Schools in Durham, NC

“Global Montessori has been a great school for our kids; we have been there for about three years so far. The teachers have always been so caring and I have been impressed with their commitment to teaching the children not only practical skills but also academic skills at every age. We have been pleased with all of the teachers and staff at the school, and our kids truly enjoy all of the activities each day. We have experienced that the Montessori work that they teach allows the kids to master concepts in math, language, science, and nature and gives them confidence in themselves. We are so thankful to be part of this school community!”

“Our family's experience at Wildflower Cottage has been nothing short of wonderful. Our eldest girl started there in 2019 and her younger sister joined a couple of years later. We've seen them thrive in a space that perfectly marries play with learning. The nearby forest became their magical playground, and every day they'd return home with stories of adventures and new discoveries. The facilities, with their kid-friendly design, made them feel instantly at ease. The standout for us, though, has been the teachers. They're not just educators; they're attentive, caring, and truly invested in each child's growth. Wildflower's emphasis on nature, combined with the added touches like mindfulness, sets it apart. But it's not just about the learning. There's a sense of community here that's hard to find elsewhere. As we move on to the next phase, we can't help but feel a twinge of sadness. Thank you, Wildflower, for the memories, the growth, and the care.”

“If you’re looking for a preschool to send your baby to, this is definitely the one! It will set your little one up for success! From the team of Directors - Mr. Mehul & Ms Tammy to Ms. Vasquez, Ms.Tonya, Ms. Myka, they have all made a great impact on my little one and she has loved being at Goddard since she was 2 years old! I love that they take the time to learn your child individually and have a set plan for your child’s specific direction, and how they’re progressing through each phase/transition. We appreciate you all ”

“I can honestly say I appreciate the staff at Childcare Network #166 so much. Both of my sons have been going here for almost 2 years. Yvonne and the rest of the staff are patient. You can tell they really care about the development and wellbeing of the kids. My youngest son has medical emergencies occasionally and they are always knowledgeable, calming, and reassuring in the moment.The school is also in a great location-- quiet and conveniently close to my oldest son's school (which is great because they do after school pick up!!)I'm so thankful that my children go here and they will continue to until they can't anymore ?”

“My child attends Childcare Network, I love this place and so does my child. As a single parent I deeply appreciate the staff being nice and caring, and the Director of CN really cares about the children. The staff is extremely friendly, absolutely amazing. If I could give this daycare 10 stars I would.My daughter always happy, excited and smiling when I come to pick her up. The cleanliness, friendliness and security at Childcare Network is outstanding. The director took the time out to help me get over my daycare scares, she walked and talked me through every question that I had. When I took the tour and came with my questions they ani them before I could even ask them. Thanks Miss O yours amazing and keep up the great work.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“We moved to Durham for the summer and we’re so thankful to find this place for our 1 and 3 year old daughters. My 3 year old especially loved this place and her teachers. We were made to feel welcome from the very first moment till our very last day. The team there have built a tremendous culture which I felt contributed greatly into positively developing my children during their time in North Carolina. The facilities are superb. We enjoyed the space during a recent Fall Fesfival and could see the outdoor space was a kids paradise. Thank you so much for taking great care of our children and for all the love and kindness shown by you all.”

“As a first time Mom, I was nervous with finding the right daycare for my son. Childcare Network Staff on Ruby Street, has been fantastic. They have put me at ease, answered all my questions, and are taking great care of my baby!”

“Catherine, the director, along with the staff have created a wonderful community. We are thankful and fortunate for all the growth our daughter experienced at the North Durham Bright Horizons.”

“My son absolutely LOVES this daycare! It takes a lot to get him to open up but he has really gotten comfortable here! He is learning g so much as well. Yesterday he showed me how to write his ABC and 123 with no help! This school is amazing and I high recommend enrolling here!”

“I brought my daughter to KinderCare as an infant. It was the first place she had been aside from home after my maternity leave, and I was so nervous -- but everyone who worked there was so warm, kind, and supportive. The infant teachers were fantastic and took such good care of her, and the teachers for the toddlers and up also knew her and always would say hi to me when I came to pick her up. We ultimately had to change daycares due to moving because it would have added 40 minutes to my work commute every day to stay there. I was so sad to leave. Highly recommend them to anyone who is considering a daycare for their little one :)”

“We love Bright Horizons at RTP. I’ve had two children at this center and have been going to this center since 2017. We have loved the teachers and admin as well as their outdoor play space. No other daycare we visited had this much outdoor play space and such dedication to kids playing outdoors. We also love the chef and that freshly prepared, healthy meals are made each day in a full kitchen.”

“My two had attended 4 different schools before we found the right place for them. This experience at Kids R Kids has been top tier. Our oldest attends the afterschool program and he loves spending time with his friends. Our youngest has the sweetest team and that makes this whole journey that much easier. & the best part is, the school doesn’t smell like diapers ?. It smells absolutely amazing when you walk in. It’s a warm welcoming feeling everyday, and everyone speaks. The teachers are always cleaning and keeping the room organized. We highly recommend and wish we had chosen this school years ago. We don’t use the cameras (well, I did once) but it’s a nice perk. Our daughter has learned a lot and met great friends.”

“We recently moved and my husband and me miss this daycare so much. All the staff have been so warm and loving to our 2 children. Our toddler thrived here and loved coming to school. Wonderful staff. Very effective curriculums.”

“We are very impressed with the quality and safety La Petite Academy of Durham provides since daycares have opened back up. Ms Renee greets us at the door each morning with a smile and welcoming arms. After a few mornings of apprehension our 2 yr old son now runs right in after his temperature check ready to paint, read and have tons of fun. We love seeing what he is eating and what is happening through the day with the brightwheel app and love the pictures/videos which are posted each day. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful place, we highly recommend La Petite Academy!”
