You would think this would lead to the staff being on their best behavior; however, within our first two weeks there, we saw 4 occasions where the staff handled the children roughly. The final straw was when I saw my 1.5 year old daughter's teacher lift her up off the ground by her right arm aggressively, yank, and move her forcefully from one area to another for not carrying her own water cup. When we brought up our concerns to the director and the owner they said they would use this incident as a "teachable moment" and her teacher would get "remedial training". Did I mention she is 1.5 years old? My daughter, not the teacher, though that might be confusing because why would a fully grown adult get physically aggressive with a small child? Obviously we decided not to continue sending our daughter to this facility. The owner declined to give a full refund but did say they would not charge us fees for pulling out our child on short notice. In the end we reminded the owner that the safety of our daughter is not a "teachable moment". Do not send your child here if you agree. Zero stars.

All three of our kids progressed through classes offered at Kiddie Academy of West Cary. Our…read moreyoungest started in the infants' room and is just now graduating to enter kindergarten. The center is bright, open, and welcoming with a happy, cheerful atmosphere that's comforting to both kids and parents. We've absolutely loved the teachers - it's been great to see the true care, concern, and commitment they have for our kids. We love that staff turnover is low and the personal relationships the management and teachers develop with kids and parents allows for easy and quick communication. Our kids have really enjoyed Wednesday Spanish classes, the special activities like puppet shows, dance classes, musicians, and science experiments. In the summers, our kids have enjoyed playing on their splash pad on Fridays and watching veggies grow in the raised bed garden in the back. We love that Kiddie Academy of West Cary has received national recognition from the Kiddie Academy franchise - even with more than 200 locations across the country, this branch's director and teachers have won national awards. We'll really miss everyone at the center once our youngest leaves next month.

There are so many great things to say about Kiddie Academy of West Cary, I'm not sure where to…read morebegin! My son started in the infant classroom about 4 years ago and we now have all 3 of our children enrolled on a full-time basis. We are pretty particular about things (I can totally picture the staff chuckling as they read this! :), so having all of our kids enrolled here is saying A LOT! We definitely had many options when it came to childcare, but by far, this was the best choice for our family. Each day, as we walk through the doors, we are always warmly greeted with smiles and by our first names. The level of transparency and communication has always made us feel at ease and the best part is receiving all the pictures/videos of our kids' smiley faces while they are having a dance party, playing with instruments during music, learning new words and songs in Spanish, playing soccer or just having a blast with their best buds. We also enjoy being able to check-in on the camera feed when we are missing them during our busy work day. The teachers are beyond amazing... fun, creative, loving, the list goes on... and they won't ever hesitate to go the extra mile for their students! We've seen so much growth in our children, both on a social and academic level and I know for sure we owe a lot of it to the care and education they are receiving at KA. We also found that the administration's willingness to be flexible and accommodating to our specific needs to be invaluable. If you are looking for a well rounded pre-school with exceptional teachers, competent and involved admin team, and an environment where your little one(s) can have fun and thrive, look no further! Special shoutouts to the awesome owners, Deepak and Taisha - Thank you for creating a haven where our kids can feel safe and right at home! Ms. Christina, Ms.Tracy, Ms. Meredith, Ms. Kathy and all of the wonderful teachers at KA - You are an absolute DREAM TEAM, thank you for all that you do and for loving the kids like they are your own!

She loves going to school and is always greeted as well as I am with a hello from the director and assistant director every morning. I am so glad that we found this school for our daughter. She is now 4 and we are looking forward to having her attend their private kindergarten program in the fall. Great job Grove School!! My daughter is now in 2nd grade and has surpassed all reading goals every year since Kindergarten. I give all credit to The Grove School. She loves reading and math. I recommend this school to anyone who really wants to see their child succeed in school.

They may not have all the bells and whistles of other daycares, but that's okay because they have the important things. The meals are a culinary masterpiece--everyone comments that our daughter is a great eater and Sounds and Colors plays a major part in that. Also, every one there knows you. The director, Anne, is fantastic! She recognizes your car as soon as you pull in. She is communicative if your child is having an off day--she and the teachers have been the catalyst to scheduling a few doctors appointments. (Thanks for catching those ear infections early!) I love the parent-teacher conferences and the crafts. You can't go wrong with the family feel of Sounds & Colors.

In the morning I tell her it is time for school and she grabs her coat and runs for the door yelling "SCHOOL!" I am so happy at how excited she is to go every day. The teachers are loving and really care about the students. They communicate regularly about how she is progressing - from daily chats, the monthly classroom letters, the live video feed, to the website and updates on menus and activities. The teachers and staff make the day both fun and full of learning. I'm amazed at how much she learns every day. The owner is on site daily so this isn't a corporate entity, but rather real and loving people who make my daughter very happy. I would very highly recommend Carolina Kids Academy to anyone needing childcare.

Sterling is an exceptional school for academics and quality of day to day learning experiences for children. it performs in the top of NC schools. My children's teachers are nurturing and pedagogically skilled. Independence is facilitated in children, curiosity is valued, opportunities for practice to master content are a priority and drive achievement. Montessori pedagogy supports engaging teaching and learning based in the ways children actually developmentally acquire knowledge. Parents are involved, classrooms are beautiful, well resourced and organized. It's a healthy learning environment (better than most) and I am saying this from being in more than my share of schools on the east coast for over a decade.

Pro: - Cameras -…read moreFacility has a splash pad for kids during the summer Cons: - Some mornings when I came in there was no front desk staff or anyone in the office - Advertised grandparents day, and brought my sons grandparent in and they didn't have anything for grandparents when they came in. Later on that day they took a photo of my son making a card for grandparents and posted it on their social media page saying that the kids celebrated. - Staff makes inappropriate recommendations for child evaluations. My son was 2 years old and they said he was having behavioral issues (mind you we just switched day cares 2 mos ago and he had a little brother) and they recommended us to project enlightenment for a behavioral evaluation in which we contacted and realized he was too young (ages 3+ is project enlightenment)

Absolutely no respect for parents and absolutely no consideration for parents and their requests. Finally they are charging me an additional week's fee for a mistake that they did. The worst part is the way they treated me when I called and asked about this.  These people are unethical, dont know how I trusted my kid with these people for years.

My child is still in the youngest class for now, but every staff member knows her by name and compliments her constantly. The staff is super sweet and nurturing, and we love the owners and director! I was referred here by a friend who's daughter has been here for years, and I'm so thankful for the recommendation. It's a great location on 55 in Cary near High House. And I love it because it's a 5 star school, but you can tell the children are there to be children and to have fun, while learning and being in a safe and clean environment. While we were searching for day cares, I kept touring all the corporately owned places like Primrose and Bright Horizons, you can tell they look good on paper, but the staff doesn't seem to work there because they're passionate about it. It's just a job to them. I love that Bright Beginnings is a smaller ratio classrooms, family owned by educators, conveniently located, and lastly SAFE school for my child. We will be here until Kindergarten!
