Schools in Cary, NC

“My children have been attending this daycare, and we have been with them for five years now. All of the teachers are wonderful, and they truly care about each child. I am very grateful for the support and attention they provide.
We initially chose this daycare because it is NAEYC-accredited, which is very difficult to obtain. After our experience here, we feel confident that we made the right decision.”

“We love La Petite and have had our son here for 4 years! He learns so much and his teachers, and Mrs. Brianna and Mrs. Jo are amazing! They provide breakfast and care long enough for us to work full-time. They’ve also been great about keeping us informed, live video feeds and pictures for Mommas, and a real soccer coach at school so he gets his energy out. We couldn’t be happier !”

“We absolutely love SFF Cary. It was really hard sending our first child to a daycare in the middle of the pandemic and now years later, it feels like the teachers are family. Wouldn't trade it for the world. I am so thankful our children get to be surrounded by loving, fun and strong Hispanic women during these very important years!”

“Both of my children have attended Goddard since we moved to North Carolina. Our younger one started in the infant room and is now getting ready to graduate to kindergarten! We have been very happy with the school and truly appreciate the care, attention, and dedication shown by all of the teachers.

Our kids especially loved the Lionheart Fitness Program with Coach Godfrey, and we’ve really enjoyed the family events and festivals hosted by the school. These activities made the experience even more special for our family.”

“The Growing Years Learning Center has been an outstanding experience for children and families. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the warm, nurturing, and welcoming environment they have created. The staff is caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth and development.

Their programs for children are thoughtfully designed to encourage learning, creativity, social skills, and confidence at every stage. The classrooms are engaging, well-organized, and provide a safe space where children can explore, learn, and thrive.

What stands out most is the dedication of the teachers and staff. They communicate well with parents, celebrate each child’s milestones, and create meaningful learning experiences every day. It’s clear that they are passionate about early childhood education and helping children build a strong foundation for future success.

I highly recommend The Growing Years Learning Center to any family looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching childcare experience. It’s a place where children are truly cared for and encouraged to grow into their best selves.”

“I would recommend this location over & over again. Both Liz and Shadeia are so patient and loving to my daughter who has had a hard time adjusting to daycare. She now looks forward to going just to see her teachers and friends, her teachers give me peace of mind everyday I drop her off.”

“We have been at all starz a little under a year and have had such great experiences with the teachers and staff. Our little one is thriving and we are grateful. From the daily lunches, to fun activities, our child is never bored.”

“My child has learned a lot since attending the program. I appreciate the educational curriculum, the caring teachers, and the opportunities for social interaction with other children. The daily reports and updates help me stay informed about my child's activities and development.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at L’Academy! My 4-year-old is thriving in the Spanish Pre-K class, and my 2-year-old is absolutely flourishing in the Spanish Twos program. From day one, it’s been clear that this school is something special.
The teachers for both of our children are incredibly warm, kind, and patient. They’ve built such a trusting bond with my kids, making them excited to walk through the doors each morning. My 2-year-old’s teachers have been wonderfully supportive with potty training, while gently introducing ABCs, numbers, early writing skills, and beautiful bilingual learning that we’re seeing blossom at home too. It’s amazing to watch such young learners soak up so much in a nurturing environment.
My 4-year-old’s Spanish Pre-K teacher has done an outstanding job preparing him for kindergarten. The focus on readiness skills, combined with that same patience and care, has given us total confidence that he’s building a strong foundation. Both teachers genuinely work so well with our children and celebrate their individual progress every step of the way.
Director Laura deserves special recognition—she is sweet, wonderful, and truly invested in every child and family. She’s always accommodating, approachable, and makes sure parents feel heard and supported. Her leadership creates the warm, family-like atmosphere that makes L’Academy stand out.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this gem. If you’re looking for a loving, high-quality preschool with excellent bilingual immersion and caring educators, I can’t recommend L’Academy enough. We’re grateful every single day!”

“We are Primrose of Cary parents. We relocated from NJ and loved our Primrose experience there. Primrose of Cary exceeded our expectations. We were very worried, as this was the first move for our daughter and we were concerned how she would adjust to a new daycare. For a child who does not do well with change, the staff at primrose welcomed her and made helped her transition and make new friends. Ms. Lovey is fantastic and was our daughter’s first friend. She loves Ms. April’s cooking and asks for it for dinner too. They have truly become an extension of our family. There is always a warm welcome for us when we walk into the doors. Our family is ready to grow, and we are looking forward to our baby enjoying the care at Primrose.”

“An amazing school. My son adjusted so well even though he is very clingy to me. The teachers welcome him in in every classroom he enters . They are very curriculum heavy which I love. His teachers Ms. Maddison and Ms. Makenzie get a special shout out for their hard work and attitude. Very nurturing and educated. Although change is inevitable in every industry, admin always keeps us update and does check ins on how my son is adjusting. I’m a helicopter mom but I trust this school and the staff. Infant teachers are also wonderful! Highly recommend.”

“They have a wonderful before and after program as well as summer camp!

My son enjoyed the activities they offered and Ms. Suzanne is honestly great!

I definitely recommend if you have an older child. My other child attended for a little while but it was not the right fit for her. She was a lot younger and I felt the instructor in her toddler class was not as emotionally empathetic for her to be in that class.

Overall we have been a part of the Kindercare family for a few years and I definitely recommend the before and aftercare program as well as there summer camp program.

“High quality center with teachers who individualize learning for each child and truly care. It is well maintained and clean. They provide excellent communication and ensure safety.”

“Everybody is so loving here! All the teachers and management have a great heart. It is so reassuring to leave your kids in a place you know they are taking well care of them <3”

“My little one just graduated from WPSS, and I truly believe it’s the best preschool you could ask for. All the staff and teachers are incredibly thoughtful and kind. Director Nichole, along with Ms. Jamie, Ms. Myra, Ms. Hannah, Ms. Tacia, and Mr. Andrew, have been amazing throughout our journey. We couldn’t be happier with our experience at WPSS!”

“We love Primrose of West Cary! Our children attend now, in the young toddler room and the 4yr old room, and all of the teachers are incredible. My son loves Ms. King, Tanisha, and Padilla, and he extra specially loves Mr. Shepherd! They do such fun projects that incorporate developmentally appropriate curriculum and my son loves to talk about the things he’s learning through play. The teachers also obviously use productive guidance for correcting behaviors and you can just tell they love the kids and want the best for them.

My daughter’s teachers Ms. Fountain and Ms. Mathenge are also both incredible women who work with the toddlers. My daughter has no hesitation when we drop her off, she’s excited to spend the day with her friends and teachers, too. The exploration and play in her room is well rounded and it’s obvious that they’re helping the kids meet milestones AND have a blast. You can also tell how much these teachers pour into caring for the kids. I know my daughter is loved from the moment she arrives to the minute she leaves!

We’re very happy with the programs, the lunch and snack options, and the teachers and staff. Thank you all for being part of our village!”

“We love the hands-on teachers at Bright Horizons Clubhouse. This is a place where they engage and nurture your child and meet them where your child is at. All the staff know my son's name and they all create a very welcoming environment for him. There are also lots of extra educational services offered that we have enjoyed. I've been to several schools due to multiple kids and moving as a family, and I think this is a very well ran program -- from safety, to emotional intelligence teaching, to simply having fun, there is a balance of all of it.”

“The Grove is such a lovely school and our sons have been so lucky to be there. We've had some negative experiences at other schools in the area and going there has truly been a breath of fresh air in comparison. The whole staff is supportive, caring, communicative, and interactive. As a mom, it's been a relief to send my kids somewhere where I truly believe that the experience they have on a daily basis is better than we could give them at home. We are constantly marveling at the organization and creativity that goes into the lesson plans. There is a lot of outdoor time and the facilities are nice and well taken care of. The school feels calm, joyful, and caring every day. The communication is thorough and proactive. We've really been grateful for our experience there.”

“We have enjoyed our time at Kindercare Kildare Farms! Our son has had so much fun in the infant classroom. All the teachers cultivate a nurturing and fun environment for our little one. Every single person at this daycare greet me and my son with a big smile every single day.”

“I cannot say enough great things about this daycare. I’m a first time mom and my daughter has been here since she was 3 months old (a year ago) and I was a nervous wreck leaving her. Ana, the director, is kind and an amazing leader. Her teachers truly love to be there and treat the children as their own. They are constantly engaged in enriching activities, and parents get frequent updates. The food they are served is healthy and smells/looks like something you would get at a nice restaurant. The owner even gave me a call when I was searching for a daycare and nervous about leaving her. You can tell he really cares about his centers. My daughter truly loves it here!”

“All three of my kids have gone to CTK, and we've been a part of this amazing community for the past seven years. Beth, the director is incredible and so good at what she does. The teachers have all been so kind and loving and really treat each of the kids as their own. My kids have all absolutely loved their time and have always been so excited to go each day.”

“PCA is the best of the best. Truly staffed with the most caring, kind, educated, and dedicated staff from the owner, directors, and teachers. We drove from North Raleigh to Cary for 4 years after moving homes because of the trust we have in PCA and the quality of care and education provided. We researched and toured dozens of centers and still could not find anything that matched PCA. Our two children experienced all levels of care from the infant room through Pre-K and we had the same positive experience across the board. Lead teacher retention is unlike other centers which speaks to how the center is managed. I sobbed many times when we left PCA and I consider the staff our coparents and friends. They’re the best!”

“New to town and OVA is one of the best decisions I made for my child. I toured at least 8-10 different daycares and did Discovery Day at 2 other locations and I cannot tell you the night and day difference I felt when I was at OVA. Admin is a well-oiled machine!! Communication is always clear and smooth and they are kind and compassionate as well. Facilities are truly top notch. There is no other daycare that has classrooms and outdoor areas like OVA. Did I mention how they spend much of their day outdoors? Children NEED to be outdoors and playing!!! Last but not least, the teachers are what made me ultimately choose OVA. Absolutely phenomenal. They are so good with the children, engaging, and even the support staff, wow. Shoutout to the AMAZING toddler teachers: Brianna, Maria, Sofia, and Roba. They care so much about the little ones and care for them like their own. I will admit that prices are on the higher side but it is worth every penny. I’m absolutely obsessed with OVA!!”

“I love Mrs Nesha she very attentive to my child's education. He has showed so much improvement. He was so well prepared for kindergarten. He well above others his age academically, socially . Thank Mrs Nesha ??”

“The teachers, the staff, and the families are what make this place so special! Both of our kids had a hard time adjusting to school since they had previously stayed home with me (3 and 1 1/2). However, the teachers’ open communication and genuine care for our children helped them adjust quicker than we thought they would. Every time you step into the building you just feel good knowing your children are there - everyone knows your child by name, the classrooms are set up in a Montessori style, as they reach 2-3 they begin to make choices for themselves, participate in care for the classroom, they build healthy friendships, develop emotional awareness, etc etc etc. We feel indebted to this place for our children’s personal growth. We unfortunately have to move so we pulled them out at 4 and 2. We would’ve kept both until kindergarten if possible. Our family’s favorites are Ms. Kathryn, Ms. Zoe, Ms. Victoria, Ms. India, Ms. Sarah, Mr. Brandon, Ms. Tiffany, Ms. Lavender (also known as Ms-a-lavender via our daughter lol), Ms. Celeste, and Ms. Kamiah. We love Bright Horizons at Harrison Park!”

“My daughter has been going to this Kindercare location for the last 2 years. The teachers and staff are warm , caring and love what they do.
My daughter made new friends and we are grateful for the caring environment !!”

“Cary Knowledge Beginnings is just one of those places you enter and feel at home.I toured most daycares but this one just stood out for me and it did not disappoint.From the immediate and prompt communication,fun family activities,welcoming smiles...They have an awesome Before and After school program for school age kids with transportation to and from neighbouring schools.Majority of daycares in Cary dont have transportation!!!!The bus times are always prompt at drop off and pick up so no tardiness.Their buses have seat belts.The school is neat,kiddos are fed snacks after school and a teacher helps them with homework and playtime.Moreso,they take in the kids during early release days and teacher workdays with no extra charges which is amazing.It is truly feels like a safe place for our priceless possessions.Thankyou Mrs Shae and team,we truly feel the love and we truly appreciate you guys.”

“Helped our son go from getting having constant issues in preschool to being ready for public school! We love this place and everyone who works here is very kind.”
