About the Provider

Description: Method Day Care Center was the first multi-racial daycare in Wake County in 1969 and still maintains its diversity. It is a non-profit organization, founded by five area churches, which formed the Raleigh Inter-Church Housing Corporation (RICH). It began operations in the Method community of Raleigh with seventeen children, two staff members, and many talented volunteers. Method was organized to serve children from all socioeconomic backgrounds and proudly continues that tradition.

In 2004, Method changed it's name to Method Child Development Center and moved from Pullen Baptist Church to its current facility at 900 Trailwood Drive in Raleigh, NC. Today, Method serves children six weeks through school age. The Center operates six classrooms (infant, toddler, two, three, four, five, and after-school).

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

They don’t have your child best interest at hand. When incidents happen they just work together to cover things up. They don’t communicate well with parents and I didn’t feel it was a safe environment for my child.
