I have had two children in different Learning Together classrooms for the summer and school year…read moreprograms since summer 2016. One is still attending and the other has gone on to Kindergarten. All of the teachers and administrators know our kids names and truly care about helping all of the children flourish. They receive the best care and education available by a steadfast and dedicated staff. There are additional resources to help learning outcomes and monthly meetings available that help support parents and parenting skills. Other centers pale in comparison to Learning Together. They meet and exceed standards of care. They are also accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) where less than 6% of childcare centers in the US carry that standard. There is another unsavory review on here and I have not had any similar experiences. The potty training comment is not in the context of the child. I have two and the first was ready to train right away and the second wasn't and has had trainings when he was ready. That speaks volumes to the staff being aware that different children will take on different skills when ready. My second child just was not ready when we initially discussed potty training and the Learning Together staff were able to start that training once he was. This is a feather in their cap for being responsive to the child.

If I could give this zero stars I would. I decided to enroll my child in the summer program. I was…read morevery disappointed in the lack of communication from the teachers. I never knew how my child was doing and or even how their day was. They promised things like "we do lots of water play during the summer" - not once did they do this. My child loves school and would kick and scream towards the end of the summer, clearly not wanting to go in for whatever reason. They also promised to help with potty training, but they never put my child on the toilet. They would only change diapers and not even well. My child would come home with a rash because they didn't wipe well at all. I had better hopes for this place and was really let down.

There aren't enough stars to rate Before the Bell…read more My little girl, Eve, just loves this school. I credit much of her transformation from a shy, clingy toddler to a friendly little preschooler to Ms. Nikki and her school. Eve adores Ms. Nikki's daughter Evona, who stops by to play with the children when she's not busy with middle school. Before the Bell manages to be the perfect balance between a family-run in-home center and a private freestanding preschool. Although it's located in a family home, the house is a split-level, with the living area separate from the school. The school occupies the downstairs (plus backyard playground), and inside the school it looks in every way like a traditional preschool. But fortunately, there's none of the high turnover of staff or even the children that you find in most daycares or full-day preschools. Meanwhile, we like that the school day is more structured than you'd find in a typical in-home center. Before the Bell places a strong emphasis on early literacy and hands-on activities, as well as free play. You also have the option of keeping up with the school's activities on Twitter (with appropriate release forms, etc.).

I toured all of the 4 and 5 star preschools when it was time for my son to begin. HMCS was a 4 star at that time and I was still more impressed them than the other schools, including the ones with 5 star ratings. HMCS is now rated as a 5 star. The directors/teachers actually care about each student and it shows. The location is convenient, but right next to a gas station. At first I thought it was kind of an ugly view from the playground, but there are bushes and the kids don't seem to think twice about the surroundings outisde of the playground anyway.

I have seen so many teachers…read morecome and go during this period of time and that is the most negative thing about Harps Mill. I have also had some problems with a couple of the students, but as soon as I addressed the situation with the Director, she took care of things immediately. The Director is Aisha Eugene and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is professional, polite, concerned with any issues, and works diligently to make sure that the children are safe and well looked after. She is also accessible and that is very important to parents and grandparents. My grandson adores her as well as my husband and I. As grandparents raising our grandson, we are obviously older and more attuned to his needs. We are raising him to be respectful, courteous, and mannerly, and we want him to be treated the same by others. We have brought a few situations to the attention of Ms. Eugene and she has thoughtfully reviewed what improvements can be made. Harps Mill Creative School is extremely lucky to have her!

They love to talk about the handbook but don't hold up their end (ratios, communication, parent conference, staff conduct and staff quality). Staff are always on their personal phones and the ratios that they claim to have are not upheld. We have had our child enrolled from 6 months to 2 and have seen almost twice the ratio that they claim to have. We have also heard screaming at children on a daily basis from teachers of the older kids (3+). If you bring any of this up you are given excuse or they blame the staff that is under them. as a parent and a teacher here in Wake county I would beg you to stay away!

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.
