We have a 5 star rating from the North Carolina Division of Child Development, which is the highest rating a child care center can obtain.

We provide care in a 5 day a week program, a 3 day a week program (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and a 2 day a week program (Tuesday and Thursday).
As part of our program, we provide breakfast, lunch and snack on a daily basis. Our food service meets the USDA age specific food requirements for children. We also provide all milk and juice in accordance with these guidelines. Click here for a sample menu.
Our center has 10 classrooms where children are cared for based on their physical and developmental age. Our classrooms are set up with interest centers to facilitate our play based philosophy. We also have 4 separate playgrounds that are age appropriate, nature based and lots of fun. Our staff education qualifies us for the highest rating on teacher education that the state of North Carolina recognizes.
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.
