Description: Luv-A-Kid Montessori Learning Center is private Montessori preschool located in the Pinehurst area of North Carolina. We invite you to explore and discover how your child can learn and flourish in our environment. Our students get much more than daycare, they experience an authentic Montessori preschool. The Montessori approach encourages children to learn through self-motivation within a carefully prepared environment. The multi-age setting offers the child an opportunity to relate to, and work with others at his/her developmental level. At all levels and in all areas, Luv-A-Kid places the needs of the child first. The staff believes that children, not subjects, are taught. Respect for the child is the cornerstone of our philosophy.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

Please do NOT send your child to this facility. Our son only went for a little over two weeks and thank God. From the beginning I knew something was amiss but with the lack of child care in this area I was going to "give them the benefit of the doubt." He was never happy being dropped off and couldn't seem more than ready to leave when being picked up. He was only changed twice a day in 8 hours (diapers), and on his last day only once! I confronted a staff member about their lack of promptness to their facility and voiced my concern that nobody was showing up until after 7 am when they were supposed to open. Only one person was showing up and I was concerned about where my child was while they were setting up for the morning (something they should be doing atleast 10-15 minutes prior). On other occasions we had received emails complaining that our son was not napping (he is 12 months). We then recieved an email that evening terminating his enrollment effective that day because he does not nap and is disturbing others. After calling other facilities in the area I have been told that other parents have dis-enrolled their child from this facility due to lack of supervision, management and down right care for a child. I cannot validate these as they are heresy. A waitress even said during lunch that she pulled her children out of there for very concerning reasons. Please, do not send your child to this "school." I am thankful my son is out of there.
