About the Provider

Advertisement
At Carrboro Early School we believe each child holds in himself unlimited potential to learn, to grow, to thrive. Our goal is to give each child the love, care and support they need to reach their potential.

We realize that although we spend an invaluable amount of time with children, it is the family that exerts the most influence in a child’s life. In order to make a difference in a child’s life outcome, we know we must provide support to the family. Our primary responsibility to the family is providing the best possible childcare. Secondly, we must be a resource and referral when a family has a need, and when necessary we must become personally involved to help bring about successful resolutions to problems. Our desire is to build a relationship with families that will allow us to work together to create the best possible start in life for the children.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
