“Our son had a great experience at SFF’s Duraleigh location! He was there for about 10 months in the toddler class before moving up to the Glenwood location. All of the teachers and staff were so nice, professional, and sweet with the kids. Very happy to have him part of SFF!”

“My grandchildren are currently enrolled at Childworks, and they enjoy every moment of it! The entire staff is kind, patient, and genuinely engaged with the children.

One of my favorite things about Childworks is the communication. The app they use keeps families updated with daily photos, learning activities, and even what the children are eating. It gives me peace of mind and helps me feel connected to my granddaughters’ day, even when I can’t be there. I’m so grateful my daughter found a place that truly feels like a second home for them.”

“Mrs. Alétia, the owner of the KéKAY Method Preschool is SO SPECIAL! She's passionate about the programs offered and REALLY CARES about the children and their families! She is a BLESSING and my 4 yr old expressed her love for the school and Mr. Dave one of the teachers after attending for 1 day! THE KéKAY Method is the way! Please share and spread the word! Hope to meet you soon! - A Passionate Mama ? ??”

“Wonderful preschool with caring teachers like Mrs Nikki and the others and a welcoming environment. My daughter has learned so much and loves going every day. We are very happy with our experience and highly recommend it!”

“I was recommended this place by a professional detailer in Raleigh and I am incredibly thankful for that recommendation.

I drove over some freshly splattered paint from a bucket that fell off the back of a truck two days prior. White paint splashed up in a few spots on my brand-new, black car. Majestic had a product called Double D that took it off the tires, wheel wells, and the paint itself without doing any damage. A can of that, a spray bottle, and a few microfibers only ran me $30.

Everyone at the shop was friendly and helpful. They have their products available to test, which the employee did- showing me that it would work on my car before I bought it.

Overall, a great experience. Highly recommended!”

“As first time parents, we were anxious about putting our son in daycare, but we have been thrilled with our experience at Children's Lighthouse of Raleigh. The teachers in Room 1(Christina & Cortney) were incredible and super caring to our infant. As he has transitioned into Room 2, we have enjoyed watching our little guy grow and learn with the awesome teachers Amanda & Sam. Everyone in the building knows his name and says hello! Leadership is also very helpful and responsive. Shoutout Erin, Cammie & Sierra!”

“We made the decision to move our 1 year old son from another center and it was the best decision we made.
Mrs. Amy and Ms. Hannah have been a true gift from God for our family. Their warmth, genuine love and care for the kiddos, and also commitment to teaching in the classroom is incredible. We are so grateful!! There has never been a second that we questioned our decision to transfer centers. Thank you!”

“Both my kids attended Little Leaf and loved the experience! We loved the outdoor/indoor learning and the small community feel. Ms. Myra and Monea are amazing with the kids and made the preschool journey so special. Both were well prepared for kindergarten. Thank you Little Leaf!”

“We could not be happier with our experience at Highwoods KinderCare. From the very beginning, the staff has been incredibly warm, caring, and attentive, and it’s clear how much they genuinely love and care for the children.

One of the biggest comforts as a parent is knowing your child is safe, happy, and truly cared for — and that’s exactly how we feel every day. The teachers are patient, nurturing, and communicative, and they create such a positive and engaging environment for the kids to learn and grow.

It’s not easy trusting someone else with your child, but the team at Highwoods has exceeded every expectation we had. We are beyond grateful for the love, support, and dedication they show every single day. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for exceptional childcare.”

“I was led to this daycare a year ago and I thank God every day! I needed to place my 5 month old son asap and this was not only the first daycare on my list but the only one to have a slot available. I was able to tour the next day and fell in love IMMEDIATELY! I remember it smelling good, feeling warm, inviting, and calm. My son let everyone hold him and didn’t bat an eye. The first month was rough for me because he didn't acknowledge me at all at pick up or drop off! Here we are a year later and he still loves it. I also have new little one there now and she settled in seamlessly as well. I love the way they love on and teach my babies! The communication is great! They are extremely reliable! The care is AMAZING! I like that it is a small facility and that my children aren't two of many. I HIGHLY recommend Brighthaven Academy every chance a I get!”

“Two of our boys studied in TBOP, we wish they could continue there, it is a great place for kids to learn and thrive! We moved to NC a year ago from a country out of the USA, the kids went there without knowing any English and didn’t had a single friend, thanks to the great team of teachers the kids were thrilled to go to pre-school every day. We can’t be thankful enough for a place like TBOP.”

“I absolutely love this daycare! My son is two now, and he’s been attending since he was about six months old. Stepping out of my comfort zone and choosing this center was the best decision I’ve made. The staff is amazing — caring, patient, and always on top of communication. They keep families involved with little events, raffles, and updates, which I really appreciate.

All of the teachers are wonderful, and I especially want to shout out Miss Erica, the director — she truly goes above and beyond for the kids and the parents. This is a childcare center you can trust and feel good about every single day. Highly recommend!”

“With the new direction and leadership under Ms Katrina and Ms Siri, we have seen a huge improvement in the school's curriculum, and environment in general. They are going above and beyond to keep the school clean and have now provided some of the best teaching materials, toys, and supplies for the kids to learn creatively and actively. My children are learning things about science, arts, and hands on motor skills, and I've seen visible improvement and results in their cognitive thinking skills. Great school!!”

“Miss Shaneek Hill and Miss Bailey and their team of loving and kind education centered teachers are A GOD-Send!
They are truly what any parent could ask for In looking for a preschool based daycare, this center is truly the best!”

“As parents, there is nothing more important to us than knowing our child is safe, cared for, and surrounded by people we can truly trust. That is exactly what we have found at La Petite Academy.

From day one, Tecia and Ashleigh have created an environment that feels organized, attentive, and genuinely focused on the well-being of every child. They are warm, communicative, and create a positive environment, but what stands out most is the confidence they inspire as parents. We always feel informed, welcomed, and reassured that our child is in good hands.

Safety is clearly a top priority throughout the school. One moment that really stayed with us was during a hectic pickup time when severe weather rolled through unexpectedly. When I got there I was relieved to see that rather than allowing things to become chaotic, the staff calmly organized the children, kept everyone safely inside and accounted for, and still managed to keep the kids smiling and entertained with songs and playful activities while other parents also arrived. It was such a strong reflection of the culture there: safety always comes first, but never at the expense of warmth, comfort, or joy for the children.

Miss Judy has been an incredible teacher and such an important part of our child’s growth and happiness. She is kind, attentive, and it is obvious how deeply she cares about her students. She takes the time to make each child feel seen and valued in their own unique way, whether through little personal touches, encouragement, or simply knowing exactly how to make them feel comfortable and confident. Our child absolutely adores her, and it is easy to understand why.

What we appreciate most about La Petite Academy is the trust they have earned from our family. As parents, there is no greater peace of mind than dropping your child off each day knowing they are safe, genuinely cared for, and loved by the people around them. We are incredibly grateful for the entire team and would highly recommend La Petite Academy to any family looking for a nurturing and trustworthy environment for their children.”

“Wonderful facility! The staff is caring, professional, and truly treats every child like family. The facility is always clean, safe, and welcoming, and communication with parents is excellent. The Director, Mrs. Richardson is such a joy & we love her open door policy. My child has learned so much socially and academically since attending here. It gives me peace of mind knowing my child is happy, loved, and well cared for every day. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing and trustworthy environment for their little one!”

“This preschool is truly exceptional, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about it. From the very first day, every single person, from the directors to the teachers—has been warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. You can immediately feel that this is a place where children are genuinely loved and cared for, not just supervised.

The staff consistently go above and beyond to ensure each child feels safe, valued, and supported. They take the time to get to know every child’s personality, needs, and strengths, which creates such a nurturing and personalized environment. It’s clear that this isn’t just a job for the; it’s something they truly care about. Many of the teachers have been with the school for years, which speaks volumes about the positive, stable environment they provide.

The facility itself is always spotless, well-organized, and thoughtfully set up for young learners. There’s a strong sense of structure, but also plenty of room for creativity and fun. The children are engaged in a wide variety of activities throughout the day that encourage learning, imagination, social skills, and independence. Every child is included, encouraged, and given the opportunity to thrive.

The playground is absolutely lovely with nice updated play structures, well-maintained, and full of fun options for the kids to explore, play, and burn off energy. It’s clear that outdoor time is just as valued as classroom learning, which is so important at this age.

What really stands out is the positive atmosphere. The teachers and staff are always smiling, patient, and full of energy. It creates such a happy, uplifting environment that kids actually look forward to being there each day.

Another thing that makes this preschool so special is how they involve families throughout the year. They host thoughtful events and activities that bring parents and children together, creating a true sense of community. It’s such a joy to be included and to share in those special moments.

It’s also worth noting that this high-quality care comes at a very reasonable price, making it accessible for many families without compromising on the incredible experience your child receives.

As a parent, there is no better feeling than knowing your child is in a safe, loving place where they are not only cared for but also growing and learning in meaningful ways. It brings so much peace of mind.

Another beautiful aspect of this preschool is the way they gently incorporate faith into the children’s daily experience. Teaching young children about God at this age can be incredibly meaningful for many families, and here it’s done in such a thoughtful and age-appropriate way. It helps build a strong foundation of kindness, gratitude, love, and compassion—supporting not only spiritual growth, but emotional and social development as well.

I highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a nurturing, engaging, and loving environment for their child. And if there is a waitlist, it is absolutely worth waiting for—your child will be in excellent hands.”

“Absolutely love Spanish for Fun! From day one, my kids have thrived in this nurturing, engaging environment. The teachers are amazing—attentive, patient, and truly invested in each child. My little one walks in every day excited to learn and speak Spanish, gaining confidence rapidly.

Five stars, hands down! I wholeheartedly recommend Spanish for Fun to any parent who wants their child to flourish.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this daycare and its teachers. From the very first day, they have shown genuine care, patience, and dedication to my child’s growth and happiness. Every teacher goes above and beyond to make sure the kids feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

The communication is excellent, the environment is warm and welcoming, and I can see the positive impact it has on my son every single day. Knowing he is surrounded by such kind, skilled, and attentive educators gives me complete peace of mind.

I truly would not choose any other daycare — this is the best decision we could have made for our family.”

“We really love the Goddard School 5401 North! Our baby looks forward to coming to daycare every day, and the staff is incredibly caring. The curriculum is top-notch, and we’ve seen amazing growth in our daughter, not only academically, but also in her social and motor skills. If you’re looking for a place that gives you peace of mind knowing your child is in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, this is it!”

“So incredibly thrilled with our son’s experience at Asbury Preschool! We have seen him grow in his knowledge of foundational skills and the teachers and staff go out of their way to make learning fun! We highly recommend it!”

“My baby recently started in the Nido room, and the teacher and on-site admin made everything smooth and very easy to understand. Everyone was super nice, and my baby had a great first day.”

“Our child attended primrose at brier creek from ages 1.5 to 5. We always felt safe having them take care of our child. They made great friends with other children and staff. Thanks for taking such good care of all of us over the years.”

“This is the best place for little ones! The team there is so professional and loves our babies like they're their own. I highly recommend Primrose School of Hilburn!”

“My daughter went through them starting at age 3 till almost 5 for occupational, speech, and social/behavioral (for a lack of a better term) therapy. My daughter had essentially no functional language at 3 only repetition when instructed and by 5 was speaking like every other child her age. The therapy we received with them was honestly life changing and we loved all the providers especially roymi our case manager and behavioral therapist! She was so sweet and cared so much about our child and was always happy to answer my silly questions and take my calls.”

“Just a small sampling of the many things you can do here. I have so much fun. This is my happy place as an adult. Imagine how much fun the kids have with their many programs! Summer camp time!”

“Our son has been attending Kindercare since March and we absolutely LOVE IT! The center is filled with wonderful and caring staff! Our son had to adjust to starting daycare but they have been very patient with him, while also providing amazing comfort! We will always love and recommend this center!!!!! Shouts out to all the amazing teachers, and especially Mrs. Von, Mrs. Lisa, Mrs. Michelle and Ms. Kimberley!”

“We love it here! Both of my boys have had incredible teachers every year we’ve been here. They learn so much and I always know they’re happy, safe and loved.”

“The manager, Miss Katrina is a angel and Miss Candace and Miss Courtney are love and kindness in human form, their team of loving and kind education centered teachers are A GOD-Send!
They are truly what any parent could ask for In looking for a preschool based daycare, this center is truly the best!”
