As a parent, writing this review breaks my heart--but I feel it's important to speak up to protect…read moreother families from what I experienced at Highland Learning Center. What I witnessed there was deeply concerning and not at all what you would expect from a place entrusted with the care and development of children. The management is extremely poor and disorganized, with little to no transparency or accountability. Communication with parents is inconsistent at best and often dismissive when concerns are raised. Many of the staff members are unqualified and unprepared to properly care for children to support their learning, which creates an unsafe and chaotic environment. What's most troubling is that the atmosphere does not promote learning, growth, or emotional safety. The children are not engaged in meaningful educational activities, and there seems to be very little curriculum guiding their day. I personally never felt that my child was in a setting that prioritized true education or individualized attention. Even more alarming, the director has made comments that overstep professional boundaries--discussing or suggesting potential medical or behavioral "diagnoses" for children, despite having no medical background or qualifications to do so. This kind of behavior is not only inappropriate but dangerous, and it reflects an unacceptable lack of professional judgment and training. I do not feel that Highland Learning Center is a safe or nurturing place for children, and I would strongly urge other parents to explore other options--regardless of what the school's ratings might say. No rating can make up for the lack of qualified leadership, poor communication, and unsafe environment that I and other families have experienced.

This center is by far the best daycare center I've ever experienced. I enrolled my son a few months…read moreago terrified of putting him in a daycare center. As soon as I walked in, I felt so much comfort and love. My son was in nursery one. The wonderful women in that classroom have filled not only my hearts but every single member in our family. This week is our last week, as we are moving-we all welled up with tears. This center treats our family as theirs. I'm so incredibly saddened that we are leaving but I will forever be grateful for the tender care and love we have received. My son was always so eager and excited walking into those doors. I'm crying as I am writing this. Thank you again! You truly are the definition of Gods Love

I have never in my life felt so bad for my child before.Today was my three year olds first day and…read morehe was soo excited about going to a new daycare.Honestly I wouldn't recommend this daycare to anyone.My child ran down the hall (it was his first time being in this daycare).My child was told that he was not a good fit for this day care in front of my grandmother.After speaking to the director on the phone she explained that my son was hugging the teacher and students and that was not acceptable.I will never make my child fell bad for being a nice child.This day care is a joke to me now.I read another post about a child being racially profiled and I think the same happened to my beautiful boy.This daycare should be ashamed of how my son was treated .I read the handbook the daycare gave me and this was not followed.

The staff is very friendly- it's a shame they are understaffed. It took me 3 months to realize the…read morestaff/student ratios were questionable (rooms are often combined right up to the 1:15 that NC allows, especially in the mornings) and my 1 year old never really adjusted to being dropped off in a different room with different teachers each day. Other things to ask about in your tour: additional fees for seasonal activities ($75 "summer fee", $150 "fall fee"), student staff ratio (ask questions when they cite 1:8!), and menu substitutions (spoiler alert: it's always pop tarts). If your little one is small, ask about frequency of diaper changes- the overcrowding sadly leads to soaking wet diapers and, for us, severe rashes. Plan your visit around 8 am to see exactly what I mean about combined rooms and questionable ratios. I was attracted to this center because of the Christian curriculum, but it is NOT 5 star care. There are much better options in the area and my Son now goes to one of them.

This was a major transition for my grandson. New daycare, stating Kindergarten. He was recently diagnosed with ASD, ADHD, OCD. I understand and my issue is the way it was handled. He never learned anyone's name there. The last day as I was walking through the parking lot, she opened the front door and said" this is his last day" I had no clue what had happened that afternoon. This was very unprofessional. I feel Ms Brandy needs a break. She seems very stressed and that's from day one. I could go on but as a professional myself, I would never treat my patients or their families in such a manner. Giving 2 stars is generous, based on my experience alone. Respect and courtesy go along way! It's all about perception! This is mine. Thank you, Disappointed Nana.
