Real readiness isn't about memorizing the alphabet early. It's about building the confidence, focus, and independence children need to thrive. That's exactly what Stonebrook is designed to do.
Our program aligns with the Tennessee Early Learning Developmental Standards, the state's framework for what young children should know and be able to do. It means you can trust that your child is building the right foundations at the right age.
At the same time, our Reggio Emilia influence embraces child-directed play as a natural and wonderful opportunity for learning. The result is the best of both worlds: real developmental readiness, delivered in a way that keeps children curious and eager to learn.

Our program aligns with the Tennessee Early Learning Developmental Standards, the state's framework for early childhood development, while blending them with our Reggio-inspired, play-based approach.
We develop programs around seven domains: cognitive, social-emotional, fine motor, gross motor, self-help, creative play, and language. Together, they form the foundation children need before kindergarten reading and writing.
