Joining our program.
Small Wonders Nursery School operates on a first-come, first-served basis depending upon availability of spaces and classroom scheduling. Please call for availability. We do offer a waiting list if space is not immediately available. A non-refundable $45.00 application/enrollment fee secures an offer for the next available opening in the appropriate age grouping/classroom. This fee is required with all applications (waiting list or enrollment). Applying as soon as you know you will need care is encouraged.
Before enrollment, parents/guardians must complete an application packet, attend an orientation visit, and tour the center. SWNS's admission policy does require full immunizations and a current Department of Health Certificate of Immunization (TWIS form) must be presented prior to admission (or at two months of age if admitted younger).
To schedule a tour, or for more information, please use the contact us section on the home page or call our office at 865-457-5815.
Tuition and fees
Our rates are comparable to other quality childcare centers in town. Tuition rates are set to provide exceptional education and recruit qualified and motivated teachers.

Payments can be made through the Brightwheel app, or through our cash/check drop box located in the lobby.
