We LOVE our HTB!! My son started his daycare journey at one of HTB sister schools, The Academy, in March of 2015 when he was 10 weeks old. We enjoyed our time at The Academy, but when I found out that I would be staring a new job in Brentwood, the hunt was on for a new school. The first thing that attracted me to HTB (other than location) was the fact that they were a Christian preschool. This was very important to me & its not something that is easy to find with full day hours. In August of 2016, at almost 2 years old, Knox started HTB . Of course there was the week of transition, new place, new faces & not wanting to leave moms arms. Broken hearted, I knew I was able to do this once before, so I pushed through and placed him in the arms of HTB. Number one most important thing, when leaving your child somewhere is knowing that they are safe. HTB has gone above and beyond, exceeding my expectations since that first Monday morning. The teachers love all of the HTB children , even if they have never been in their class & they take care of them like theyre one of their own. Expressions of love for my son are shown to me each and every day from the entire HTB staff. Knox wakes up each morning and goes to bed each night saying "I want Ms. Rachel" and thats because he loves HTB. There is not a doubt in my mind that my child is being taken care of and loved 100% each day when I drop him off. Communication with the directors is always open & quickly responded to. Basic overview & activities are communicated by the teachers at the end of each day. Curriculum is clearly communicated to the parents at the beginning of each week and then wrapped up on Fridays, so there is never that wonder of what your child has been doing. Any special needs or request for your child are accommodated by the staff quickly without hesitation. HTB will truly make you feel like you are their only family! We absolutely love our HTB family and we are so thankful that we were given the opportunity to be apart of their program. Without a doubt, without any hesitation, I would recommend HTB!

I started sending my three girls to Holly Tree Gap Christian Preschool in January 16. We are very impressed by the school and the teachers. Their communication is incredible. We get a daily sheet for all of my girls at each level. At the old daycare we used to go to I only got a sheet for the baby and never really knew what the older girls were doing. They have a monthly calendar of activities planned out for each day and another calendar of what the kids are eating for each meal & snack. If anything changes they will send you an email. They have cameras for each room to monitor what is going on in the front office and parents can also subscribe to that on their phone to check on their kids throughout the day if they want to. My oldest daughter has a bunny named Bamax in their classroom that she absolutely loves. There are multiple outdoor playground areas for each age group. They also have fun activities that they plan for the kids every so often. The directors Tia & Jennifer are so friendly and are very easy to talk to. All of my kids love their teachers and make the kids feel comfortable. The school also has breakfast snacks for the parents when they pick the kids up (which is great since Im always running out of the house). The school is very clean and they are very on top of following the required guidelines. If there is a virus going on in the school they are very much about letting the parents know so that they can watch for that in their own child to cut down on the spreading of it. I love that they have a Christian curriculum to teach the kids. They also have yoga & spanish classes for the older ones. My kids love their new school and I would strongly recommend Holly Tree to anybody that is considering it!!!

I have lost track of the incredible number of directors who have rotated through Holly Tree Christian Preschool Brentwood in the 2 years my son attended. While there are some very enjoyable child care workers on the Holly Tree Brentwood staff, many in the group and especially the leadership lack maturity and professionalism. Finding help at the front desk each morning is virtually impossible. Supplemental programming has eroded. Reports are riddled with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. My sons letter recognition skills actually diminished during his enrollment period. The final straw for me occurred recently when Holly Tree moved to a policy requiring cash-only payment for every minute late due immediately upon pick-up. While a late policy is reasonable and expected, this new under the table cash-only policy was inconvenient, poorly communicated, confrontational, and made me uncomfortable. While I was initially assured that charges would appear on my statement as a receipt, when I requested this documentation, I was denied. Unbelievably, director Erica P. admitted that they were not keeping track. Finally frustrated with the poor communication, staff attitude, and being forced to transact in cash without proper documentation, I started exploring other child care possibilities and discovered superior options even for less money. Since moving my child, I cannot believe the difference. While I miss Holly Trees Christian curriculum, I dont miss the hypocrisy.

Our family loves HTB. My daughter has been at holly tree since six weeks old. As an infant she would cry when it was time to leave school. We were so comfortable with leaving our daughter in the care of HTB. HTB provided such a loving and caring environment. Now my two year is overjoyed everytime we pull into the school parking lot in the morning. She loves her teacher so much, the she even ask to see Ms. April on the weekends ( who is FANTASTIC!!!) Ms. April really takes the time to develop a nuturing relationship with her children which I believe enhances their learning experiences. My two year old has such an extensive vocabulary, can identify her alphabets, numbers, shapes, colors, animals. A big plus is that my daughter knows a ton of bible songs and stories. We are soon expecting our second child and we are extremely excited about having Ms. Makenya as a teacher again. Ms. Makenya is great in nursery 2 - she really gets to know the families and encourages her children to develop their gross motor skills. Ms. Erica is a great director. She is very approachable, helpful and catering to her parents and children. She has created a christian enrichment that exposes the children to a variety of different things hrough physical activities, the arts and music, foreign language, Healthy and safe lifestyles activities. Did I forget breakfast for parents every morning, dry cleaning services, and family dinner once a month!!!

Holly Tree has been a blessing to my family and I am so thankful that we found this school. I did a lot of research before my son was born and there are a lot of great schools in the area. However, having a Christian based curriculum was very important to me without wanting to sacrifice his education in a full time setting. My son started at 4 months and is now almost 2. He is thriving and loves going to school every day. As a mom, it helps me immensely to know that not only is my son learning a great deal, hes having fun and making friends. The previous director, Erica was fantastic and the new director, Tia has been a wonderful addition (the co-director, Jennifer is great, as well!). My son is currently in Ms. Aprils class and she is wonderful. Being a teacher is truly a calling and Ms. April has the gift! She is patient, knowledgeable and caring. My son wakes up every day talking about her! Holly Tree works hard at providing a well rounded curriculum including music, sciences, nature, art, reading, etc. They provide breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack every day and have been wonderful at accommodating my sons restricted diet. Of course, no place is ever perfect but they work hard at being transparent in communication and constantly improving and adding new programs/events. Choosing the right school for your child is a HUGE decision and I highly recommend Holly Tree!
