Lynn Road Childcare Academy

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.

Before the Bell Preschool

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.).

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.

At the time, we also need a new water heater and asked them to give us an estimate for a new gas tankless water system while they were here. The two guys who showed up to do the work, were very professional, thorough and efficiant. The work that we hired them for was excellent and the cost to do this work was excellent - they were here for a couple of hours to complete the work and give us an estimate and charged us only $265. Another plumbing (Brown Brothers) company we hired to to adjust our water pressure (ONLY) a 7 months ago - were here for only 15-minutes and lowered our high water pressure way too low, charged us almost $500 - and it took them 7 months to bill us. Do not hesitate to hire Joseph Rose Plumbing for your work at your home. Also, I would like to add that the Joseph Rose technicians took pictures of ALL the work they did - before and after - and these were all included in their emailed invoice. That said, while Joseph Rose's estimate for a new gas tankless system came in a couple of thousand dollars LESS than the lowest estimate we recieved from other companies, we were very nervous about hiring them for this particular work because they didn't mention anything about pulling a city permit for the work. At the end of our discussion - the guy told us that they don't pull permits - this is the responsibility of the homeowner. He said you want us to pull a city permit for the work, it would cost $500, but a permit isn't required (for new installs and like-like-replacements). At the time I didn't realize that a city permit only costs $65 and the this work 100% requires a permit to be pulled. I found this out when I emailed Durham City inspectors to inquire. When I emailed Joseph Rose Plumbing why we were not hiring them for this job, they responded with "We install lots of gas tankless water heaters without pulling permits". Ethan did respond to my email to let me know that his office manager was new/still learning and misunderstood. If you are having plumbing work that requires a city permit - look elsewhere, none of the three other companies who gave us estimates required the customer to pull their own city permit for the work - let alone charge $500 if you wanted them to pull a permit.

He was just a kid but he knew a lot more about guitars than I did. I'd played since I was 12, on cheap guitars, but I played. Thanks to the things I learned through visiting this business, I've developed into a modestly decent player. I've met musicians of every skill level in a place where I feel welcome.

Lynn Road Child Care Academy is absolutely Amazing! Their child care services are excellent and the Teachers are so caring and sweet and they are great with the children. They truly make each child feel like family. My one year old daughter Makenzie attends the daycare and so does my 5 year old daughter Riley when she is out of School. They have both learned so much and they truly look forward to going each and every day! The Owner Mrs. Khalida Shami is truly an amazing person and works with each family for the best interest of each child! They are extremely flexible and they always go out of their way to make sure that each child gets one on one time. The daycare is extremely clean and the meals that they offer for the children are excellent! Their rates are extremely reasonable and they are the best in town. I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone who is looking for a great place for their children to learn and grow. I leave to work each day, with a peace of mind that my girls are in good hands!

Horrible Horrible Horrible. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD THERE. If your child gets a bite from another child or scratched no one ever seems to notice. I find it ex-termly hard to believe if you can count the teeth marks that your child never cried so they never noticed. Also anyone can kidnap your child because they DO NOT ID anyone, they just ask you who your are. They have cameras that are point less when you ask to see a video they do not know how to rewind the tape. They need to be closed down horrible. read more

My daughter has been at this center for 2 years and it's been a great experience starting with the staff all the way down to each of her teachers. Guilty of watching the classroom through the one-way mirror when no one knew I was there, i've seen first hand how her teachers balance time and activities with the all the kids, while still giving individual interactions. That can't be easy with a bunch of 2 year olds! Most importantly, I'm pleased with how my daughter continually hits all of her development milestones. I like how the PreciousStatus app gives me a glimpse of what and how my daughter is doing throughout the day. That's pretty key for a 1st time parent like myself :-) I also love the upgrades to all of the classrooms. I'm more than pleased with my daughter being here. They have staff that are committed, caring and held to a high level of expectation with the kids. This dad couldn't ask for anything more.

I cannot recommend this daycare to any parent…read more My experience was extremely concerning. I personally witnessed and have evidence of incidents involving my child that made me lose all confidence in this facility. One teacher, Destiny, was captured on camera yelling at a classroom of three-year-olds, including my daughter. In one instance, my daughter was yelled at simply for raising her hand at what the teacher considered the "wrong" time. The children were also spoken to harshly during a classroom activity because they did not know what would happen when baking soda and vinegar were mixed. Three-year-olds are at daycare to learn, not to be shamed for not already knowing the answers. When I raised my concerns, I expected the daycare to address the teacher's behavior. Instead, I was told they wanted to move my daughter out of the classroom rather than remove the teacher whose conduct was the issue. There was also another incident involving a teacher named Cassandra that I found completely unacceptable and addressed directly with the school. My daughter frequently came home crying and begging me not to take her back because she felt the teachers--not just other children--were picking on her. As a parent, hearing your child say that is heartbreaking. I voiced my concerns multiple times, but I did not feel they were taken seriously or handled appropriately. Parents should be able to trust that their children are safe, respected, and treated with patience and kindness while in someone else's care. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this daycare. I encourage parents to do their research, ask questions, and observe how staff interact with the children before enrolling. Every child deserves to be treated with dignity, patience, and respect.

I did an intensive research process to discover this daycare -- visited 5 in this area and called every single one in Chapel Hill region. This was hands down the best one. Community: The daycare is a co-op model, which means that parents are asked to volunteer to help with small projects and that the profits they earn go back to help fund the education of their caretakers. I think this really makes a difference for feeling like you are paying and investing in a community, rather than a corporation. Lower ratios: most daycares go with what the state mandates - 1:5 for babies, 1:6 for 1-2 year olds, and 1:10 for 2-3 year olds. Coming from another state; this is just abysmal. They start at 1:3 and then do 1:6 for 2-3 year olds. Anyone who has been in a daycare room when all the kids are there knows that this should really be the max. Price: it's a bit more costly than other daycares in the area, but it's worth it in my opinion. They do accept vouchers so you can look into that if you need. Location: maybe from a lot of people, but southern village is a great place. The kids can go on field trips to the huge park or this weaver street. Outdoor play: They do a lot of it and are very diligent about bug spray and sunscreen. They have a wonderful play yard with plenty of room, shade, and toys. They do water play in the summer twice a week. Potty training: they are very supportive with potty training and will sit your child on the potty every 30 minutes if that's what's needed. Drop off/pick up: not sure the earliest time you can drop off - maybe 7 or 730? Latest pick up is 530. Discipline/style: they are warm and gentle, but also good at enforcing boundaries. I've seen them engaging in more gentle methods like making positive suggestions for alternatives rather than just saying no. The structured scheduled helps kids know that putting away toys, sitting down at meals, washing hands, and going potty every hour are non negotiables.

Thankfully, CHDCC went above and beyond to welcome my daughter to the school and to meet her needs (and mine!) during that first week. Throughout our time at CHDCC, my husband and I have been incredibly impressed by the quality of the teachers and staff. Our center in D.C. had frequent staff turn-over and it has been such a gift to watch our daughter grow and thrive with a consistent, experienced early childhood professional. This teacher magically potty-trained our daughter in the first two months at school and supported her social, emotional, and cognitive growth each day. We were lucky enough to loop with her from the 2 year-old to the 3 year-old room, making for another smooth transition this year. Everyone at the center is warm and welcoming and I am always blown away by the fact that every adult in the building knows my daughter by name and looks out for her well-being. I am a huge fan of the play-based learning that takes place at CHDCC and love how her teacher differentiates instruction to cater to both the abilities and the interests of each child. I would highly recommend CHDCC to other parents and plan to enroll our second child in the infant room this year.

Hearing their cries and the things my six, almost 7yo daughter would tell me. Again I just cannot say enough about the care provided by KB for the whole family. I love their director Erica and assistant director Alex! They're both incredibly friendly and make you feel like you've been friends for two decades kind of friendly but still professional and uphold boundaries to ensure that all are treated the same. They really care about their students and families. The teachers are wonderful especially in keeping contact with us parents about any concerns or even kudos. We all have things going on in our lives at home but Knowledge Beginnings have given such a wonderful, safe, happy, structured, comforting and loving stable environment for my children and I'm so grateful. From Miss Barbara to the teachers and directors, you would be crazy not to enroll your children her!!!

Our 2 children were enrolled full time at Goddard for 14 months before the owner suggested we move…read moreon due to lack of trust in April. We can certainly attest that the director, Ms. Dee, is incredibly hardworking and kind and she always put a great effort towards running a tight ship. We received an email from the owner saying that Goddard was cited for running over ratios (look up reports for any preschool on https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/childcaresearch ). When we replied expressing our discomfort with how the situation was handled, she suggested that we move on since we no longer trust her. It totally blind sighted us because we had previously had a positive relationship. It felt like we were just another number and she's going to move on to the next name in her wait list. We are happy this happened because it gave us an opportunity to compare with other centers. We didn't like that kids were given iPads at Goddard and were happy to find that is not the case elsewhere. Several centers provided meals (Goddard does not) and had more opportunities for water play and sports exposure (soccer lessons, basketball lessons, basketball court, splash pad area). We also weren't thrilled that lessons were shown at Goddard on a small computer screen with kids gathered around. There are plenty of happy parents at Goddard. We were pleased with Goddard at first and have met wonderful teachers. We didn't appreciate how the owner treated us and are happy to have found alternatives that a better fit for our needs.
