About Morning Star Child Development Center

Morning Star Child Development Center has served Knoxville families since 1990 from 10614 Flickenger Lane. The program is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, with teachers who observe what children are curious about and record their progress in photos, videos and notes. Classrooms run from infants and toddlers through preschool, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten, with after school care and summer camp for older children. The center is NAEYC accredited and keeps a waiting list that families can apply to. Parents describe low teacher turnover, after school care that stays open on public school holidays and half days, weekly field trips during summer camp, and an outdoor area with a playground, a sports field, a basketball court and a shallow pool. Rated 4.8 from 155 Google reviews, 146 of them five stars and 7 one star.
