Schools near Linden, NC

“The staff here are kind and understanding. They take the time to understand each child and their needs and will do everything in their power to keep them engaged. I am kept apprised through the app and can communicate with the center easily. I enjoy the picture updates as well as seeing what my son does/eats every day. I was skeptical at first at sending my son here because it didn’t seem as large or high tech as some other schools or centers in the area. But I have been very happy with the results that I see every day. The playground is sand - changing that would be my only recommendation.”

“NTA is the best private christian school in Fayetteville, NC. My review is based on both being a parent and employee. I have been here for 19 yrs and I thought I would only be working here until my daughter graduated, but this has become my family and I believe in the mission and ministry which is why I am still here. If you are looking for a school family to nurture your children and provide an excellent Christ centered education focused around excellence then Northwood Temple Academy is the place for you. Come by and see us today!”

“Cozy Corner has exceeded our expectations! We have a 3 year old in the toddler room and a 4 year old in the Pre-K program with before and after school care. The facility is secure; parents must enter a code on the keypad to enter. The parking lot is HUGE and drop-offs or pick-ups are a BREEZE because of how conveniently located the facility is right by a stop light. Every teacher, even in the various rooms, knows each child by name and can recognize who their parent is. The facility is spacious with multiple rooms and is always clean. Every toy or piece of equipment has a spot it belongs in so everything remains organized. For how many small children they have in the facility, the bathrooms are always astonishing clean! The teachers in my children’s classes, especially Ms. Danyielle, Ms. Kima, & Mr. Antonio, are knowledgeable, experienced, personable, friendly, and loving to my children. They push my kids to be the best version they can be, behavior wise and intellectually. They give fair and honest assessments to the parents without sugar coating anything. My favorite things about Cozy Corner are the frequent field trips for the Pre-K students, the monthly classroom events or programs, the award ceremonies, the health and wellness checks and the consistent interaction between the teachers and parents. The teachers consistently have classroom parties or events that the parents can be involved in. The drop-off routine consists of going to the bathroom & washing hands. The teachers then take the kids to brush their teeth & perform a wellness check. I LOVE THAT! My kids love going to school everyday, so much that every morning they run up to their teachers and give them a hug before the start of the day. The only downside I would honestly say about Cozy Corner is 3 things: the playground, a certain teacher in the infant room, and the sign-in/out procedures. The playground is in desperate need of upgrading; it is covered in sand and the equipment is subpar and old. My kids come home almost everyday with an excessive amount of sand in their shoes. I wish the playground had the rubber ground, or maybe the mulch or just grass. In regards to one of the infant teachers, I don’t know who she is but every time I see her she is always yelling. Maybe she just speaks naturally loud but she always sounds like she has an bad attitude when speaking to the kids. Regarding the sign-in/out, it’s just a piece of paper by the entrance. There is no one there enforcing the sign-in/out procedures to make sure parents do what they are suppose to which I know is a requirement by the State to have proper logs filled out every single day. The teachers probably check the logs later on to ensure all their kids are signed in or out, and if not probably do it themselves but I think better measures need to be put in place to ensure the children are properly tracked and accounted for when entering and exiting the building at all times. Most facilities I have experienced utilize a key fob/card that you swipe or scan to sign kids in and out at a front desk that is manned at all times to monitor those entering and exiting the building. I know that comes with a price tag, but for the safety of the kids it’s well worth it. All in all, GREAT facility, great teachers, great interactive learning programs, great rates! I’m very happy with this school and will keep my kids enrolled as long as we live in the area!”
