Preschools in Maryville, TN

Maryville is where families in Blount County and the small towns around it look for preschools in Tennessee that run from infant rooms up to Pre-K. This page holds 14 preschools and child care centers. Thirteen sit in Blount County and one is across the line in Loudon County. Three are based in the smaller places nearby: Archer Academy in Louisville, Olympia Child Development Center in Alcoa and Kiddie Kingdom Daycare in Philadelphia. The mix is wide, from schools with decades behind them to church ministries and Head Start centers, so a parent here is comparing very different kinds of program.

The long-running schools set the tone. Foothills Childcare And Pre-School has cared for and taught children since 1991. Its infant program takes babies from 6 weeks to 18 months, a toddler to Pre-K program follows, and the pre-k classes include a kindergarten readiness program. It holds a 4.8 rating from 24 reviews. Maryville Children's Academy is family-owned and has served East Tennessee since 1993. Its play-based curriculum follows the Tennessee Early Learning Developmental Standards, with infant and toddler rooms leading into a Pre-K program that works with Knox County educators on kindergarten skills. It is rated 4.2 from 34 reviews.

Not every program here is a full-week child care center. Wesley Day School is a preschool for children ages 3 to 5 that meets Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday on the Maryville City Schools calendar, with 9:00 to 12:00 hours for the younger group. It has held a 3-star DHS rating for 18 years and puts a teacher and a teaching assistant in every classroom. Its 5.0 rating comes from 2 reviews, which is a short record. Tennessee's Star-Quality program is voluntary, and providers that exceed minimum licensing standards can earn 1 to 3 stars, so a 3-star program has gone well past the minimum.

Faith-based options are a real part of the local market. The Learning Tree Preschool is a ministry of Fairview Church that prepares children for kindergarten with a Christian based curriculum and Bible emphasis. Spots open at various times of year, so families complete an online registration form to join the waitlist. It holds a 1.0 from a single review, which on its own tells a reader very little. Minds in Motion Learning Center is a Christian based, Reggio-inspired center with a natural, play-based setting, rated 4.0 from 23 reviews, 17 of them five stars and 6 one star.

Past the county line, Kiddie Kingdom Daycare in Philadelphia is a locally owned, family-operated center run by the Kelch family. It enrolls children from six weeks of age, with infant, nursery, preschool and school-age rooms, and daily schedules include music, singing, storytime and art. It holds a 5.0 rating from 8 reviews. Two Head Start centers also serve this area, Fairview Head Start and Southdowne Head Start, each with one five-star review. Sonrise Preschool, Adventure Club and Parent's Day Out Enrichment Program are smaller entries, each with between 1 and 3 reviews.

Families who want to widen the search can open the nearby pages for Knoxville, Seymour, Oak Ridge, Sevierville and Clinton. Knox County is worth keeping in mind in particular, because the Pre-K program at Maryville Children's Academy works with Knox County educators.
