Schools in Waxhaw, NC

“My son has attended laurelwood for almost a year now and I cannot say enough good things. We are moving and are so sad to leave.. after reading so many horrible reviews of other preschools and childcare centers I wanted to leave a review for Laurelwood. The director (Ms Kasey) is absolutely wonderful, the teachers are all so caring, and the kids get to spend so much time playing outdoors, as opposed to your standard “30 minute” playtime windows you find at other schools. The amount of flexibility you get with times is unlike any other preschool as well. The kids go 8-2:30 but can go earlier or can stay later as long as you sign up and they have space/are in ratio, which has been amazing. The teachers and director go above and beyond to help your kids. My son had never been to school before and would get so distressed at naptime, even occasionally throwing up, and the director would let him stay in her office until I picked him up, they helped me troubleshoot ideas to get him more comfortable, and were SO communicative and transparent about everything. I never felt in the dark and truly felt like my son was well taken care of and loved. We toured so many schools trying to find one like this but there is no other school like laurelwood and I cannot recommend it enough.”

“I can’t say enough good things about the positive experience my son has had at Western Union. Our family is actually districted for another elementary school in the area, which both of my daughters attended. We chose WUES for our son because of the Dual Language Program specifically, but from the first time I walked through the front doors, I could tell that the school was something special. The principal is truly outstanding, and she sets a tone that prevails throughout the school. The language program is beyond anything I imagined possible in a public school; the teachers and TAs across the board go above and beyond to be nurturing, forward thinking, resourceful, global; the specials teachers are committed and excited and engaged; the outdoor classroom and the work that went into making it possible moves me to tears. The list goes on. It strikes me that the motto at WUES is “Give your best and nothing less.” I see this at work in the school every single day.”

“TLE Waxhaw is simply the best! A fantastic environment for kids to learn and grow. Chinita and all of the staff are engaging not only with the children but with the rest of the family as well. Enroll today! You will not be disappointed.”

“We feel so fortunate to have our child at this school! The administrators are on top of things and we feel great about security. There's plenty of outdoor play space. Most of all, the infant teachers Ms. Marybeth and Ms. Isabel are PHENOMENAL. They go above and beyond, have great communication, and they have been valued resources for my husband and me especially as first time parents. At drop-off I know my child is not only going to be well cared for and learn through an impressively planned range of sensory activities, but that she'll be with people who love her and know her as an individual. She gets very excited to go to school and to see her teachers! We highly recommend the Goddard School of Waxhaw.”
