Schools in Raleigh, NC

“We all love KeKay Method. My son adapted to the teachers and program very quickly and he is constantly having so much fun and learning great things there. This method is so engaging and tailored to your child.”

“This is my first job in childcare & i don’t plan on leaving! I’ve been at Childcare Network for almost 2 years & it has been the best experience. Ms. E is the best management that I’ve ever worked for & is always available to help us succeed!”

“Our children love attending the school and interacting with everyone at the facility (not just their teachers). The staff is incredibly loving, nurturing, and committed to providing top-notch care. The level of education, programs, and engagement they offer is outstanding, and it's so rewarding to see the excitement that our children bring home following the lessons/programs. It’s more accurate to call it a school than a daycare, despite catering to infants and toddlers. The director and her staff also do an exceptional job liaising both internal and external communication in addition to operational duties, providing us with comfort and support as partners in our children's development.”

“My kids have been going here for a few months and it’s been a great experience. The staff is very communicative through their mobile app. I get photos and messages throughout the day letting me know what they’ve done and what they ate. They’re right across the street from North Ridge Elementary and they pick up one of my kids after school and provide aftercare. This way I can pick them both up from the same place. Very happy to recommend.”

“This place is amazing! The Director is very personable and truly cares about our children’s safety and knowledge. My son has been going there since he was 3 months and is now 1 and every teacher has been amazing. They keep me updated throughout the day with notes and pictures and every now and then a sweet little FaceTime call ? Him being happy seeing his teachers makes me happy and it reassures me that he trusts them.”

“I am a diy type of person. I was a little intimidated the first time I visited the store. However, the staff made me very comfortable in asking questions, or when they gave me advice.”

“We have two children at Lighthouse - a toddler and infant. While teacher turn over has been high in the toddler rooms, the directors and owner are doing their best to find good, stable, and consistent teachers. Communication regarding teacher changes could always be better, but after touring several other daycares, high teacher turn-over is an on-going problem within the daycare setting and a situation that I'm hoping is temporary as Lighthouse grows with experience. Regardless, our toddler loves going to “school” each day and is eager to come home and tell us all about the fun things she’s been doing! She especially loves the “music lady” who plays guitar for the class, yoga, and the outdoor playground.We have been extremely pleased with the care our infant has been receiving in the infant 1 room. The teachers are kind and caring and truly care about taking care of our baby. They update the app almost immediately with all cares given and send several pictures during the day. Our baby is happy, loved, and well rested and we couldn’t be more pleased!The camera app is awesome. After touring several day cares, I noticed that the cameras weren’t always included. It’s nice to be able to check in several times during the day to see the kids.”

“Spanish for fun has been an amazing preschool for my son. With lots of transitions going on in his life they have been a solid and consistent support as he prepares for kindergarten. Not to mention their immersion program is amazing and highly effective.Every teacher and staff member takes the time to get to know every student/kids and they care for the children as if they were their own.Highly recommended!!!”

“This daycare has been a Godsend. I didn't trust anyone with my child and had many fears of him being neglected or hurt. I did so much research and, finally, discovered this place. Our son was on a wait-list and it was worth the wait. My son has attended daycare at this location for several years, this being his last year before Kindergarten. The staff is like our family. The curriculum is excellent and my son has gained confidence in himself here, becoming more social and less intimidated / shy. I am so happy to leave this review and wish the staff members and future attendees all the success and love this world has to offer.”

“My son just finished pre K here and we were so lucky to have this school as his home away from home! He had amazing teachers and admin was always nice and welcoming. We miss La Petite!”

“My almost 2 year old daughter started here a few months ago. I was worried to put her in any daycare. After going to many facilities, i ended up at KinderCare and I fell in love with it. From the way the classrooms are set up to the curriculum. I have seen a tremendous growth in her. She has a connection with all of the teachers. Grateful for the people here.”

“I'm having a wonderful experience at this daycare! Julie and Taylor are absolutely fantastic with my daughter. They create such a warm and nurturing environment, and I feel completely at ease leaving my child in their care. They're attentive, patient, and always go above and beyond to ensure that the kids are happy and engaged. I couldn't be happier with the level of care and attention my daughter receives here. Highly recommend!Update: As I previously mentioned, this facility has some great individuals working here. However, it becomes a problem when staff cannot answer your questions or simply respond with "I don’t know." Additionally, I have had calls several times a week because the staff, instead of asking my child what the problem is, call me since they are not able to calm down my child due to her being hungry, tired, hot or all three.The reason for this update is the call I received last Wednesday, which led me to decide to remove my child from the facility. My child repeatedly tells me she doesn’t want to go to her teacher's room. The next morning, she demonstrated that this same teacher twisted her fingers. I have also heard from others that this teacher has pulled on a student's shirt, and I myself have heard this teacher's voice from the back of the building to the front.I am decreasing my rating because I have made multiple complaints, yet nothing has been done. The facility continues to allow this teacher to remain in the classroom, despite the fact that the children today are more advanced and outspoken than when I was growing up. If the staff cannot handle this, it would be best for them to switch classrooms or find another position within the facility.”

“We have been at TCP with multiple children for 7 years now. We love the care they provide. The smaller, personal setting is amazing where you can get to know the staff and they can really get to know your family as well. All of the teachers have the children’s best interests in mind and the administrators are top notch!”

“The best camp in the Raleigh area, and honestly the entire State. This camp shows how cool Science, and Engineering is, and is a great inspiration for both kids and adults. The caring staff members truly make a difference, emphasizing hands-on activities. I have been to other science camps, and you can really tell that Smile camp puts much more into actually teaching, and creating interest, compared to other camps, and lets campers take home so much of what they work on/create in camp. Many of the employees are actually ex campers that wanted to come back and help out around camp. This really shows how great this place is to me. When they come out with their programs for adults, I would highly encourage you to check them out, as I have seen what they are planning to do, and it looks like a ton of fun. The owners of the camp, Roger, and Karen are some of the nicest people I have met. I would recommend any of the best smile camps for those who are new to smile camp. Finally, the liquid nitrogen ice cream on Fridays, at the end of camp is super cool (lol) and makes really nice tasting ice cream.”

“Love this daycare! My son has been going to this center for the past 5 months and he has made some amazing progress in many areas. Ms. Janesta, the center director has done some amazing improvements and she is such an amazing person and I am forever grateful for the entire team at this center. Center is very clean and price is competitive with other centers in the area.”

Well, we found our village in Guidepost Montessori at Spruce Tree.As Type A parents who went above and beyond in our search for the perfect school for our little one, they have exceeded our expectations. This isn't just a place to park your child while you work, this is a loving community, dedicated to the education, growth, and support of every child in their classrooms.The teachers are passionate educators and guides with grace, passion, and dedication. The administrators are dedicated to ensuring you and your child have a wonderful experience at the school, and that any needs or concerns are addressed promptly and fairly. All of the teachers and administrators treat you and your child as members of their community, not just paying customers.Our little one absolutely LOVES going to school here. It's obvious how happy and safe she feels here. She adores her teachers, and she has grown SO MUCH in her confidence, capabilities, and curiosity. The classroom sizes are perfect, their daily routine is consistent and engaging, and all of the children seem content and like their individual needs are met, making for a healthy, thriving classroom for all each and every day.As parents, it's priceless to feel our child is not only safe, but also being poured into every day, and learning from her peers. We couldn't be more grateful for this community, and we look forward to continuing to watch our child - and future children! - thrive here in the coming years!Thank you Guidepost Montessori at Spruce Tree, for being that village for our family!”

“I am thankful for this center and for the staff. I've watch my child develop socially and intellectually and it thrills me to see them eagerly repeating vocabulary words and lessons they learn in school.”

“Our daughter has been with this school a little bit over a month now. When my husband and I visited the school, we were very satisfied with the friendly staff and their professionalism.The classes are very clean and nicely decorated. A very welcoming atmosphere.We absolutely love our teachers Ms. Mahaley and Ms. Cynthia. They are very attentionate and regularly communicate with us about our daughter.We also like their curriculum plan as it nurtures the development of our child.The staff at the front (Ms. Tori, Ms. Janna and Ms. Shannon) is always smiling at you when you enter and leave the school. I am very satisfied with this school. ?”

“My daughter has been attending this daycare/preschool since she was 12 weeks old and she is now 19 months. We have been very impressed by the communication from the director, Brittany. The toddler room teachers are so caring and truly love their students. My daughter gets excited talking about school and her teachers, Ms. Sue and Ms. Marvel. Watching my daughter hug her teacher at drop off eases my mind and I know she is in great hands.”

“I wish there was space at this daycare I would put my two sons there. We used the benefit through my employer for backup care for two weeks and it was great! Highly recommend and may try in the future to get in!”

“Triangle Learning Center feels like a family. I’ve had my son enrolled since he was six months old. He loves going there every morning and I often have to pry him away when I pick him up in the evening. Solid academic foundation with Christian principles.”

“The Learning Experience daycare is truly amazing! I cannot thank the directors, Jessica and Wanda, enough for creating such a wonderful and nurturing environment for children. The teachers, Ms. Diamond, Ms. Tee, Ms. Cythina, and Charlene, are all incredible educators who genuinely care about each and every child in their care. Their dedication and passion for teaching is evident in the growth and development I have seen in my child. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and educational environment for their child. Thank you again to the entire staff at The Learning Experience!”

“Friendly, loving, kind & caring. Daycare is nice and clean. Everyone is wonderful and I feel comfortable leaving my 6 month old daughter. The app is great and I get updates throughout the day- everytime she eats, diaper change, sleeps and does activities. And pictures! And if I ask a question in the app they are quick to respond.
The caregivers and staff are so kind and welcoming and my daughter is now 7 months old and loves going to daycare.”

“Started my 2 kids in January and this was our 3rd school as we’ve been less than impressed with what the others offered and Highland Creek KinderCare is our new permanent home! I’m overjoyed with the communication that we receive, the abundance of photos and feedback especially in the 2 yr old class with Ms Keke and Ms Keondra they always go above and beyond with the crafts and lessons. I confidently drop my kids off and know that they are well loved.Thank you KinderCare for providing me with the much needed peace of mind”

“We absolutely loved our time at Goddard! Both of our children grew up there and were incredibly loved. The school has a strong sense of community and fantastic staff. Highly recommend it for any family looking for a nurturing, positive environment for their little ones!”
