Nest at Anderson Mill

We are beyond grateful for our experience at The Nest! The care, dedication, and intentionality of the teachers have made such a lasting impact on our son. He has absolutely thrived here—potty trained at 1.5, speaking in multi-word sentences before 2, and growing into a confident leader in his classroom.

The environment is nurturing, structured, and joyful, with teachers who truly see each child and meet them where they are. The owner is incredibly invested and present—her passion for Montessori and early childhood development shines through in everything she does.

We’ve watched our son flourish socially, emotionally, and academically, and we credit so much of that to this school. It's a special place, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly!

We absolutely love The Nest! Our daughter is thriving and we couldn’t be more grateful. All of the staff are very attentive and caring. Highly recommend!

As a parent and also as a child development professional who has worked in and with schools for over 20 years, The Nest leadership and their wonderful staff have far exceeded our expectations!
In my opinion, the thing that sets The Nest apart from other schools is that the Owner/ Director is hands on and truly cares about every person in the building – from kids to teachers to parents.

Prior to joining The Nest, our daughter was at a traditional daycare/ preschool where we had experienced frequent staff turnover and poor school communication. This created a school community that was unpredictable and stressful and we knew that our daughter needed a school that provided a caring and consistent environment. We had watched The Nest being built and had heard nothing but positive reviews. When we toured with Ms Shavonda, her gentle child centered approach put our minds...

The staff and owners here are great! Communication has been good since my son started and I appreciate the attentiveness to detail. My son loves his teacher Ms. Stephanie and enjoys his classmates and comes home a happy boy.

Our daughter has been attending The Nest for over a month now and there are not enough words to say how amazing the team is here! Her teachers, Ms Mandy and Ms Priscilla are more than we could have asked for!! They are so communicative and responsive and it’s obvious how much they care for our daughter. They make us feel so comfortable and confident that our daughter is getting the best care. The director Tiffany is also amazing! She’s attentive and very hands on. She was so supportive when we transitioned into child care for our daughter and we couldn’t be more thankful. We would recommend The Nest 100 times over 😊

This school has been truly life changing for my family.

Both of my children have ADHD, and my son has Autism. We have had horriable experiences in public school, and other montessori schools.

I was almost about to give up and just homeschool them and figure out finances later.

And then we were blessed with finding this school via recommendation from other parents whom has a great experience here.

Both of my kids have absolutely thrived here. The teachers and admin staff have gone above and beyond for my children, meeting them where they are and guiding them into wonderful directions.

I would recommend this school to ANYONE, because I truly think this school values each child as a individual and helps them blossom into their full potential.

My daughter has attended the Nest at Anderson Mill since last October. We were looking for more than what we were experiencing at her previous school. She has blossomed since being here. At her previous school, we dropped her at the front door and got zero communication other than a parent teacher conference 2x a year and it would just be “she’s doing great!” and that’s it. Here at the Nest, we get great communication, updates, photos, and during our conference Ms. Tiffany spent a solid hour talking to us about my kiddo’s skills, personality, areas to focus on, and I really feel like she genuinely cares about my child’s growth. The parents have a WhatsApp group and organize play dates and events outside of school. The school throws wonderful events and has a very “open door” policy, which helps build community. It feels like the teachers here really enjoy their jobs and care about the...

My child has received the right attention and respect for the first time at The Nest, a home for caring and support.

To make a long story short, my child is a special needs child and Jenn is my guide to The Nest. Shovanda and her team are offering support in every way, like I had nothing else to do until that.

The Nest team had high expectations for a classroom that caters to special needs and designed it accordingly.

I have a sense of being heard and being addressed our needs, as well as being a great place to learn.

My prayer is that God will continue to bless The Nest team, giving them the strength to continually improve and expand their branches.

My definition of this team is 'Incredible'.

The Nest is more than just a stellar Montessori school. The faculty and staff truly care about each student and his or her family, creating a family atmosphere that encourages open communication. The care for the children extends outside of the classroom, with fun, well-planned events like the Fall Festival, which further creates a sense of a true community. The incorporation of live animals, such as rabbits and guinea pigs, into many of the classrooms is unique and is yet another reason our child is excited to attend each day. Highly recommend The Nest!
