Courtney's is hands down the best daycare/drop-in care center we've been to. No matter where you…read morelook, everything about Courtney's is a 10/10! Everyone here values safety above all else. There is a secure door upon entry into the daycare, and inside the daycare, there is a child-proof gate as well. The staff here also do an excellent job cleaning and I am always impressed by how they can manage to keep the daycare so clean even when there are so many kids running around and doing so many activities! My 2-year-old daughter never came home with clothes soaked in food and that's because they are also careful about not getting food everywhere during mealtimes. Courtney's was already super clean before COVID, and after COVID, I must say I was even more impressed with their level of sanitation and cleanliness. They use EPA-grade, child-friendly sanitation that can put any parents' mind at ease. The hours and rates here are also what set this daycare apart from any other. I was a law student while I used Courtney's for my daughter, and the hours and rates were so convenient. My studies/classes usually last well into the evening and I usually have mornings off, so the timing worked so well here with Courtney's being open until 8 pm on weekdays and 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The hours were also perfect for much-needed date nights with my partner! There are a wealth of toys and games for children of all ages, and it was seriously my daughter's favorite place to go! Every morning she would get super excited because she knew she was going to her little mini-Disneyland. The staff here don't just encourage passive play--during Mother's Day week, she came home with a new painting for mom each day and I was so touched at the level of detail and attention the staff here gives to each child! Last but certainly not least, the staff and owner here are the absolutely most caring, kind, and sweetest people I have ever met. Heather, Kaneisha, Kayla, Angela (and more) care about each and every one of their families and this was really important to us especially since this is not true of many other daycares. The fact that I haven't seen any staff turnover during the 1.5 years we were at Courtney's is a true testament to their caring and family-like staff. I refer all of my colleagues and friends at the law school with children to check out Courtney's because we know they will not be disappointed. We will miss everyone at Courtney's so much now that we moved out of state and I highly recommend any family who is looking for high quality and superb care for their children to check out Courtney's!

When we moved to Raleigh, we put our child in the care of Primrose School of Hilburn and never…read moreregretted it once. This is an exceptionally caring, diligent, and clean daycare. Sonia and Janae are responsive and each of our child's teachers were exceptional. We recently had to move daycares because we ended up not buying a home near Primrose School of Hilburn. We were very sad to leave them, and we wish them the best! If there are any negatives, the 'carpool lane' is not always treated as a quick in and out, and you can often get stuck behind cars of parents that go inside and take their time getting out. The hours (7 AM to 6 PM) are a little shorter than other daycares we looked at. And, the holiday schedule seems to provide a few additional days off than we were accustomed to. We viewed each of these items as being very minor, and overall, we were very happy with our Primrose experience!

Our kiddos have been at Primrose for a few years now and it doesn't get better than this! Our…read moreoldest transferred over from another school because we moved across town, and I was a nervous wreck about the transition. But the teachers and administrators worked so hard to ensure a smooth transition. They kept us up-to-date on his progress (and even called throughout the day to let us know that even with a rough drop off in the morning, he was having so much fun with his new friends shortly afterwards), and gave us tips to make the change easier. We have loved the teachers in every classroom that he has progressed to. With our youngest, there was no doubt he would also be joining his big brother. Dropping off an infant is always rough the first few weeks, but it was such natural experience at that point and the teachers are so caring with the babies, that I don't think a tear was shed (so different from my firstborn!). We love being able to follow their daily activities on their secure app, and they send us pictures throughout the day and summaries of what they learned and how we can continue with the lessons at home (ex. 'Toddlers did rhyming today, what kind of rhymes can you two come up with for the word xyz'). I had always thought that I would transfer our kids to preschool when the time came, but I see how much they learn every day at Primrose and know that we'll just make the switch to Kindergarten when the time comes. It's a great, involved school, where your kids are really cared for. All of the teachers, administrators, chef, etc know both of my kids by name and my toddler is always excited to give them hugs or run up for a high five. Extra bonus: It's close to Target so when we're in a rush to grab something on the way to pickup, we can always swing by Target for more diapers, etc.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this daycare. My daughter started here when she was just…read more7 months old, and from the very first day, the entire staff made both of us feel supported, understood, and genuinely cared for. They didn't just help my daughter grow -- they helped me as a new mom navigate all the changes, emotions, and adjustments that come with those early months. Every teacher we interacted with showed patience, kindness, and a level of dedication that is rare to find. They celebrated her milestones, comforted her when she needed it, and kept me informed every step of the way. Knowing she was in such loving and capable hands gave me peace of mind that I will always be grateful for. This place is truly something special. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be nurtured, supported, and treated like family, look no further. I could not recommend it more. Don't hesitate -- enroll your little one here. It was one of the best decisions I've made for my daughter.

I have never experienced someone so disconnected with what's happening at the facility. The accounts are in shambles, and mistakes are handled by the director with zero grace or humility. It's a difficult thing to get comfortable enough to trust someone to care for your child. Then once your child makes bonds with friends and teachers, it truly leaves you in a hard place when you encounter a operator/business owner like Praj.

My partner and I hired Emerald Doulas to help us find a postpartum doula. Melanie, who runs Emerald…read moreDoulas, was fantastic in shepherding us along the process. She got on the phone with me once I requested a consultation and chatted through what kind of support I wanted from a doula, went over what doulas could do to support us, and went over our schedule. She then sent us profiles of doulas who could fit our needs, and I was able to interview the ones I though were the best fit. Our doula, Keya, was fantastic. She had such a calming aura compared to mine and my husband's frenetic panic as new parents. She also would check-in with me before heading over to our apartment to see if we needed any errands run or any products brought to the apartment. I wholly recommend Emerald Doulas and especially getting a postpartum doula--especially if you don't have family in the area!

Your child's safety is not a priority at this facility. On 9/1/21, my 1-year old was injured due to…read morethe negligence of the staff. They allowed three toddlers to be on a climbing toy meant for one child at a time. Two of them fell on my child and he busted his lip. In video footage, a staff member walks right past them shortly before the accident occurred. We were very disappointed in the initial response from the staff at all levels. Which did not match the gravity of the situation. When I was informed by Ashley Litchfield (Director), I told her I would be there right away. However, when I arrived to speak with her 25min later, she had left. The teachers in the classroom showed little remorse. So, I had to take my child home with inconsistent information on what happened. It was difficult to reach someone in leadership to address our concerns that evening. It wasn't until my husband called to escalate the situation and request a meeting, that we received more details from Ashely & Lynn (Owner). I won't even get into the issues we had with Grant (Owner's son) and his unprofessionalism on different occasions. We had to request that an actual accident report be done. Only after we filed a complaint with the regional office was an investigation and additional "safety training" conducted. Although we already had a few complaints about this facility, imagine the horror of finding a bloody shirt in your child's bag without notice? My son has not returned since that day, and I don't recommend sending your children here. At least Lynn was "gracious" enough to say "we will not financially hold you to our policy of a thirty-day written notice of disenrollment." Are you kidding me?
