Our story
Little hands, big hearts, since 1994.
Miss Wanda started with a simple belief: every child deserves to feel loved, seen, and celebrated. Thirty years later, that belief hasn't changed one bit.
A place built on love, not just logistics.
Miss Wanda set out to create the kind of place she wished existed for families in East Nashville: warm, personal, and built on genuine care for every child.
Today, that vision lives in every room — from the way Miss Wanda greets each child by name to the colorful, active spaces where they learn and grow. Every child is known. Every family is part of our community.
