Starting daycare for the first time with my 2-year-old daughter was nerve-wracking. Before…read moreenrolling her at The Nest - Middleton, we had a very bad experience at another daycare. She would come home unusually quiet, sit in a corner (completely unlike her), and wouldn't even smile. Even though they shared videos, something just didn't feel right. Within a week, we made the decision to pull her out. After speaking with Ms. Tina at The Nest - Middleton, I immediately felt reassured by her care and transparency. But more importantly, I could see the difference in my daughter almost right away. She was happy again, back to her energetic self, and excited to tell us about her day--what songs she sang, activities she did, and even interacting with other kids. What really stood out to me was the level of attention, communication, and genuine care from the staff. As a parent, that peace of mind is everything. It's clear they focus not just on supervision, but on creating a positive, engaging learning environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. Overall, I highly recommend The Nest Schools to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and structured place where their child can grow, learn, and genuinely enjoy their time.

He recognizes some of his teachers and seems comfortable and happy to be with them, smiles saying "bye-bye" and things like that. They've been easy to work with and understanding with me throughout our time here. So far, we're happy with it and hope to continue building trusting relationships and memories with CCC!

My child is still in the youngest class for now, but every staff member knows her by name and compliments her constantly. The staff is super sweet and nurturing, and we love the owners and director! I was referred here by a friend who's daughter has been here for years, and I'm so thankful for the recommendation. It's a great location on 55 in Cary near High House. And I love it because it's a 5 star school, but you can tell the children are there to be children and to have fun, while learning and being in a safe and clean environment. While we were searching for day cares, I kept touring all the corporately owned places like Primrose and Bright Horizons, you can tell they look good on paper, but the staff doesn't seem to work there because they're passionate about it. It's just a job to them. I love that Bright Beginnings is a smaller ratio classrooms, family owned by educators, conveniently located, and lastly SAFE school for my child. We will be here until Kindergarten!

An establishment is only as great as its leadership. With that said, I would not recommend Kiddie…read moreAcademy Fuquay so long as it is under the direction of Michele Carter. Becky and Brian (owner) are the faces of this establishment that draw in and retain families. The director, Michele (not to be confused as the owner) made our experience as parents a frustrating one, to say the least. My interactions with Michele were non-existent at best, traumatizing at its worst. My child spent over a year there. They were happy, they enjoyed being there and had great experiences with the teachers and assistance in their classroom; teachers acknowledged my child as bright, sweet and with great manners. In the few times where we as parents had to interact with staff, our approach was again, with great manners and respect. Issues arose particularly with having to communicate with Michele. Based on interactions, I would categorize the director's communication skills as tacky and unprofessional; her behavior as poor and without reproach. Most communication was through email and there were a few face-to-face, all informal. In one instance, I requested a meeting to discuss policies as they related to actions taken against us that appeared targeted and outside of any written policy. Michele refused to speak with us openly and informally, stating that she would "not be meeting" with us. The owner (graciously) took the meeting instead and we a productive dialougue. Then a HUGE and serious decision was made regarding my child - with no *formal* meeting to discuss the situation, followed by an outright refusal to provide *valid* supporting documentation. A formal meeting was requested and for a 2nd time, Michele refused, stating that "there is no benefit that can come from a meeting" and canceled the formal meeting that she had previously requested and agreed upon. Our time at Kiddie Academy Fuquay concluded when we were blindsided by a "last day" date, not by our choice. Not considering management, Kiddie Academy Fuquay was a decent place for us and we would have remained until school age, given we could eliminate any direct interactions with Michele, who was given full authority to continue to mismanage and misdirect our patronage. In your decision making process, take note of how management has responsed to negative reviews on Google: gaslighting, deflection, redirecting blame instead of accepting responsibility. If you are considering this location, consider with caution. An establishment is only as great as its leadership.

I have watched so many times over the camera that kids push and pull each other. But the teacher is not aware of these situations. Don't send your kid to such places where they don't even care about the kids. Thought of sharing this review as all the moms read.

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.

The curriculum has been outstanding and our daughter frequently comes home talking about what she learned that day. From lessons in sharing, English, math, and simply being a citizen of the world Magnolia has done a great job. Their facility is full of fun and educational materials. Every inch is meaningful utilized to spark learning and play. The team is top notch and has made our child feel seen, loved, and nurtured. We consider Ms. Marie and MS. Shelley to be superb educators and people we trust our daughter with. They are thoughtful, helpful, and kind. We visited several preschool options in Holly Springs and I can say we made a great choice. If you're interested in an excellent Montessori program in Holly Springs check them out!
