As the owner of Holly Springs School for Early Education for 16 years, I take pride in being able to offer a place of education and care for children. It is my passion and therefore I am passionate about any negative reviews that are posted about the school. We have a staff of wonderful, hardworking teachers and an amazing curriculum. It is unfortunate that people who want to hurt our reputation for whatever reason, maybe to boost another school, would write untruths on sites that parents look to for genuine information. Ms. Sara S. I did not have you as a parent in this school and your review can be found on several different sites using different names. I can not prevent your negativity from continuing but I am confident parents looking for childcare will read between the lines and know that if ANY school was operating like this they would not be in business and especially for 16 years and with numerous awards like Holly Springs School for Early Education.
Stay away from this facility if you don't want your children to suffer the outcomes of being there. This place is a Complete mess!!! Dont be sold on this reviews that are left by their stuff and friends here!!!They play you very nice when you are enrolling your children. But things change competely when your children start attending.... Kids are being left to wonder around while teachers just doing who knows what. The kids menu is horrible and very limited. The cheapest possible stuff is served on daily basis. Children are constantly getting sick with all sorts of illnesses you could never think of,due to the uncleanliness of the place and constant presence of sick children in the facility. Instead of sending sick kids home, they keep them there. Witnessed children there with literally being covered in snots and the teachers wont even bother. Some teachers are very mean with kids. But you will never see it, if you are a working parent: who just drop off/pick up the child. They send kids outside being dressed inappropriately for the weather. Toys are never sanitized there. So the facility is very dirty. Witnessed teachers being in the shoes and stepping on the mats where they put the children to take nap. There is always conctant stuff flow. The teachers there are very young and hardly have any educational background.The owner/manager of the facility is very unprofessional and rude. Especially if you try to voice your concerns. STAY AWAY for your child SAKE!!!

About the Provider
History......Holly Springs School For Early Education was established in the fall of 2000, making it one of Holly Springs' first independently owned and operated preschools. Being privately owned and not a chain allows tuition costs to be kept lower than other schools without the franchising fees and additional overhead costs that are placed on parents tuition rates. We put more money back into classrooms for your child's education than any other center. Our teacher's and your children are our top priority. We also offer many discounts for Holly Springs Employees, Teachers and the Military. Holly Springs School for Early Education is a family. And being part of our family means having a second home where your child can live, laugh, learn, and have more fun than they ever imagined possible!
Our curriculum was designed by cultivating many styles of traditional childhood experts and educators such as Piaget and Maria Montessori, creating a love for learning with a hands-on approach. We’re proud to provide programs parents can feel good about, and to be recognized as a model for other centers and a training site for student teachers. As you view our program you will see what makes our school unique. When you tour the school you'll see why this is the best decision for your child you can make.
