Our son attended PB & J for three years before starting Kindergarten and we had an amazing experience! The staff is attentive, friendly and knows the name of every child in the school regardless of classroom! It’s a lovely, clean & safe environment for them to grow socially, physically and academically. We are impressed by the unique pre-school Brooke & Jennifer have built. We were sad to say good-bye when it was time. We absolutely recommend PB & J and would shout it from the rooftops!

I could not say enough good things about PB&J and the staff. Being a super protective and worrisome new mother, I spent months researching places to send my daughter to help socialize her and get her more accustomed to other people and environments that was safe and educational. I landed on PB&J, did a tour and loved it. Signed her up and since she started two months ago, my shy and afraid of everyone two year old baby girl went from screaming and crying to LOVING her class and her teachers and being SO excited about going. She has started talking our ears off when she wasnt really before, she knows her colors and so many shapes and even learning some numbers and letters now. I am amazed at the positive difference I have seen in her after only going two days a week for a few months.Also, I must add I appreciate how safe and secure the campus is and how well all of the staff and teachers know me and my child by name. It is so impressive to me and comforting that they dont just see her as a number but know HER and care for her as I would want.The only thing I wish was different and I mean ONLY thing is I wish the standard hours offered were longer rather than being offered as before and after care. Otherwise - PERFECT place!

We love PB&J! This is our second year here and so glad we chose this day school for our kids. The staff is always so friendly, theres so much for the kids to do and learn, and they even have several school animals so the children can see them and learn about them! We love this place and you will too. Two thumbs up!

We love PB and J! Since our son started, he has come home every day with a smile on his face! The teachers are very loving and great with the children. The school is very clean and the teachers do a great job interacting with the children to keep them stimulated. We are very pleased and happy to be a part of the PB and J family!

PB&J is the third preschool we have had our children in. I never knew what a great school was until we enrolled here- I hate that we had to try the others first! The teachers and administration will work with you and your children to make sure that everyone is comfortable and getting what they need. I cannot say enough about this school and would absolutely recommend it to anyone!

This is my sons second and last pre-school. We are so thrilled with the program, the teacher retention rate and systems put into place by this daycare. Aaron is learning so much and he is so happy when he goes to school. The teachers stay the same so he always has that to count on. Both the owners are super involved and genuinely care about each child. The communication is fantastic between the staff and families. PB&J was highly recommended to us by friends and neighbors and Im so glad that it was. I cant express how happy we are there.

My 3 year old just started at PB&J and so far we LOVE it! The daily reports from the teacher are so helpful! Classroom pets, bright environment, windows in each classroom and loving staff! I also LOVE that you can drop off at 8:35 and pick up at 3p - really helps give this busy mom a break!

I have two kids who started at PB&J last week. Its been a great experience. My favorite part of the school is the level of communication we have with the teachers and directors. I was pleasantly surprised with neither of the kids cried on the first day but I was SHOCKED when they didnt cry on the second day (a true test of their level of comfort!). Thank you, PB&J. Youve set a high standard.

With very professional staff and a very warm and caring environment, PB&J Day School is a great fit for our son and our family. We love the many and varied ways of communicating with us parents about our childs day to day, the wonderful facilities created with teaching little ones in mind, and the personal touch of Brooke and Jennifer which has made this transition for our family a positive one. We look forward to seeing our son grow and learn at PB&J in the years to come.

We are so proud to be a PB&J family. My five year old daughter just graduated from PB&J and started kindergarten last week. She has sailed through her first week of kindergarten with wonder and excitement and I give huge credit to the outstanding teachers at PB&J for setting the foundation. We also have a 2.5 year old son who is at PB&J and loves every minute of school. Every morning at drop off, Im able to pull away knowing that my kids are in a safe and loving environment. My favorite thing about PB&J and the teachers is that they nurture critical life traits like empathy, kindness, curiosity, and compassion while never losing sight of the fact that being a kid is pretty awesome and learning should be fun. I feel so thankful that the teachers at PB&J have been part of their childhood.

George is a great grape this year and we are loving his time at pbj. It is a beautiful facility with staff we absolutely trust able to check in on him with their online kid cam whenever we want. The curriculum goes above and beyond including things like gardening and classroom pets. We are amazed daily at all he is learning.

Weve had three of our children graduate through PB&J and one still loving to go every Tuesday and Thursday. The programs and teachers at PB&J have given our kids a tremendous head start on their educational journey. We are so thankful for all the loving care givers and educators at PB&J Day School!

We have had our son at PB&J for about a month now and already he is doing better than he did at his previous school. We love the community feel at PB&J and feel like they take excellent care of our little guy. We definitely feel we made the right decision in choosing PB&J!

So far, so good! Our daughter is enjoying PB&J and we love the communication with daily reports on what the class is learning and how our daughter is doing, both academically and behaviorally. Most importantly, our daughter is liking her days there and the learning/playing ratio seems to be working well. Well update our review after more time has passed, but these first two weeks have proven themselves to be a very promising start!

We just put our 3 year old in PB&J and even though he has only been 3 days thus far we already absolutely LOVE it! They are very organized and thorough about what they do throughout the day which is amazing. We used the webcam today for the first time and it was just so great to be able to check in and see what theyre doing in class! Love love love this place and so does our little babe!

We have thoroughly enjoyed our first year with PB&J Dayschool! We feel like each of the teachers and staff take the time to truly know and love our son. Its so amazing to see and hear what all he learns each day when he comes home. The teachers are also so easy to communicate with and seem to really love what they do.

I just want to say how much we love PB&J! Our four year old says everyday he loves his school and looks forward to going. This is a huge improvement over the Mothers Day out program we had him in last fall. We pulled him out because he was unhappy there. All of the staff are so friendly and caring. Our 16 month old is all smiles according to his teachers, and has so much fun playing on both the indoor and outdoor playgrounds. The webcams are a nice bonus. It gave me and my husband peace of mind during their first days knowing we could check in on them. Would definitely recommend!

While this school started out well for our son; it soon became apparent to us that this school was beginning to single out our one year old son who was soon to be two.They were always happy to see him at drop off in car line exclaiming that he was their favorite child. One note from us as parents challenging their questionable decision as if our child was sick; which he wasn’t and the whole story changed the following week. Monday morning drop off and no one was chipper when picking him up from car line and nothing said like every time previous; strange how this changed over the weekend.Two days later, he was dismissed from the school for his aggressive behavior. This behavior as proclaimed by the owners a few weeks back as developmentally normal for a child his age all of the sudden was not normal. If someone is running a daycare, should they not know the simple fact from AAP that childhood aggressive behavior is common from 12-36 months? Excerpt from AAP they need to familiarize themselves with; ‘Parents of a two-year old can tell you that children at that age often become more aggressive. They want to be in charge. And if they don’t get what they want they react with violent behavior like biting, kicking, or hitting. This is normal, but not acceptable, behavior. Your two-year old doesn’t have the language skills or patience to cope with disappointment or frustration. So give him plenty of positive outlets for his energy through physical play and exercise. When he’s with other children, supervise him carefully, and praise him for positive behaviors. Be careful not to teach aggressiveness through your own behavior, such as using physical punishment. If you do need to discipline your child, time-outs are a good method, removing him from his toys, friends and from you for a couple of minutes. If you stay calm and focus on the positives, you and your two-year-old can survive the “take-charge” twos.’Did they ask for a conference? No. Did the owners just decide that it would be easier to discriminate and single him out and ask him to leave? Absolutely.My suggestion is if you do not ever question authority and a poor decision from a school; by all means send your child here. But, be warned if your child needs a bit more attention and you like to have an opinion, this is not the place to send your child. There are more than enough places in Franklin that care for any child and are familiar with childhood development.

Our daughter just started her 2nd year with PB&J and we couldnt be more satisfied. The staff is great and she loves her teachers! We love being able to watch her on the classroom and playground webcams. We are amazed at the new things she learns each week and it is fun watching her grow and learn with her classmates.

We started at PB&J in the summer of 2017 and couldnt be happier. The teachers show that they truly care about the kids and it has been an enriching experience for my 2 year old son.

PB&J Day has been such a positive impact on our children. Our 5yr old spent last year there before moving into kindergarten and the support that was provided given our relocation to the area in the middle of the yr was just amazing. Our twins started pre-k this yr and are settling right in. The staff are incredibly professional and leave you feeling safe, secure, and satisfied with the experience being provided for your children. The entire operation runs so smooth from drop off to release, billing, communication, etc. As a diehard operations professional, I am always in awe of how the staff lead and organize the day to day. Truly a great school!

Deciding where to send your child for care is a huge decision and I am thankful to say that I have never questioned the decision to send our son to PB&J. I know he is learning, having fun and being loved in an environment that is just right for fostering all of these things.

We have had an outstanding experience with PBJ Dayschool! Not only do I feel safe leaving my kids there, I feel they are truly known & loved by their teachers and learn far more than I ever expected they could for their age. The teachers are easy to communicate with and seem to have as much fun as the kids, they love what they do, and I think it shows through the education the kids receive. HIGHLY recommend!!

We have sent (are sending) all 3 of our children through PB&J Day School in Franklin & have nothing but great things to say about them! The staff is great, helpful, and specifically makes it a point to get to know each of the children and parents. We feel like our oldest, who is now in 1st grade, was very prepared for elementary school and is thriving. This can be credited in large part to the preparation he received while at PB&J. We expect nothing less than the same for each of our other children currently going through the school.On a practical level it is very reasonable & if you dont need full time day care they have many great options: M-F 9-3, MWF, T/TH, and even extra hours before or after if need be. Trust me, we do our research and this is the place for us! :-)

Our 2.5 year old daughter Rachel LOVES it at PBJ! I go school tomorrow? is a common question. :-) This is her 2nd fall start and also has gone the last two summers. The teachers have been very open to discussion about any concerns and are very helpful with suggestions and progress reports. The fact that its just 2 miles away -- and a bit less money than similar area non-church related pre-schools -- is just a bonus.

Pbj has been an excellent choice for my children. My first grader was reading well before entering kindergarten. She learned to love learning at Pbj. My son is still enrolled and has had the privilege of an academic environment coupled with a loving, supportive group of professionals that encourage him to learn and grow. There is no better choice for our children!

Our three yr. old is on his second year at PBJ. He absolutely loves it. Everyday, he is asking why we didnt leave him in after care. He is learning so much and at a very reasonable cost. The facilities at PBJ are top notch and we know our child is safe while he is there. My wife and I can even spy on him while he is playing with his buddies. The staff is sooo amazing. They are more than willing to answer questions and help in any way they can. I highly recommend PBJ!!!!!!

PB & J Day School far exceeds other childcare settings that my daughter has attended. I love that it is a nurturing yet provides an academically-based environment through which my child can learn and grow.
