Description:
Mt. Sylvan Preschool has been open for 50 years and is still recognized as "the best of the best" in early childhood education. We offer breakfast, lunch and a snack daily as well as extra curricular activities such as soccer shots. We participate in community service projects monthly as we believe in taking care of our community. Mt. Sylvan is known as offering a top of the line curriculum where our children are nurtured and given everything needed for their next step in education. We have remained open during COVID-19 and are in compliance with all mandated rules. Call us at (919) 477-7389 and ask for Ms. T or Ms. Lynn to set up a tour. We can't wait to meet you and your little one!
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.
