It has great teachers and owners that really care about their business and the kids as well. It is hard to find a good school today that your kid is not just a number to them. This is what has kept us happy with Holly Springs Academy and would help us to recommend it to anyone.

They are all caring, fun and work hard to adapt to children's educational needs and comfort level. Communication is another positive with this school. The school has great communication about events, children's achievements, any illnesses, and each child's daily activities to include photos. I can't recommend this school enough.

I can't say enough great things about this school. My very shy 3 year old started here after moving…read morefrom Houston Texas and has excelled in learning. 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.

We are so grateful to have found this preschool! 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.

Before joining Magnolia Montessori, my daughter attended another daycare for about a year. In the…read morephotos and videos, she was always very quiet and mostly observing from far away instead of joining the other kids. She often seemed like the lonely child in the group. As a mom, it honestly broke my heart a little. I even asked the teachers to encourage her to get involved more, but she still seemed distant from her peers. But thankfully, everything changed as soon as she started at Magnolia Montessori. Her confidence grew so much. She became more comfortable talking with people, and she started making friends easily. The care and support they provide are truly priceless to our family. I truly cannot thank Miss Marie, Miss Shelly, and all the teachers enough for the love, patience, and support they gave my daughter. I'm beyond grateful for the positive impact they've had on her growth and happiness.

Our daughter has attended HSSEE since she was 3 months old. She is now two. We have loved our…read moreteachers and Kate, the owner/director is great. She is attentive and responsive. They use the Tadpoles app for daily reports and send pictures of our girl throughout the day. I look forward to getting these pictures and love that I get to see what she is doing during the day while I'm at work. The lesson plans are age appropriate and I've been very happy with my daughter's progress. It is more than just "child minding", the kids are actually learning. I highly recommend HSSEE if you are looking for a daycare in the area.

Be very careful when enrolling your precious child in this school. Most of the teachers are great…read morebut others are very questionable. The class sizes are too big (25) in the Children's House. My daughter attended there when she was three. By the time she was five she was scared to go to school. I couldn't understand why she wasn't progressing academically. One day I decided to let her stay home for a few days to give her a break. When it was time to go back, she screamed that she didn't want to go back and asked her father did he have a gun because his job was to protect her. We later found out that the teacher was shaking her when she got an answer wrong. Fast forward 3 years later, my daughter is still in therapy, weekly, and scared to get an answer wrong b/c she's scared that she's going to upset the teacher. Even though this school has great qualities, it isn't worth gambling your child's social/emotional well being.

My son started in the 2 year classroom at the end of September. Upon enrollment I informed the…read moreassistant director that he was being tested for possibly being on the autism spectrum and was currently not verbal. I was assured that his classroom would have 2 teachers and that the staff was capable of handling his special needs. Unfortunately that was not the case. My son was never made to be apart of the class. They never put his pictures up like rest of the kids. Every single day we were being accosted by the director about behavior that is typical of a child on the spectrum. Ie: toe walking, putting things in his mouth. I was told that they could no longer have a 2nd teacher in the classroom. I don't think this was true, it was a way of encouraging me to unenroll my child. I paid money to have a therapist come in to start speech therapy as soon as I get that set up he was kicked out. This place is not tolerant of children with special needs and abilities. Not safe for children who may elope. Will kick your child out of the school for being different. It is heartbreaking when your child finally warms up to school and being around other children and then you have to start over again at a new school with new people. If your child has different abilities please save yourself the time, money and heartache of placing them at this location. They will teach your child their 1st lesson on being discriminated against based on their disabilities.

Goodard School at Apex caused a huge stress in our lives. One day, child protection service officer…read morecalled me that there is a complaint against me. As you can imagine, this was quite unsettling. I went through the interview patiently. I was told that the complaint was done by the Goddard School. The complaint was that I take walks with my younger child, without taking my elder child with me, and this was suspicious. I had been doing this for more than a year. So what had happened? What had happened a few days before that was that I had a disagreement with the director. The CPS officer, after satisfying herself by asking me all kind of questions, told me that they have received complaints like this in the past. Based on their feedbacks, they have realized that Goddard is very nice to the parents at the time of enrollment. A year or two after that, on any disagreement, they use one parent against the other. Or if they don't like something about you, they complain to the social service, on some pretext. By this time , the parents cannnot make the children go through a disruptive change, by changing the school. The school is obviously expert in human behavior, and has calculated this in its "art" of keeping the parents in check. The parents then start "working with" the school. She finally told me that the CPS service check is routine, and she will get back. The service was called off in about a month and a half. It was not actually called off. Only when I checked back with them, I received a mail stating "no services required". Needless to say, that month and a half, I was fighting with my own worst fears. I just prayed this to go away. I do not wish that this school happens to you.

We enrolled our daughter at The Goddard School and after 3 months, we pulled her from the program…read more The school is very secure and seems to be clean. The owners (husband & wife team) are on-site. He is friendly, outgoing and makes it a point to know all of the kids and parents by name- the wife, not so much. The old Director & Assistant Director were both very nice - not sure if they've left or have both been on vacation, but the new person that has been there has been really rude, to the point that I have dreaded having to call or go in to the school. The tuition was ridiculously expensive ($986 for part time, M-F 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM), but there didn't seem to be anything more or better than what a "regular" preschool would be doing. They also don't provide lunch, which seems a little unreasonable at that price point. Bottom line - it's just okay. It's overpriced for what it actually is. I'm pretty confident that we can find something just as good, if not better (nicer staff, more welcoming environment) at a more appealing price.
