Southgate Children's Academy

This is the best school in the area! After many disappointing experiences at other local centers we finally found Southgate. We are beyond thrilled with the school. We finally feel comfortable with having to leave her somewhere. We never have to worry that she is being stimulated and cared for while there. Other schools didn't even pretend to care about the kids. Each and every member of the staff at Southgate is amazing and makes you feel welcome. We are so grateful to have found this place and have referred a few friends so far. We will continue to sing the praises of Southgate!

Southgate just feels like the comfort of home. I had visited several other schools and always left feeling something was missing. From the moment I toured I knew my search was over. There is a genuine sense of love for and nurturing of the children. I am so grateful to have found SCA as since I must work and cannot stay home with her myself I can feel good every day knowing that I am leaving her in such good and caring hands. My daughter has attended since she was an infant and is now 4. She loves it and everyone there and I cannot imagine her being anywhere else.

Absolutely wonderful! We've had a great experience at Southgate. We love the teachers and staff. They all know our son and have a genuine love and concern for the children. It is a clean, well maintained facility and has an awesome indoor play area for those cold, rainy days. I highly recommend SCA to anyone looking for a "home away from home" and a great learning environment for their child.

This school is amazing! We have two kids enrolled, both since they where six weeks old. The staff is extremely talented and completely dedicated to the children. Watching them interact & hearing the things they learn at such young age is truly amazing. The facility is extremely clean & well kept. Both of our children love it here and enjoy going to school each day. We recommend SCA to anyone looking for a great daycare/preschool.

My husband and I toured many other daycares/preschools schools in Williamson County. We actually signed our son up at another place before we stumbled upon SCA. As the very last school we toured, and thinking we already found the right place for our son, I knew immediately there was just something very different about SCA. It offered a safe and structured environment along with low teacher to child ratios and you could just feel the care and love there when meeting with the director and teachers. It just felt like a ’home away from home’ instead of just a daycare or school. I knew by the end of the tour SCA was for us. We canceled enrollment in our previous selection and started our almost 1 year son in the infant program. Leaving my one and only child for the first time at a SCA was really difficult, as it would be for anyone, but the teachers and staff quickly relieved any anxiety I had by being so friendly and overwhelming us with daily details of his day. I quickly realized what a special and loving place SCA is and that my feeling of a ‘home away from home’ was dead on. Not only is SCA a special loving place where I know my son is safe and cared for, but it offers show much extra. Detailed daily sheets of my child’s day, snacks and homemade lunches (yeah!! No packing lunch everyday), a great creative learning curriculum and extended hours of operation (7 am -6pm) for us working parents…and all of this at no extra tuition cost. Our son has since moved through the toddler program and now at the age of three is thriving in SCA’s preschool program. I just can’t say enough about how much I love this place!

"We feel so blessed that we found Southgate and made the decision to enroll our child in their program. Our 2 year old son has been at Southgate since he was 3 months old and we have never felt the need to search for a new childcare program. We never drop off our son and wonder if he is being taken care of, loved or is happy. We have loved all of the teachers and find it reassuring that not just our son's teacher knows him by name, but that all of the teachers know who he is and who we are. The communication between the staff and parents is wonderful. The detailed reports we get each day mean a lot and keep us up to date on what is going on and how are child is doing at school. I believe the fact that Southgate is a privately

owned school/program truly makes a difference. There is no corporate feel. Just a feeling of teachers who love children and have your child's best interest in mind."

We have always been extremely happy with the care our children have received at SCA, and the friendships we have developed there. My oldest child had attended another childcare facility that I was very unhappy with, which created a lot of stress. What a blessing to find SCA and know the peace of mind in finding the quality of care and environment we were delighted with. I like that it is locally owned by a Franklin family, and has a warm non-institutional feel...it just has a good "vibe" from the moment you walk in. The teachers are happy and loving, and the children are happy. I never hesitate to recommend SCA to anyone!!

Our son has been attending Southgate Children's Academy full-time since he was 12 weeks old. The teachers are kind, patient and have provided a solid early childhood education. We feel like our son is very prepared to attend kindergarten in the fall. Southgate's teachers and staff are like family to us.

Southgate has been such a blessing in our lives! My daughter began daycare in another facility that is now closed, then moved on to Primrose before starting at SCA in the 2 year old class. She has never been happier, and neither have we! From the prices, the facilities, the teachers, and the curriculum, it is all far above anything else we found in the Williamson County area. She is now in the Pre-K class and is more prepared for kindergarten than I could have expected! My son then began SCA in the infant department and was loved on and taken such good care of from 6 weeks old to 15 months before moving into the toddler department. The only bad thing that we have found is that we have to move on from class to class when the kids are ready, and we miss the teachers that we are leaving behind! We always end up loving the new one just as much! :) We are very thankful for SCA and would recommend it to anyone!

We have been very happy with Southgate Children's Academy. Our child has attended since 3 months old and his now a toddler. We love the teachers and believe they truly love our child - and all the children there. The facility is very well maintained and colorful and fun for the kids. Their curriculum is impressive and our child has thrived there. We were referred by friends and it's one of the best decisions we've made. We like that it is family owned and operated and has a very active parent's association. They have great annual events that the kids and parents love. It's a special place and we are so glad our child gets to be there every day.
