Schools in Burlington, NC

“My child was enrolled at The Growing Years just one month ago and it has been the absolute best experience! His teachers Ms.Niya and Ms.Eman are absolutely wonderful with him. They work with him and are finding the best ways for him to learn and make him feel so important and seen. Being able to watch this in real time has been a priceless experience. The special activities and opportunities that are given are just added bonuses to the high quality facility. I highly recommend The Growing Years Burlington. It is everything you could want for your child and much much more.”

“My son was in preschool at Children's House a few years ago - around the same time the child from the last post was a student. I felt like I needed to comment because my son also had a difficult time calming his body during rest time, and I'm so appreciative of the extra time and attention Miss. Virginia gave him as he worked to master this important skill.No child was required to sleep, only to calm their bodies and minds. Miss. Virginia would play soft music and sit at the teacher table where she would do quiet work during rest time. She would position my son next to where she sat and often rubbed his back while he rested and looked through books. He enjoyed snuggling against her legs and I appreciate that Miss. Virginia, like every other teacher at Children's House, addressed the individual needs of my child while using age-appropriated methods to transition him from napping to "rest time." She helped him learn to calm his body and mind, and also taught him to respect his classmates' needs for a calm, quiet and safe space to rest.Miss. Virginia established Children's House Montessori in 1993 and I am so grateful that her daughter Grace chose to take on the work of providing a warm and nurturing learning environment built on the principles of Maria Montessori. Children's House requires (and pays for) their staff to complete ongoing training and continuing education in Montessori methods and principles - it is one of the main reasons we chose the school for our kids.Online reviews are powerful, yet the only gatekeeper to publishing is the commenter's own moral compass. I strongly recommend the last commenter spend time learning about Montessori methods to avoid making untrue and unfounded accusations regarding the education Children's House provides. The website for the American Montessori Society is a good place to start.The early childhood education industry faced enormous challenges due to Covid and nearly 16,000 US childcare centers have closed in the last two years. The management and staff at Children's House worked tirelessly to stay open throughout the pandemic. They worked with families facing financial hardship to ensure continuation of care, even when it must have seemed impossible to stay viable themselves. The classroom teachers and staff put their own health and wellness at risk every single day so they could be there for the kids and families who needed them.Thank you Miss Virginia, Miss Grace and the entire Children's House community for showing up and being there for the kids in your care. Please do not let an individual commenter make you question the quality of care you provide or the good you are doing for this community. You are appreciated.”

“My oldest child attended Childcare Network 78 for summer of 2022. She ADORED every teacher there and had the best time with Mrs. Aimee. Mrs. Amber was so helpful with making a space for my younger son to do drop-in care a few days. He has a very hard time with transitions but Mrs. Amber and her teachers in the A building made him feel welcome and safe. I remember there being a sign on the door to the classroom welcoming him. Both my children speak so highly of Mrs. Aimee and Mrs. Amber and their staff.”
