My son had a half dollar size bruise. This is what Heidi McCaskey, the Director at Lionsgate Child…read moreDevelopment Center, and Glenda Combs (Regional Director for Apple Tree Academies) allow to happen in their care. This is the third time he has been bit by the SAME, KNOWN, biter. He has bitten multiple children, on multiple occasions, over a lengthy period of time. His own teachers call him "the piranha". But yet, because I was upset, and thought they weren't doing enough to protect the children from him, was told "it's not a good fit". We've been there for over a year, and I would challenge them to produce one teacher in that facility that doesn't enjoy my son. But I have heard all kinds of negative comments about the other one. And because he has a difficult home situation, he gets a pass. I'm so heartbroken that my son is being punished. I have even swallowed every bit of pride and practically begged to stay. But "it's not a good fit" because I'm the squeaky wheel. RE: Jamie L's review There is not anything else to the story. The reason I wanted to stay was because I have an anxiety problem and don't deal well with change. The thought of having to introduce my son to new teachers the week before I had to go out of town for work was overwhelming to me, and I had a moment of weakness thinking that staying at Lionsgate would have been the better choice. I am SOOO glad that I didn't get the opportunity to follow through with that. My son has thrived in his new school, and has not been bitten even one time. We are incredibly happy where we are at, and still maintain a relationship with some of the teachers from Lionsgate so that my son can still have them in his life. I NEVER had a problem with the teachers; my problem was always and only with the lack of action by Heidi McCaskey and Glenda McCombs.

Where to begin with the review??…read more I had the pleasure of bringing my two kids here at an early age. After meeting the assistant director (now director, Heidi McCaskey) I knew I was in the right place. Not only was she super friendly, the teachers seemed great during my walk through! I pulled my kids out of another daycare for issues that they couldn't handle and put them here at lionsgate! Best decision of mine and my kids life. I have never had any issues with the staff and have been there for 5 years. As for the last review, why would you beg to come back if you hate this place?? Seems a little silly you hate the place and yet beg to stay, Just my opinion!! There is obviously more to this situation that is untold. I think it is unfortunate that Heidi is made out to be this terrible person when she has been nothing but awesome to our family. Maybe she cares more about the children and tries to find solutions rather than just kicking them out.

My son has been attending HMCS for just under a year now. It has been a great experience so far…read more They aren't the least expensive, but they aren't the most expensvie. 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.

My grandson has been attending Harps Mill Creative School since 2017. 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!

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.

While I absolutely love my son's teacher's and friends and they've been essential to his…read moredevelopment, the director of Kiddie Academy of Cary is another story. 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.

100%, hands down, the BEST childcare center our children have ever attended. We moved to the area…read morelast year and had them going to Childcare Network which did not work out for us at all. We were lucky enough to find an opening for our kids here and will never go anywhere else. The staff is incredibly friendly and so helpful. They really do care so much about your kids and have an excellent communication app that gives you updates throughout the day (naps, how much they are and what they ate, etc). Tamara and Susan are excellent administrators and have such a great communication set up with their staff, and it shows. The staff is always happy and welcoming and will voice any differences/concerns regarding the kids. Hands down the absolute BEST daycare in the area!!

Great place for daycare and reasonably priced. We were originally at rainbow daycare and it was…read moreterrible there. CCDC has worked wonders for our 14 month old daughter. She's learning more and socializing more. She comes home happier then when she was at rainbow. All of the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Her teacher Victoria is amazing at what she does, it makes me happy when I bring my daughter in and she smiles at her and doesn't cry like she did at rainbow. The only thing I wish they had was an app so we could see some pictures of her and check up on her day but they say that is coming. All in all we couldn't be more pleased!
