She has learned so much throughout the years and have never had a single issue. If incidents happened, I was the first to know, and was notified within minutes of the situation occuring. If there was a sickness, I was notified of the illness and how many cases there are. They are very open and have always been very honest with me as a parent. My daughter sees them as family and has invited them to parties, family events, and gatherings. They have helped me raise my daughter and could not have picked a better center and group of ladies to help me.

Hello everyone, We…read moreare so thrilled to finally share our heartfelt experience with Growing Years Early Childcare Education Center in Burlington, NC. My wife and I are older parents--we had our first baby during the height of COVID. She's what you'd call a "COVID baby." Like many new parents, we were cautious, nervous, and eager to find a place that felt not only safe but nurturing. When our daughter started at Growing Years at just nine months old, we had no idea how deeply this center would impact our lives. From the very beginning, the love and care they poured into our daughter was unmistakable. This wasn't just a daycare--it was a second home. The staff caught her very first steps--a moment we'll never forget. They've been there through every milestone, and now, incredibly, she's about to graduate and head into elementary school. What sets Growing Years apart is something that's rare in childcare today: consistency and love. There's hardly any staff turnover here, and that's not a coincidence. The leadership takes care of their teachers and caregivers, and that care trickles down to every child who walks through their doors. The result? A team that's experienced, passionate, and truly connected to your child's development. As parents, security and communication were top priorities. Growing Years delivers on both. Their camera system allows you to check in any time, giving you peace of mind throughout the day. And when those inevitable bumps and scrapes happen (as they do with young kids), their communication is prompt and thoughtful. They'll call, email, and even sit down with you face-to-face to ensure you understand what happened and how it was handled. That level of transparency and compassion is unmatched. We now have two children at Growing Years. Our son currently attends, and he receives the same love, structure, and joyful learning experience that helped our daughter thrive. If you visit the center, stroll down the wall of fame--you'll find our daughter's photo there. It's not just a picture. It's a symbol of our family's deep connection to this place and its people. We wholeheartedly recommend Growing Years to any parent looking for a center rooted in compassion, high-quality education, and a true sense of community. This is more than a childcare center. This is the foundation for a lifetime of learning and love. With gratitude, The Tysons

I personally just do not think its safe for kids to be playing with a lot of other kids on the concrete area. The director was never friendly with our family - they have received a new one now and hopefully she will be better. BE aware that it is very expensive - you are looking at paying any where from 250 to 280 dollars a week. I am not sure it is worth that when most teachers just let the kids play all day vs teaching them something that will get them ready for Kindergarten.

After a lot of media attention related to day care issues all over the country and stories of…read morechildren being neglected/forgotten, I approached our day care options very carefully and cautiously. It is important to keep in mind that not everyone's experiences exemplify the all-around experience, and not every teacher is the same. The teachers in the classroom make a world of difference to the experience of the family entrusting them. With that said, we have been exceedingly fortunate to have had our nearly 2 year-old under the care of Ms. Ann, Ms. Kenisha, and Ms. Susan here. They have all shown what appears to be an honest interest and care for our child. They provide daily care sheets that let us know what he/she ate (of huge importance to me), how they engaged him/her 'academically' (at the toddler age, this would be like singing a certain song, learning about a certain color, working on please/thank you, etc.), diaper changes, naps, and communication to the parents if diapers or wipes are running low. It is an efficient system for communicating those things you are hoping your child is doing/eating/learning. We have popped in without notice on several occasions to really do our own form of 'random inspection,' if you will - really we wanted to verify that at random points midday that our child was being attended to as necessary, playing well, eating well, napping well, etc. So far each visit has been great and we have never experienced any issues with any of the staff that has cared for our child. The management has been wonderful as well. Ms. Stacey does a wonderful job of remembering you and your child's name, and any issues or questions with tuition, payments, general care questions that I have sent them via email have been responded to very promptly. You can research the facility/franchise online and see the technology available to the students. There's a great play town that the older kids get to take advantage of (our toddler is still too young at this point), there are two separate outdoor play areas complete with toys, slides, and ample room as well as seating and shade. They do apply sunblock to the kids, which is a nice touch. We have also been told that as our child gets older and moves up to the next class, they will work on potty training as well. We have seen our child's vocabulary and social skills absolutely BLOSSOM since we have started with this TLE. As I said, we have been so lucky to have the great teachers our child has right now. As our child grows and switches to another class, that story may or may not change, but I will update my review as necessary. For now, I am happy to report that we are extremely satisfied with the care, attention, and developmental/educational lessons that these caring teachers have provided for our child.

We have had a terrific experience at this daycare (TLE). Our daughter started at 13 weeks old…read more After the childcare situation we'd planned on since before she was born fell through at the last minute, I showed up at TLE a bit desperate. With three days left before I was supposed to start back at work, I count myself so lucky that they happened to have one spot open in the infant room! Ms. Regina in Infant Room B is a wonderful caregiver. She is always calm and steady, always positive and warm. Her classroom is peaceful, and the kiddos in there seem very content. I was worried that our daughter, who struggled with bottle feeding, would go hungry at daycare. Ms. Regina was willing to work with her and now our kiddo is happily taking five bottles a day. What's even more amazing is that, after I told Ms. Regina I was really struggling with missing my daughter while at work, she started writing extra notes in the daily report. In addition to knowing when my baby napped/ate/was changed, I get to read little details like, "She seems to be especially fond of one of the other babies in the room," or, "Today she smiled while her teacher held her up to the window and talked about the arrival of spring." Those little glimpses into her day show me that she's getting attention and love, and they make all the difference to my peace of mind. Overall, everyone at this center seems kind and sincere. While our daughter does spend some time in bouncy chairs (which is unavoidable when one person cares for multiple infants!), I was thrilled to see that she is more often being held or hanging out in a Boppy pillow on the floor while looking happily at the other babies. Ms. Wendi, the director, is very personable and patient with new parent concerns. She also called promptly on the two occasions that my daughter had an "incident" -- throwing up and getting a small scratch. This made me feel very secure that our kid was safe at TLE. Before enrolling, when I looked for reviews of this daycare online, I didn't find that many -- so I'm especially happy to add my opinion and say that I'd definitely recommend TLE to friends and would say it is worth every penny.

My daughter Hannah has been attending Legacy Academy since she was only 14 weeks old (Infant A),…read moreand she is now in the final classroom (4B) and will enroll in kindergarten August of 2025. My husband and I have had a great experience overall with all of Hannah's teachers going back to 2020 when her infant teachers made it easier for me to be confident that she was receiving wonderful care to now when Mr. Armando has been our favorite teacher for her yet. He is the assistant director but loves to work in the 4s too, so we have appreciated how much she learned from him when he was her teacher for a couple months last fall, and we are so glad he is currently covering while they look for a qualified replacement teacher after some recent turnover. Mr. Armando is kind and empathetic- he always treats the kids in his class well and is supportive to parents as well. My only complaint is that he is so great at his job that they keep pulling him out of the classroom because he is so good at his job as management too (and I just want Hannah to be lucky enough to have him be her full-time teacher). Mr. Armando is the best of the best! Wendy and Chris have treated Hannah so kindly over the years as well, and it's nice to know that the owners care about the students as well as their families. Hannah has loved so many of her teachers, and I wish that I could name them all, but I will settle for a few of her other top teachers in addition to Mr. Armando. She has loved Ms. Brooke (she always seemed to appreciate Hannah's quirky personality), Ms. Kat (they bonded over their shared love of Stitch), Ms. Arianne (so sweet with her and has always thought Hannah was funny), Ms. Lisa (has helped her grow in her writing skills and appreciates Hannah's chatty ways), Ms. Natalia (takes care of her at the end of the day and reads her all her favorite stories), and Ms. Riley (wrote Hannah the sweetest note about how much she enjoys taking care of her and coloring with her). I can never leave out one of the most important employees at Legacy in a review- Ms. Chari (the prep cook) has been with Legacy for over 3 years now, and she is amazing. She is so sweet and has such a warmth about her. Everyone in the building clearly loves her, and Hannah thinks she is the best. Hannah talks about Ms. Chari all the time at home, and it's so apparent how wonderful she is with her. I am getting reflective here at the beginning of her final year of preschool, and I am so grateful to everyone at Legacy who has helped us have such a great experience for our daughter. I highly recommend it to anyone in the Chapel Hill, Durham area (we drive 30 minutes from Graham, and it's worth it- the preschools in Graham are not as high quality as Legacy).

We immediately pulled our kids once we realized what was happening. They are now in a daycare which…read morehas not given us any similar complaints. Things seemed well for about a year here until my oldest son moved up a classroom. He was sad, a lot, which I assumed was from adjusting. (He also picked up the phrase "crying brat"). Immediately a surge of complaints came home every day. He was "impossible" to potty train, he was frustrating to deal with, he didn't nap long enough, etc. Never a positive. I wrote the teacher a long note trying to see what ways I could help. He's an extremely friendly kid and I didn't understand what was happening...I took their suggestions. Both my husband and I noticed negative interactions when my son was crying in the room...As though they were disgusted. We would stay behind and watch for a minute, and became concerned. I did everything I could to figure out what they were talking about and how I could help. Then they neglected diaper changes...Twice I picked my son up in the EXACT SAME diaper I dropped him off in. I have several witnesses to this, including Legacy staff. Diapers which fell apart into yellow slush when you tried to take their pants off. Almost immediately after finding this, the director spoke to me in her office in a very condescending way. She said she didn't know what to do anymore about my son, and that we should "give him rules and boundaries" (We are BIG on that at home) and "teach him not to run away". And said he had ran off the property into the parking lot. The day before. They hid it from me until then. He could have been hit by a car or gotten lost. She then described what she believed were "sensory issues" and said they couldn't help him anymore. I asked her if she meant autism...She said, maybe. I took him to two different pediatricians to get this assessed, both of which said there were not any flags for any disorders. The second asked me not to take this childcare center seriously. I'm still angry about this. My son was obviously running and not cooperating after months of mistreatment. They blamed us for the 3's teacher departure as well as the unhappiness of other staff who stepped in. Not any apologies or acknowledgement for the pain we went through, only pleasant when we withdrew. I still have nightmares about what he went through. It's hard to write this review because there actually are very good staff at Legacy, particularly the pre-K and infant rooms. But due to high turnover in some rooms, desperate hires, and the complete lack of responsibility or empathy from the Owner, I would never recommend this place.

Every teacher is kind, patient, and genuinely happy to see her, and that means the world to us.

After joining OCH, I fell in love with the school and the care the teachers provide my kids. OCH is a smaller center and the teacher to student ratios are small which really allows the teachers to give the kids the love and attention they need throughout the day to feel welcome and regulated. OCH was recently re-certified as a 5 star center which goes beyond what I thought a daycare could provide! I love to see the creative way they teach the kids the weekly topics vs. worksheets or teacher curated crafts. They learn through play and the teachers work on social emotional learning and helping the kids learn how to regulate when they are upset. Additionally, it is a co-op daycare, meaning the parents have active involvement in the success of the school. We moved to the area in 2023, and I realized almost all of our friends are parents from the daycare. Listening to other parents talk yesterday about not having "mom friends," I mentioned all my mom friends are from our daycare and my friend replied: "that's because your daycare encourages parents to get to know each other! Mine is just drop him off, see you later." She's right - we have monthly get togethers with the other parents and kids and it's a great way to make new parent friends, which can be so hard these days. All of that is to say, we love OCH and I wouldn't consider sending my kids elsewhere.
