Welcome to the Roly Poly Classroom
The first year of life is filled with tender moments and big milestones. Our Roly Poly classroom offers calm, nurturing daycare in Tennessee, with teachers who respond to each baby’s unique needs.
There’s no rigid schedule here—infants rest, play, and explore at their own pace in a safe, shoe-free space that lets crawlers and early walkers move freely. Caring teachers provide comfort and encouragement, celebrating milestones with parents along the way.

Developmental Milestones Your Baby Will Be Working Toward
In our Roly Poly classroom, many babies are learning to:
Roll, sit-up, and crawl
Play games like pat-a-cake
Hold bottle or drink from a cup
Say first words like mama or dada
Most babies transition out of the Roly Poly classroom around 12 months, but every child grows at their own pace. We only move them up when they’re truly ready.
