Savanna - 6850 Gaylord Parkway

Our experience with Savanna has been nothing short of incredible. From the very beginning, what stood out most was the truly amazing and supportive community. The teachers and staff create an environment that feels warm, welcoming, and deeply caring - not just for the children, but for the families as well. One of the most meaningful aspects for me personally has been the ability to stay closely connected to my daughters throughout the day. Having the opportunity to nurse and remain in close proximity while working has made a world of difference. There is a genuine sense of trust and partnership here. I always feel confident that my daughters are not only safe, but also nurtured, engaged, and encouraged to grow. The school fosters a strong sense of community where parents support one another, and that connection has made this experience even more special. I’m deeply grateful to be part of a place that understands and supports families in such a thoughtful, intentional way.

Savanna has been everything we hoped for in a daycare and preschool. After touring multiple facilities, we feel incredibly grateful to have found a place that offers such a high level of care, intention, nurture, and support. The teachers are consistently present, attentive, attuned and genuinely caring toward each child. They meet children where they are developmentally and build strong, meaningful bonds with them—something I believe is essential for fostering secure attachment in early childhood. Savanna has also become an extension of our family and our village. We’ve deeply appreciate the sense of community created for parents. From sharing resources, to opportunities to learn from live speakers who are experts in their fields, it’s clear that Savanna invests in the whole family—not just the children. The owners are also very hands-on and demonstrate a strong commitment to both the children and their staff. They actively support their team in and out of the classroom, which creates a positive and consistent environment for everyone. As a psychologist, I especially value their strong understanding of early childhood development. It’s evident they are informed by research and intentionally incorporate practices that support sensory play, movement, fine and gross motor development, and support the vestibular and proprioceptive systems. They also emphasis social-emotional learning and language development through connection and interaction with their teachers. Savanna offers the foundation that children need to succeed later on in life, and recognize the importance of keeping children in their hearts and bodies before pushing cognitive milestones. They have created a nurturing environment where children can be self-led, supported, and truly seen. I cannot recommend Savanna enough. We are so grateful to be part of such an incredible school and community.

Savanna was a wonderful experience for my son. The environment is calm, soothing, and non-stimulating, which really helped him feel comfortable and supported. The teachers are amazing—so patient and caring—and the student-to-teacher ratio is excellent, ensuring each child gets individual attention. We’re very grateful for our time at Savanna and highly recommend it to families looking for a nurturing early learning environment. 💛

May I say, firsthand experience of Savanna exceeds anything they post online. The beauty of the environment, the precise nature of the design choices, the integration of indoor and outdoor learning spaces. But most excellent is the care and nurture of all, child, adult, family, teachers, and community, this element of care turns out to be most powerful force at Savanna. Come and see!
