FAQ
Ratios are 4:1 for infants, 5:1 for toddlers, 8:1 for Preschool Prep, and 10:1 for Pre-K — all at or better than Tennessee TDHS requirements. We believe smaller groups produce better outcomes.
Yes. We accept CCAP (Child Care Assistance Program), Tennessee childcare vouchers, and employer-sponsored Dependent Care FSA funds. Contact us to verify current availability before enrollment.
Children must be fever-free (below 100.4°F), vomit-free, and diarrhea-free for 24 hours without medication before returning. We know this is hard — but it’s how we keep your healthy child from getting sick.
Sunflower is a completely nut-free campus. For other allergies, we maintain an allergy action plan signed by a physician and communicate with parents daily. Our kitchen team is allergy-trained.
Our curriculum is Reggio-inspired and project-based, meaning children’s own questions and interests guide learning. We layer in intentional pre-literacy, pre-math, and social-emotional skill-building within child-led play.
We use Brightwheel for real-time photo updates, daily reports (meals, naps, diapers, activities), and secure two-way messaging. We also hold twice-yearly parent-teacher conferences.
Doors open at 6:30am and close at 6:30pm Monday through Friday. A late pickup fee of $5/minute applies after 6:30pm to respect our teachers’ time.
Infant spots have the highest demand with an average 3–8 week wait. Toddler, Preschool Prep, and Pre-K often have openings. Submit an inquiry and we’ll tell you exactly where things stand.
