Our Story

At Keystone, we aim to set the New Standard in Learning and Child Care

We are privately owned and our goal is a simple one….treat every child as if they were our own. We do this by raising the bar for excellence in everything we do. We offer exceptional care while ensuring a strong curriculum throughout every step of your child’s journey.

Each child begins in an atmosphere of support, encouragement, and direction while learning how to become a well-adjusted, responsible, joyful individual who can serve as a role-model for their peers.

Our core non-denominational Christian values and emphasis on Character Development, accompanied by our dedicated and nurturing teaching staff, differentiates our center from the competition.

"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." 
- Proverbs 22:6

AMANDA HUNTER

Executive Director

Amanda is a native of Gallatin where she grew up and currently resides.  She graduated from the University of TN at Knoxville, with a bachelor’s degree in Speech Pathology, and a minor in Psychology.  After graduating college, Amanda began working for the State of TN, Department of Human Services where she dedicated over 19 years of service with the Child and Adult Care Licensing division.  She began as a Child Care Program Evaluator assisting agencies in Sumner County to obtain licensure.  She also monitored those licensed agencies for health and safety compliance in accordance with Tennessee Rules and Regulations.  Amanda later obtained the role as Licensing Supervisor where she was responsible for mentoring Program Evaluators as well as issuing childcare licenses for agencies in Sumner and Davidson Counties.  Adhering to the State of TN childcare licensing standards is extremely important to Amanda as she strives to create an agency that is safe, inviting and of the highest quality.  

Amanda enjoys attending church, watching her teenage son’s baseball games, cheering for her alma mater, TN Vols, spending time with family, her fiancé, and 3-year-old Goldendoodle, Knox.

Colleen Walters

Program Coordinator

Keystone childcare has been such a blessing. My son had a bad experience at a previous daycare and was terrified. It only took one week at Keystone and my son was running through the doors to his teachers and forgetting to even tell me bye. He has grown so much developmentally since starting at keystone and loves going to school everyday.”
