The Village Raising Knoxville’s Next Big Dreamers
If you’ve ever tried to convince a three-year-old to take a nap, you know it takes patience, strategy, and maybe a little luck. At Tullabee Learning Academy in Knoxville, that same energy is channeled into something beautiful: helping children grow, learn, and love every step of the way. Designed for little ones from six weeks to five years old, Tullabee is a bright, joyful space where curiosity is celebrated and every day brings a new discovery. From the cozy infant corners to the bustling preschool rooms, it’s a place built to spark imagination and inspire wonder.
Each classroom has its own personality, modeled after parts of a small town. There’s a Bakery, a Post Office, and even a Farmer’s Market, turning each day into an adventure filled with learning and laughter. Teachers at Tullabee aren’t just following a script…they create custom lessons that fit each child’s needs while following the Tennessee Early Learning Development Standards (TNELDS), with a strong emphasis on purposeful play. Play isn’t an afterthought here; it’s the foundation. Whether it’s a finger-painting masterpiece or a pretend trip to the Post Office, every moment is designed with purpose, creativity, and care.
That dedication to creating a true “village” experience is what earned Tullabee Learning Academy a 2025 Best of Tennessee Regional Award. But to the families who walk through the doors each morning, the award just confirms what they already know: this is a special place. “It takes a village” isn’t just the school’s slogan…it’s their way of life. At Tullabee, children are encouraged to explore, parents are supported, and teachers are celebrated. Together, they’re building something far bigger than a school. They’re building community, joy, and the kind of childhood memories that last long after naptime ends.
