroom that she absolutely loves. There are multiple outdoor playground areas for each age group. They also have fun activities that they plan for the kids every so often. The directors Tia & Jennifer are so friendly and are very easy to talk to. All of my kids love their teachers and make the kids feel comfortable. The school also has breakfast snacks for the parents when they pick the kids up (which is great since Im always running out of the house). The school is very clean and they are very on top of following the required guidelines. If there is a virus going on in the school they are very much about letting the parents know so that they can watch for that in their own child to cut down on the spreading of it. I love that they have a Christian curriculum to teach the kids. They also have yoga & spanish classes for the older ones. My kids love their new school and I would strongly recommend Holly Tree to anybody that is considering it!!!

This place was an answer to prayer. My wife and I were very much on the fence about trusting anyone else besides us to care for our first born 3 month old daughter, but, work schedules dictated that we must. We searched out a few places around the Franklin/Brentwood area and felt the most comfortable with Holly Tree. From the directors to the care takers themselves, I have experienced nothing short of excellence and professionalism from the staff. They go above and beyond to always make sure we have peace of mind knowing our daughter is being cared for in the best way. They were flexible with us when she was only attending part time and were genuinely excited when we decided to enroll her full-time. The teachers in the classrooms have become like family members to my daughter and I couldnt be more grateful. We have even noticed how much learning takes place while she is in their care. My daughter who is now 16 months old, has learned sign language as well as words and motions to classic childrens songs and loves it when we ask her to repeat what she has learned at home. I have already recommended Holly Tree to other friends in the area as the best choice parents could make when deciding on a day care provider.

Both of our children have been attending Holly Tree for almost a year now and we LOVE the staff and the curriculum! My son comes home singing songs he learned in JAM (Jesus and Me). He loves Ms. Sandra, the Childrens Minister and we love how she ministers to the children. The teachers have GREAT enthusiasm, including Ms. Shaunice in the Pre-K classroom. Ms. Makenya and Ms. April are also great! The leadership staff is very professional and excellent at communicating, which we really appreciate. I feel the curriculum is helping my children gain a strong early education experience and Bible knowledge, all while having fun. I also appreciate the playground space and that they children get adequate outdoor time during weather appropriate days. We highly recommend Holly Tree to families!

We LOVE our HTB!!My son started his daycare journey at one of HTB sister schools, The Academy, in March of 2015 when he was 10 weeks old. We enjoyed our time at The Academy, but when I found out that I would be staring a new job in Brentwood, the hunt was on for a new school. The first thing that attracted me to HTB (other than location) was the fact that they were a Christian preschool. This was very important to me & its not something that is easy to find with full day hours. In August of 2016, at almost 2 years old, Knox started HTB . Of course there was the week of transition, new place, new faces & not wanting to leave moms arms. Broken hearted, I knew I was able to do this once before, so I pushed through and placed him in the arms of HTB. Number one most important thing, when leaving your child somewhere is knowing that they are safe. HTB has gone above and beyond, exceeding my expectations since that first Monday morning. The teachers love all of the HTB children , even if they have never been in their class & they take care of them like theyre one of their own. Expressions of love for my son are shown to me each and every day from the entire HTB staff. Knox wakes up each morning and goes to bed each night saying I want Ms. Rachel and thats because he loves HTB. There is not a doubt in my mind that my child is being taken care of and loved 100% each day when I drop him off.Communication with the directors is always open & quickly responded to. Basic overview & activities are communicated by the teachers at the end of each day. Curriculum is clearly communicated to the parents at the beginning of each week and then wrapped up on Fridays, so there is never that wonder of what your child has been doing. Any special needs or request for your child are accommodated by the staff quickly without hesitation. HTB will truly make you feel like you are their only family!We absolutely love our HTB family and we are so thankful that we were given the opportunity to be apart of their program. Without a doubt, without any hesitation, I would recommend HTB!

Our family loves HTB. My daughter has been at holly tree since six weeks old. As an infant she would cry when it was time to leave school. We were so comfortable with leaving our daughter in the care of HTB. HTB provided such a loving and caring environment. Now my two year is overjoyed everytime we pull into the school parking lot in the morning. She loves her teacher so much, the she even ask to see Ms. April on the weekends ( who is FANTASTIC!!!) Ms. April really takes the time to develop a nuturing relationship with her children which I believe enhances their learning experiences. My two year old has such an extensive vocabulary, can identify her alphabets, numbers, shapes, colors, animals. A big plus is that my daughter knows a ton of bible songs and stories. We are soon expecting our second child and we are extremely excited about having Ms. Makenya as a teacher again. Ms. Makenya is great in nursery 2 - she really gets to know the families and encourages her children to develop their gross motor skills. Ms. Erica is a great director. She is very approachable, helpful and catering to her parents and children. She has created a christian enrichment that exposes the children to a variety of different things hrough physical activities, the arts and music, foreign language, Healthy and safe lifestyles activities. Did I forget breakfast for parents every morning, dry cleaning services, and family dinner once a month!!!
