You won't find a better daycare/pre-school for your child than Primrose of West Cary. I only wish…read morewe found Primrose sooner! We have 2 little boys, 1 of whom has medical needs, and both of our boys loved Primrose as much as we do. The teachers, administration, and staff here are amazing! They've bent over backward to make sure the kids have the best experience possible, that all their needs are met, and that they are safe and well cared for. They are also so incredibly responsive! As the parent of a child with medical needs, I was especially impressed with the cleaning regimen and standards pre-covid not to mention all the additional safety measures and systems added since the pandemic started. The quality of the education is also great - both pre-school and pre-k curriculums and instruction. Both of my boys were well prepared for Kindergarten. In addition to the top quality of care, I always loved all the extras they threw in. They have special activities throughout the month, water-play outside in the summer, special holiday events in the winter, and even special covid-friendly parades and graduations! Plus festivals, competitions where the kids vote for each other's work, fan mail Friday (a chance for your kids to get "mail" in their classroom) and so much more! My youngest has been in Kindergarten since the Fall, and while it's been great, we truly miss Primrose - they're the best!

I cannot say enough good things about Country Sunshine.

She is so understanding and loves all the children with her whole heart.

My daughter was at this daycare for a week. The first day there, she recieved a black eye. We were…read morenot told until pick up and were given half a story. We spoke with the director and both teachers. They could not provide a consistent reason why she had the injury. 3 weeks post incident we were able to see the security footage. The footage did not match at all the story we were given. We also saw other concerning things in the video. When we brought up the concerns, we were told we just didn't know the teachers well enough and that everything was perfectly in order. We were not given a genuine apology and my daughter was repeatedly blamed, despite being an infant. This place came highly reccommended. Wildly disappointed and shocked at the response and lack of communication.

Debbie is incredible, honest, loving, caring and down-to-earth. I met her in the summer of 1996 and…read moreno single adult has had a larger impact of me. If you are looking for that kind of attachment for your child, Cathy Lee is the place for you. Send Debbie my Love!!

I can't believe this place hasn't been reviewed yet!!! It's nestled in Knightdale, not too far from…read more540 and downtown Knightdale. We searched high AND low, visiting several local child care centers only to be disappointed in what was available in Knightdale, until we walked into Cathy Lee's. This place, owners and it's caregivers are amazing. We had our child in their care from 7months old to the start of Kindergarten and she learned so much while she was there. They are a family business and truly care about the children. Any issue I ever had was dealt with swiftly and with respect for us and our child's best interests. I can't say enough about how great this center is!!! Occasionally we still call them to help us with child care now that she is older and has Teacher Work Days when she is out of school. They have track out facilities across the street! This place is GREAT!!!!

I am thoroughly disappointed in Highwoods Park KinderCare. I applied to the waitlist in July and…read morewas told that there would be spots available starting in November. When I called to see where I was on the waitlist, the director of the program said that they do not have a record of me applying to the waitlist. She was not interested in the fact that I had an email confirmation of my waitlist application nor that I was told that they would have availability. She did not apologize for their error until I mentioned that she was not apologetic and then said the best she could do was to get me on the waitlist again for a June opening. She could not guarantee that they would not lose my information again if I was put back on the waitlist. Raising a child and returning to work is stressful enough without having incompetent , unsympathetic program directors losing your information and not offering any acceptable resolution to their mistake. This situation is particularly frustrating considering I return to work in 2.5 weeks. If this is the type of care, consideration, and customer service they provide, I can only imagine the type of care they provide to children within their facility.

This daycare has been so great. We were forced to pull our son out of his previous daycare and the…read moredirector had an opening and was able to fit in a tour and get my son in the following business day. His classroom teacher Tamara and Kadeja are also both amazing. They keep me updated throughout the day with photos, videos, and any incidents. I can even communicate with them throughout the day via the app. I am so grateful to have found this center and everyone is so warm and welcoming from the moment I get in for drop offs and pick ups. The curriculum and enrichment activities are great and my son is developing so well. I've had terrible experiences at other centers and this one is not one of them. They are top notch. I trust them with my toddler and they will soon care for my newborn as well.

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.

My son absolutely loves school. He has moved to the pre-school class and the teachers are very…read morestrong. I went to a party and another parent said "You guys are at Lightbridge?! That curriculum is amazing." My son loves his teachers and was so happy to see them again after vacation. He often says "I will tell my teachers about this." He is eager to please them. The Quality: the teachers know what they are doing. The kids jump around in the morning and sit quietly during lunch. It doesn't feel chaotic but under control, safe and calm. There are free and paid specials - free music and gym are free. There are also paid dance classes (Little People's Creative Workshop) and Soccer (Soccer shots). My son loves all of these and it's certainly convenient for us. My son has started really looking at books on his own, recognizing letters, writing letters etc. We are very happy with his progress and his teachers. They have a big screen in his class which they use for yoga, music, lessons etc. Value: It's not cheap, for sure. But many people don't know that religious-sponsored schools do not have to adhere to safety/quality standards which is one of the reasons why they are cheaper. My son is safe, happy and healthy in school. They provide meals but you can opt out if you'd like. They provide generally healthy options for kids and my son likes to eat there. It's a great school.

They no longer offer part time care unfortunately but if you're looking for a full time place this…read moreis a good fit. We were lucky enough to get part time care before they switched. We had to pull our kid out unfortunately, but for personal reasons nothing to do with the daycare. We're very sad because we loved Ms Felicia in the infant room. There's an app to communicate with the teachers and to watch the video feed if you want to which came in handy when I wanted to see when I could get him if he was sleeping or not. I'm sad that when we are able to go back to daycare we won't be able to do it since they won't accept part time kids anymore. I can't vouch for the other rooms just the infant room but honestly the whole staff is really nice and welcoming.

The facility is very well run and my child absolutely loved their teachers. They were warm,…read moreattentive, and created a fun, caring environment every day. The special activities planned throughout the year were thoughtful and enriching for the children. My only concern is management's communication with parents. At times my questions and concerns were met with a tone that felt dismissive rather than collaborative, and I've heard similar feedback from a few other parents. This created unnecessary worry and made it harder to feel like true partners in my child's care. While the classroom experience was excellent, leadership would benefit from clearer, more respectful communication and a stronger focus on working together with families. It's clear there is a lot of heart in running this school, and I hope these improvements can make the experience even better for future families.

The administration needs training regarding customer service, particularly communication with…read moreparents. I was spoken to harshly on multiple occasions for things like driving into the parking lot from the wrong entrance and bringing my daughters in too close to the cut off time for drop off. I understand the need to keep a tightly run ship, but overreacting by disrespecting parents is so unnecessary and hurtful. I would recommend that Toni and the rest of the staff focus more on communication with families and learn to deliver messages with kindness rather than scolding parents. I would not bring my children here as the inconsiderate attitude is just bad energy that filters through any organization, reaching classrooms, teachers, and the unfortunately your children.

We've had a very positive experience here. My husband and I moved from out of state a few weeks…read moreafter our daughter was born and got a late start applying for various daycare waitlists. Childcare Network was one of the few centers we contacted (and we contacted many) that provided straightforward information about when our baby could start. She began on the promised date and thrived in the infant room. I honestly think her sitting, crawling, and self-feeding happened about a month ahead of when I expected, thanks to the patient care of the staff. Everyone at the center, from the director to the cook, knows our baby's name and greets her enthusiastically as she arrives and goes home. The warmth and kindness present here has made a huge difference in our first year as parents. Thank you!

Long before my younger son came along, my older son was lovingly cared for and taught here from the…read moretime he was 6 months old until he started pre-K (2013-2017). He learned so many skills in their care and my working first time mom worries were minimal because we had such a good experience. When his school dates and my teaching workdays did not always line up, he came back for care during the summer several times. I had a coworker who also brought his child to Childcare Network because they were impressed with both what we had to say about the center and how happy our son was when they toured the facility. Despite it being nearly a decade later, when my second son was born in February 2024, we knew this was the first place we wanted to look for childcare options. I was pleasantly shocked that several employees knew and remembered my older son by name, and to comment on how much alike my sons look. It warms my heart to hear him greeted fondly by name by teachers from all classrooms and ages, not just those who care for him in the infant room. I am so grateful for the care and education both of my sons have received and the little one will continue to receive for the next several years. I am able to be a much better, healthier and happier working parent with their partnership.
