Loving childcare, preschool, and a small private kindergarten for children 12 months through 5th grade — the way early learning should feel.
Children are grouped by age in their own classroom, with activities designed to fit exactly where they are — socially, creatively, and academically.
Gentle, nurturing full-time care in a safe, cozy room built for our youngest learners.
Curiosity in motion. Hands-on play that builds language, movement, and early social skills.
Group social skills and early academics through creative thinking and problem-solving. (Must be potty trained.)
Kindergarten readiness that local teachers notice — confident, prepared children ready for what's next.
Care around the school day for Northeast, Glenellen & Oakland families — plus summer day camp with an onsite swimming pool.
A small, certified private kindergarten — just 14 students, one-on-one attention. See details →
We use developmentally appropriate, hands-on curriculums for children 18 months through pre-K, built around weekly and monthly themes. Classrooms are arranged as learning centers, so children can choose and explore at their own pace, with a healthy balance of teacher-guided and child-led activities.
The goal is simple: children who walk into kindergarten confident and prepared. Local public-school teachers regularly tell us how ready our children are on day one.
From academics to karate, here's what's woven into life at The Settlement.
A Tennessee-certified classroom capped at 14 students — compared to 25+ in a typical public class — so every child learns at their own pace.
A Tennessee Department of Education certified program — following the same guidance the state sets for city and private schools.
Our lead teachers and directors average over ten years here — your child grows up with people who stay.
Strict, reviewable safety policies, CPR & first-aid certified staff, and nutritious meals & snacks every day.

I am currently a Montgomery County educator, and I can attest to the fact that children who attend The Settlement come to Kindergarten more than ready. Settlement students are not only academically, but also socially prepared to begin their school careers.
— A Montgomery County educatorMy children have thrived in the loving and nurturing environment The Settlement provides. I will be sad when our preschool years are over, but proud of the fact that my children have a head start by attending a top-notch child care center. I highly recommend The Settlement.
