From the very beginning, the teachers and staff…read morehave created a warm, nurturing, and welcoming environment where our children have truly thrived. After moving from NJ we were in search of school here in NC that would be like a second home to our children. The teachers are exceptional--not only are they caring and dedicated, but their guidance, support, and expertise have meant so much to our family. We trust and appreciate their advice and the positive influence they have had on our children's growth, both academically and personally. The care that each teacher provided not only to our children but to us parents, as well, is priceless. The before and aftercare program has been a tremendous benefit for our family. It's reliable, well-organized, and provides a safe, engaging environment where our children are excited to spend time each day. What makes this school so special is its commitment to teaching strong principles and values. Kindness, respect, responsibility, and compassion are woven into everything they do, helping children build not only academic skills but also strong character. We couldn't be happier with our experience and wholeheartedly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a place where their child will be loved, encouraged, and inspired every day.

Our four-year-old daughter has attended Magnolia Montessori Academy for the last year. We can't…read morerecommend them highly enough. The curriculum has been outstanding and our daughter frequently comes home talking about what she learned that day. From lessons in sharing, English, math, and simply being a citizen of the world Magnolia has done a great job. Their facility is full of fun and educational materials. Every inch is meaningful utilized to spark learning and play. The team is top notch and has made our child feel seen, loved, and nurtured. We consider Ms. Marie and MS. Shelley to be superb educators and people we trust our daughter with. They are thoughtful, helpful, and kind. We visited several preschool options in Holly Springs and I can say we made a great choice. If you're interested in an excellent Montessori program in Holly Springs check them out!

Primrose is one of those schools where front desk employees will say good morning to you when you walk in and wish you a wonderful day as you leave. You will see smiling faces in the hallways. When you walk in the hallway and peak into rooms, in one classroom you will observe teachers caring for infants with passion, in another room, there is a teacher reading a story with all the little ones on her lap, and if timing is right you will occasionally smell the yummy breakfast chef is cooking up in the kitchen. As for my son's and our family's personal experience with his classroom, we feel absolutely blessed and 100% grateful for his teachers and all the love, care, education, and structure they provide. It's a wonderful positive and well-balanced environment in which I believe every child is given the ability to grow and succeed. Look no further. Thank you Primrose and entire staff for all that you do!

To be quite honest my child's experience here has left me with a huge amount of guilt for leaving…read moreher here. Two years ago we moved from the Midwest to holly springs. I was eager to get our 3 year old in a program to give her some structure but also a a sense of family. At first glance primrose is elegant. I was impresses by the classical music and clean hardwood floors. I was sold! My daughter was equally as excited as I was for her to start. The first couple days my kiddo came home crying. She mentioned the boys were hitting her. I really just thought maybe she had to get used to going and maybe she was looking too much into horse play. I went early one day to pick her up and saw a very young teacher sitting with her hand on her chin as though she was bored and my kid was half naked in the bathroom with another little girl. When the teacher saw me she perked up and yelled my daughters name to hurry up as if she was doing something wrong. I was annoyed but really gave her the benefit of the doubt. Again my daughter would come home crying. Said her teachers would get mad and not tell the boys to stop hitting. It wasn't until I finally spoke with the teacher that really solidified my feelings. She had to be 20 years old which u wouldn't mind ha she not completely dismissed by my concerns and blankly stared at my questions. Her assistant was equally as vacant but more so had a grudge that I would even begin to question their supervision. As I was chatting with her she yelled in to another kiddo " did I tell you you could climb up the slide..... No!". She was clearly not used to speaking to 3 year olds in a way to discipline but also not break their little spirits. I ended up taking my daughter out and it wasn't until I enrolled her in a good preschool had a realized how amazing her experience could be! We have been at her preschool for 3 years and are so happy. I'm not very religious but the local church preschools love our kids while teaching them lessons. My daughter is ready for kindergarten and loves school. Please read this and know I shared this to save other kids from a negative experience. My heart aches that I even kept my child in this setting. She reminds me to this day " remember when I went to that bad preschool and you made me go?".. I thought I was doing the right thing and in retrospect I should have listened to my child:(

After experiencing several schools and being…read morevery selective about where we place our children, we can confidently say this is an exceptional daycare. The school is clean, welcoming, communicative, and truly puts children and families first. The teachers are caring, dedicated, and focused on creating a positive learning environment where kids can thrive. Dominic and Jeen's passion for early childhood education is evident in everything they do. Their years of training, expertise, and commitment to excellence have created a culture built on integrity, learning, and genuine care for both children and staff. We always feel informed, supported, and confident that our children are receiving the best care possible. We highly recommend Kiddie Academy of Holly Springs to any family looking for a nurturing, high-quality childcare experience.

This is what I wrote!…read more I wanted to take a moment to share my experience as an employee of Kiddie Academy of Holly Springs. After 26 years of working in childcare and serving in several schools and daycare centers, I can honestly say that Kiddie Academy of Holly Springs has been one of the best facilities I have ever worked for as an educator. The academy is clean, welcoming, and family-oriented. The staff genuinely care about the children, families, and one another. We work together with compassion, professionalism, and a shared commitment to providing the best possible experience for every child in our care. The owners have always been loving, understanding, and dedicated to meeting the needs of families while maintaining their top priorities: the safety, well-being, and development of the children. Like any business, it is impossible to satisfy every single person all the time, and there will always be individuals who disagree with decisions or policies. After reading some recent reviews, I felt compelled to share my perspective as someone who has personally witnessed many of the situations being discussed. I have worked at Kiddie Academy for over a year and have seen firsthand the efforts the owners make to communicate with families, accommodate concerns, and create a positive environment. While no one is perfect, they consistently strive to do what is best for the children and the academy. Regarding the holiday events and classroom celebrations that were mentioned in some reviews, I would like to clarify that I am the event planner for many of these activities. Any requests for snacks, treats, or participation items are completely voluntary and are designed to create fun, memorable experiences for the children. Parents are never required to contribute. In fact, the owners frequently provide many of the supplies, treats, decorations, and materials themselves. These celebrations are created because we love our students and enjoy seeing them excited and engaged. Teachers often contribute their own time and resources simply because we care deeply about the children. As someone who works inside the academy every day, I can confidently say that the children are loved, cared for, and treated with kindness and respect. The staff work hard to create a safe, nurturing, and educational environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. For any parent who is considering enrolling their child, I encourage you to visit the academy and see it for yourself. Talk with the staff, observe the environment, and experience the warm atmosphere firsthand. I believe you will quickly see why so many families trust us with their children. On a personal note, I love working here so much that I commute from Fayetteville every day--a drive of approximately an hour and a half each way. That alone speaks volumes about how much I value this academy, the children, and the people I work alongside. I am proud to be a part of the Kiddie Academy of Holly Springs family and grateful for the opportunity to serve the children and families in our community.

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!

When we toured facilities a few years back, that was the first thing I noticed and it has not stopped impressing me since. I cannot imagine the amount of cleaning they have to do to keep up with so many kiddos. The food they serve is nutritious and good options. My child is a very good eater in general, but would be good for picky eaters too. The program is amazing- my daughter is 5 and knows a ton of words in Spanish as well as coming into her own with math and english skills. The teachers are incredibly warm and caring and I know that she is so loved when she is there. Additionally, it is actually secular- no prayers before meals which is a nice for people who may not be sure which path they plan to send their children on from a religious perspective. They are very respectful of parents views, and have a wonderful app to allow parents to follow along with the curriculum. I see the comment below about the runny nose thing- I have a kid with allergies and this has not proven to be a problem for us as she wipes her own nose- perhaps it just needs to be discussed better? Their covid protocols have been fantastic and not a single case in the school throughout the pandemic. I look forward to enrolling our second child in year and change when he is ready! Tuition is standard for the area, and you for sure get what you pay for!

They no…read morelonger let children come to school with just a runny nose because it's a symptom of "COVID". I took him to the doctor and they confirmed that it was in fact allergy related. Even with a doctor note stating that they still would not allow my son to return. He has no fever or cough. It's just a runny nose due to allergies. But they still expect you to pay the high tuition. If I'm paying for childcare but they won't take my son then I have no child care. I can't go to work because I have to watch my toddler. How can They expect you to pay the tuition? I feel many parents are going to face challenges with these new policies. Science Studies have shown that children are not affected like adults are with COVID. We're going into the fall which is cold season and I don't think I'm going to be the only parent who pulls their child out of this program since you will be paying for childcare but really not having any at all. Again, this school is great but I need dependability for my childcare. Not wanting to take a child because they have a runny nose is a bit ridiculous. My son doesn't have Covid. He's an active toddler who has allergies that cause his nose to run. Really unhappy that the director of this daycare couldn't work with me on finding a solution that would have kept my son in.
