We love this Academy! Our little girl goes here two times a week and she loves it. The staff is great and I feel like they actually enjoy working with kiddos. The little activities they do and pictures that are sent on the Tadpoles app is so nice. I’m so thankful to have a place I trust close by. I highly recommend!

We love the Academy at West Haven! The teachers are amazing! Ms. Xena, Ms. Brittany, and Ms. Katie are the best teachers. I know I leave my child in good hands 5 days a week! Always learning and smiling :) I highly recommend the Academy at West Haven! -Tiffanie Morgan

With experience in 3 preschools between 2 different children, we wish we had found the academy sooner. You will find less expensive options in Franklin, but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. The Academy staff is amazing and make even the most timid of children feel comfortable and loved.

Bittersweet day today. My 7.5 mo old baby boy had his last day of daycare (at least for the forseeable future). We are excited he will be staying home with his grandma and developing an amazing bond with her and to be saving the daycare expense but we know he’s really going to miss his friends from school. The staff, parents, and children at the Academy of Westhaven are all amazing people and we are truly going to miss them. My son absolutely adores his teacher, Ms. Faith. She has so much love for him and the other babies and they know how much she loves them. She is always doing projects with them and sending home crafts with pictures and footprints and all the things that make a mother’s heart melt. She even helped my boy make me a card for my birthday ❤️ We are going to miss her. There are so many other teachers and staff that have loved on my boy- Sarah, Britney, Carla, Megan, Danielle, I cant try to name them all but I can tell you that the staff here truly falls in love with the kiddos they teach every day! Alanna did an amazing job stepping up when Monica went out for leave and kept everything running smoothly. I never had to worry about whether my baby was in good hands, I knew everyone in that building loved him and I’m so grateful for the impact they had on my sons life as well as mine.

I am so happy to have found the Academy for our 11 month old son! I was dreading the day I returned to work after maternity leave but could not have asked for better teachers to love and care for him! They send photos throughout the day and keep me updated on everything. I would hands down recommend the Academy of Westhaven :)

We love the teachers and the school because they make it feel like a community. The school is clean and breakfast is always the BEST! They take time to create fun activities for the kids such as art work, free play, learning stations, songs, special visitors etc!

My 3 and 4 year old both attend the Academy in Westhaven. I am a stay at home mom and send my children to this state of the art academy by pure choice and privilege so that my kids can have social interaction with peers, as well as have a fun, challenging, upbeat academic learning experience. The school and the staff are both the best of the best. My family consider the staff here personal friends and family. The directors, Monica and Alanna, are always just an email or call away and go out of their way to make sure they do everything they can to accommodate everyone....and are ALWAYS smiling and in a great mood with the parents and kids. My children have LOVED all of their amazing teachers including Miss Xena, Miss Brianna, Miss Britney, Mr Lucas and so many more that recognize my children and make them feel safe, special, and cared about even though they are not their direct teacher. If you are looking for a school and teachers that you can trust the academy of westhaven is an exceptional experience!

Hard to believe my little one will be heading to Kindergarten in the fall. Feeling so blessed and thankful for all the love, care, laughs, and smiles the Academy of Westhaven has showered upon her over these last 4 years. She has had the most amazing teachers and support staff for whom we will always be thankful!

Our daughter is thriving thanks to the great curriculum. She talks about her friends and teachers constantly on nights and weekends and says she can’t wait to go back school. Also, Miss Zena is wonderful. Very sweet and engaging!!

We have absolutely loved our experience at Westhaven so far. Everyone is extremely professional, the facility is clean and the staff are fantastic. The directors are extremely organized and clearly set a standard of care that is difficult to find. Faith in the infant class is the sweetest, most caring person and we cant thank her enough for the peace of mind she provides. She takes an immense amount of pride in her work and it shows by how happy our child is in her care.

The Academy of Westhaven is wonderful. As a first time mom I have never worried leaving my son in their care. They make it very easy and comfortable. My son is always smiling when I hand him over to his teacher in the mornings and when we pick him up in the afternoon. I absolutely love this daycare.

The staff of the Academy of Westhaven are the absolute best. I’ve been going for almost 7 years now. Their teachers and staff are so loving and caring. They will help guide you and assist you with any phase your child might be going through. My oldest son is in 1st grade now and he was far more prepared for school than others in his class and I accredit that to the preparation AOW provided. Don’t think twice if you are considering this preschool. It’s never easy to leave your kids, but it’s much easier to leave them with people they love and their loved back. Plus...You have the option to check on them anytime with their web based class cameras.Love them and would recommend them to anyone.

The Academy of Westhaven is the best preschool around! My daughter loves it and is so excited to go to school everyday. As a teacher here, I see how much everyone cares for the children. From the directors to the teachers, every single staff member goes above and beyond to give every child the quality care that they deserve. Monica(director) and Paige(assistant director) are outstanding at their jobs, and treat my daughter like one of their own. I am happy to have found a place where I know my daughter is loved and has quality care. This is our second home and I am privileged to be a part of AOW Family!

When our first baby was ready for childcare, we had our reservations and werent sure what to expect. Fast forward 2 years, and we couldnt be happier with the care that our 3 children receive from the Academy staff. They truly care for our babies as if they are their own. When we are at home, our children ask when they get to go back to school to play with their friends. A+

Having gone from an at home nanny to daycare, I was nervous. BUT, our experience at AOW has been very positive. They do a great job of informing parents and staying organized while still creating a fun and loving environment. The teachers seem genuinely happy to be there which transfers down to the kids. In addition, they have hosted some really fun events which has given me the chance to meet the other parents. Shout out to the amazing Toddler 2 teacher... thank you for loving our son and having such a positive influence on his happiness.

My daughter has been attending The Academy of Westhaven for about 5 months and absolutely loves her teachers and new friends. She has flourished so much with Md. Joyce and comes home singing new songs, counting to almost 20 and saying her ABCs and she is only 2 years old. We love working with Paige and Monica and can tell they really all the children at the school. Thank you Academy of Westhaven for a great experience for our daughter and for us as parents!

I absolutely love the academy and all of the staff, too. Being a first time mom I thought it was going to be very difficult to leave my son with ANYONE. Luckily, the teachers at the Academy made it an easy transition for me and my son. I know that when I pick him up every afternoon hell have a smile on his face and I look forward reading the reports I get of his day. One of the most amazing results of bringing him to the Academy of Westhaven is observing the development and achievements of milestones. This would not be possible at any school without the passion and dedication of the staff of the Academy of Westhaven.

I cannot begin to describe how much my family loves The Academy of Westhaven. My daughter has been attending this school for the past year and it is truly amazing how much she has blossomed. Every day she brings home something new that she has learned! The staff all takes such an interest in her experience and that makes such a huge difference to know that everyone in the facility knows my daughters name and cares for her. I appreciate all the great work they do and recommend this school to anyone and everyone in need of truly great childcare.

Our experience at The Academy at Westaven has been nothing but pleasant. The school is always very clean and well taken care of. The staff is very friendly and really cares about the students. Always with smiles on their faces. My son always looks forward to going there and often times does not want to leave when I pick him up. He has made wonderful friends being in a neighborhood preschool. Ones that will follow him through elementary and middle school. We were in a private school in cool springs and are very happy that we switched to this very special preschool. Best family decision.

My son loved it here but unfortunately we could not able to continue to send him here because it was too far for us. My son loved his teacher and remembers specially his first teacher Ms.Xena.

As a first time parent we were not sure what to do or expect with sending our 1 year old off for the day. The staff from day 1 has always been amazing with our son. He is always having fun, full of smiles and worn our by the time he gets home. Classrooms are always clean, food is always the best and good mix of health options and the staff is flexible. We have also had 2 occasions where they noticed he was sick or not feeling well. When we showed up they were just cuddling with him keeping him company. Management is great and knows everyone personally. You are not just a paying person but a part of the family there.

Iove how excited he is every day to see his teachers:). baby #2 has been at the academy since just 8 weeks old and I have had such a positive experiences. It is never easy to leave a baby that young, and they have been so amazing!

Sending our youngest to AOW has been a blessing. Providing a breakfast in mornings for families has created a soft drop off experience. She is always happy to be taken to class. It is a pleasure when yo see that the teachers enjoy seeing her and she enjoys seeing them. We appreciate all that AOW has to offer and find it has been a great experience.

Our experience with the Academy of Westhaven has been wonderful. The curriculum and facilities are fabulous, but the best part about this day school is definitely the staff. The administration and the teachers are all so engaged and genuinely care about the well being and development of each of the children at the school. It puts my mind at ease while at work to know that my child is being loved and nurtured by such wonderful people. Our son has really flourished during his time at the AoW, and I know he will be well prepared for his future education because of his time here. Thank you AoW!

I put all four of my kids through The Academy and that is saying something. I love the staff and their facility is very well run. Some other pre-schools just keep your kids alive during the day, but the directors and teachers here are fully engaged with the kids and call them by name when they see them. They follow a great curriculum which prepares the children for school afterwards. The schedule is very consistent which is another benefit for the kids. The communication with parents is outstanding. I would not send my kids to any other school.

The Academy of Westhaven Franklin does a GREAT job with my 2 children. I couldnt be happier with the facilities, the staff and the curriculum that my kids have been taught. The teachers and management really care about each kid and their progress and it shows daily.

My son has been attending the Academy of Westhaven since January. Prior to this transition to the Academy he was attending another daycare. As a parent, having a piece of mind that youre child is happy is very important to me. Since he has been at AOW, he has blossomed into such an amazing 3 year old. He comes home everyday excited to tell me about his day and what he learned from his teacher and enrichment. Every morning he LOVES to go to school.AOW has been such a blessing to us. I could not ask for a better environment for my son. Clean, safe, and loving. The staff is so personal. The teachers are amazing and they grow such an amazing bond with children.

The Academy of Westhaven has exceeded all our expectations in a pre school! They are the best. We were referred by our sons physician. Due to his peanut allergy and verbal delay we needed a very caring and conscientious school. We were blessed to find the AOW.The facility is beautiful, clean and organized. Each week the school has a theme (example fitness week) and each day there is a special activity. Every room is decorated for the season and full of books and educational toys. There are three different age appropriate playgrounds. In the mornings parents can have breakfast with their child and the cost is included with their tuition. They are a Gold sneaker facility meaning they serve only nutritious foods (no junk) and the meals provided are things my toddler will actually eat!They best asset AOW has is its staff. Everyone I have encountered is friendly, warm, and HELPFUL! I receive a daily progress report of what Henry has eaten, his activities, naptime and how many times he has been helped with the potty. Ms Xena, Ms Monica and Ms Pagie have helped us beyond measure with transitioning Henry to pre school. We have already seen progress with our son and are excited about his time at the Academy of Westhaven!
