Honestly, if I didn't see the video of said child abuse I wouldn't have believed it. That teacher/floater was in most rooms including both of my kids' rooms. That teacher babysat a lot of families (even though that's not allowed) and even attended kid's birthday parties. Our kids' safe place was no longer safe. Downhill quality since we started in 2021. Leadership changed to an inexperienced under qualified people. Teacher turnover was insane which unfortunately is common in this industry and probably area. Leadership talked badly about parents to teachers. Leadership made teachers come in even if they were sick with the flu or other contagious illness. Not only was my kids' safety and health compromised but the curriculum was lacking. It was subpar babysitting. The last days I'd walk into one of my kid's room and it felt like a cartoon with paper airplanes flying across the room and kids not listening. One of my kids was bit multiple times in the 3 year old room and even 4 year old room. Discipline was lacking from teachers (and parents) Not sure how the franchise backs this location with pretty serious issues.

The director emailed me to say my children can't return due to our religious vaccination exemption, didn't bother to call or wait for me to pick up my sons to relay this message. I don't recall receiving this information prior to enrollment. The current director Erin is by fair the worst which trickles down to the employees. No empathy, fake professional & you can tell all the teachers are burnt out & underpaid from working there. Teachers yelling at kids, isolating children & antagonizing them due to their lack of training. I worked in childcare 10+ years before having children. My family owned daycares I know how things are supposed to run & operate. There is NO LOVE HERE. Just a brand & people looking for a stream of income. Invest your money for your family somewhere better. The owner should get a new director, it seems the center has had issues since fatmomma been there.

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!

With a recent change in directors there was a high turn over in teachers without notice. Giving 2 stars because there were some teachers we liked, and then they would leave to go to other centers. There was even a period through the summer where the Pre-K classroom has no AC for almost 2 weeks, and the temperature was sometimes over 75 degrees. The staff had no ETA on would it would be fixed. If your child has any special needs, the are centers in the area that cost more, but will accommodate. This center explicitly told us they were not "equipped" to deal with any special needs and that it was not a good fit. I agreed, it was not a good fit. We are now at Kids R Kids and are very happy.

Morrisville Creative Schools has gone downhill since we first started and I believe management (new…read moreDirector) has a lot to do with it! I can count on one hand how many times she spoke to us in the approx 1.5 years we attended. There was one particular instance where I felt the school cared more about themselves than my child. My daughter was in the Director's office with her teacher when she fell off a chair (I still don't know the truth about what actually happened) but that wasn't my biggest concern because she was okay. The issue was that the write up by the Director was initially one scribbled sentence I could barely read. I was angered and offended all at once. I never saw the Director so I passed on a message to have the incident report re written. Long story short, I had to send it back two more times before I received a copy that was the "truth" of my daughters fall. Now that my kids are no longer there, I am sharing this message to show that there is a lack of honesty and respect at Morrisville Creative Schools. I can attest to the other comment about the temperature in the one year old classroom because there were several days where the room was muggy and warm during drop off. There was ONE teacher that kept us at MCS who is headed out. She was absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!! My 3 year old was sounding out words and felt confident about reading. She incorporated "show and tell" so that the kids would be comfortable speaking in front of an audience. I can't speak enough about her! The turn over rate for kids and staff is increasing and I have no doubt that management plays a part in this. There needs to be some kind of training to help this school. Lastly, the cameras are a great asset. However, the system didn't work for us when we had a concern. We sat in the office with the Director for 1.5hrs for NOTHING because the records were not accurate and the cameras will only pick up 7 day's worth of footage (which includes weekends). I asked the owner to increase the amount of time of retrieval but I was not made aware that it was actually done. Good luck with this one!

The teachers are very kind and attentive to all the kids and have so many fun activities and themed things for them to do. The school also has large playground, excellent classroom facilities, camera access and fantastic activities.

I appreciate all the fun things they arrange for the kids and get them to try and experience.

Not only is the Director, Ms. Pegge, incredibly engaging and intentional in her time in the classroom and oversight of the programming, but the entire teaching staff is loving, responsive, and purposeful in all they do. We have felt sincerely welcomed and warmly embraced from our very first tour forward. The wonderful teachers nurture not only our son's process of learning, but our son himself. We love the collaboration we see in the learning process and that our little guy is growing in his awe of the world around him. He is constantly telling us all about the topics he's studying and is excited to show us the works he completes daily. He is developing authentic friendships and is growing in compassion for those around him. It has been a blessing to see him blossom this year. The only regret we have is that we didn't find the school sooner so that our older sons could have benefitted from this wonderful experience. We would absolutely give Montessori Creative Learning School ten stars if that were an option!

Disappointed with the level of service here. We had my infant daughter with primary beginnings for…read more3 months, throughout the time I don't think there were two weeks straight where they didn't request/require us to pick her up for signs of "illness", every time we would go to the doctor only to find out nothing was wrong. While I normally appreciate a cautious outlook on health, I can't quite shake the feeling that they knew that I was able to pick my daughter up so we were the first call when for whatever reason they needed children to go home early. I will say I enjoyed my daughter's teachers, they were always pleasant. Because of the teachers we were initially willing to overlook a few bumps in the road by making our position and what we expect clear. However, the business practices of the facility remained untenable. Even up to the point where we gave our notice, they cancelled the last week on us. If you plan on taking your child here, either have a really great PTO policy with your job, or keep another sitter on retainer. You will not be able to reliably take your child there and attend to your job.

When filing a formal complaint with the state AND speaking to the owner, both blew him off. When he asked the kids about it they told him the names of the other kids who have been abused by her.

This is completely unacceptable behavior and I really hope the people responsible are held accoubtable.

Unfortunately, things, finances, timing and needing care for three kids made it to where it didn't work out and we had to look elsewher. I was crushed because I was set on Knowledge Beginnings when I saw how well my boys did in the exploration visit. Life happened, and 7.5mo later I was desperately looking for daycare again and thought, let me just give them a call and give it a shot. Sure enough I was told they had a spot for all three of my kids and by the grace of God they were at Knowledge Beginnings 7 days later STABILITY! KB has given my children something they and I have desperately needed in our lives right now for personal reasons. They're happy there. That means the world to me because the last place they were at for only two months, I was desperate to get them out so much that I was nauseous everyday dropping them off. Hearing their cries and the things my six, almost 7yo daughter would tell me. Again I just cannot say enough about the care provided by KB for the whole family. I love their director Erica and assistant director Alex! They're both incredibly friendly and make you feel like you've been friends for two decades kind of friendly but still professional and uphold boundaries to ensure that all are treated the same. They really care about their students and families. The teachers are wonderful especially in keeping contact with us parents about any concerns or even kudos. We all have things going on in our lives at home but Knowledge Beginnings have given such a wonderful, safe, happy, structured, comforting and loving stable environment for my children and I'm so grateful. From Miss Barbara to the teachers and directors, you would be crazy not to enroll your children her!!!

I'm writing this review two years after my child attended this facility…read more I've come back to say that I can not recommend this business. We transferred our child to Bright Horizons when we first moved into the area. Our child had no issues at his previous daycare before coming to Bright Horizons. But our child was kicked out of Bright Horizons WITH NOT A SINGLE DAY TO TRANSITION TO ANOTHER DAYCARE OPTION because our 2 year old child who is diagnosed as mildly autistic liked to play with doors. My wife and I both work so this was a major issue for us. If that sounds reasonable to you then by all means, feel free to come to this place. Be aware that what happened to my family may happen to you. Most kids are not diagnosed with autism till they are older - like 3 or 4 years old so this businesses inability to cope may be a problem for you. To be blunt though, I don't think the issue was with our child. We found another daycare two blocks away on short notice who took our child and had absolutely no issue with them. They in fact offered to take them on a permanent basis after several weeks. We like the new place but decided to transferred to another daycare who supported special needs kids in Raleigh. Our child's new teacher loved our son so it all worked out for the best. To summarize: - Three schools had no issue with our child and this one throws him out with no ability to transition. - The staff that had an issue with my child are still showing up on their web site as of this posting. - The the level of empathy and professionalism demonstrated at this business is, in my opinion, lacking. Buyer beware.
