Happy Holler Circle

Being a part of Happy Holler Circle, and getting to work with Rebekah, has been such a joyful addition to our parenting journey! It's such a welcoming, supportive environment, and has been a great opportunity for meeting others who parent in a similar way. It's been very beneficial for helping our son feel more comfortable in social settings, and is helping to prepare him for future, more structured environments while he's also just having a great time.

We’ve been coming to Happy Holler for over two years. It has been the safe, constant drumbeat of my child’s infancy and childhood. Rebekah is about as gentle, loving, accepting, intuitive, and observant a presence as you can hope for in your child’s life. She’s been a patient guide and friend. The classroom has an ever-rotating collection of interesting and challenging Montessori toys. I didn’t necessarily join Happy Holler because we were invested in the Montessori way of learning, but after seeing my child grow up in it, I love that it teaches independent, deep play and exploration of interests and promotes peace and calm in the classroom. My toddler knows how to wait her turn and not to grab toys from others. Wherever we’re around other toddlers who haven’t been through Montessori I realize how amazing this is. I highly recommend both this program and working with Rebekah.

If you live in Knoxville and you have young children, or know that you will soon, don’t walk, RUN to Happy Holler Circle! I cannot stress enough how valuable of an asset this has been in my journey of child rearing! Rebekah is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and inclusive. She always has the answers! She has also created such a wonderful community of like minded caregivers. We have forged childhood and mamahood friendships that we couldn’t imagine life without. Come play with us!

Hands down the best thing to come out of the pandemic. As someone battling being SAHM, FTM, and single parent half the time in the midst of unprecedented times, this group has helped in so many ways - both me and my son. I can't recommend Rebekah and this group of parents enough.
