Best place for my kid ! I cannot say enough about the…read morecenter and all it's staff. The head of the center Miss Hala is a lovely lady is always there for all our questions, goes out of her way to accommodate any requests and makes sure all the kids and parents are comfortable. I once asked for the syllabus of the next stages and it was sent to me the very same day. Miss Lisa at the front desk is the face of the center, always smiling, knows each kid and wait for it most parents names as well (She knows my and my husband's name and can even recognize our voice over the phone.. great customer service) She is amazing and we love to interact with her. Miss Nicole is awesome as well. Also knows all the kids names and she is always running around getting things done! There is not a single question I have had that she couldn't answer. Love that the staff is so well acquainted and skilled. Now for the teachers. My child has been in the infant's room since he turned 4 months. As a working mom, it was really hard for me to part ways with such a small baby but Ms. Hind and Ms. Kamala put all my fears to rest. They are the most loving teachers/care takers that my kid could ever have. They treat my boy as family and are always there to welcome him with open arms. He loves cuddling with them :) makes me slightly jealous that he loves them so much.. haha. Both Ms. Hind and Ms. Kamala have taught him a lot, and are so particular about his diaper changes and meals. I remember showing up earlier one day and my boy was eating a nice warm meal (home cooked one which I sent). I was pleasantly surprised that they cared enough to warm it before feeding him the purees. They also sometimes suggest on what I should start feeding him at home at each stage. Love this informal setting while still being really professional in the way they approach things. The app feature is amazing and makes me feel a lot better that I can see each notification on when my child ate and was changed and slept along with fun pics. Among the floaters, we really like Miss Zorina and Miss Farah. Very polite staff and love the amount of detailed attention they give to my baby. All in all this center gets an A+ from this mommy and we will keep our kid here till we can!

We've toured almost all of the reputable daycare centers around the area and found Bright Horizons…read moreat Boone to be the best choice for us. Coming from a Nanny and due to personality/preferences, our child had a very hard time adjusting to being in a group care setting at first but his current teacher here made a world of a difference. She is loving, kind, nuturing, and very patient. Most of the teachers here seem to be nice as well. We truly really like this center in general and continue to be happy with our decision. In addition to a curriculum that is fun, engaging and fosters learning with a good amount of structure, the Director Ms Hala ensures the place is kept orderly and clean. They have actual separate classrooms for each class/different age groups, which makes it organized and more structured, as we've seen it can get chaotic and disruptive having a one big open space without separate rooms (at other centers). Love the fact that breakfast, lunch, and PM snack is all provided, very well-balanced planned out meals. They have a very nice indoor gym play area as well as a nice outdoor playground. Another plus is that they are very current with technology. There's an app that we get updates of all of the meal and diaper/bathroom stats, along with pictures throughout the day each day. They are very good with communicating updates through emailing weekly Parent Newsletters of what's going on and what's coming up in each of the classes. The center celebrates holidays such as Mother's and Father's Day, Valentines, etc. and makes it a fun environment as well. We are happy with the staff that we interact with including Ms Hala (the director), Ms Lisa (the front desk business manager) who is so helpful and answers every question and concern thoroughly, as well as Ms. Anita and Ms. Simi (current teachers), who really put their hearts into caring for the kids in the class. Our little one is very happy here. Cost is on the higher side but totally worth it for the peace of mind and a healthy, thriving, and clean environment for our little one! I have to say while touring the many daycare centers in our area, this and only one other Bright Horizons (Greensboro) gave me a true warm feeling where I could feel that my child would be safe, comfortable, and clean, and that I could actually leave my child there.

We feel so lucky to have found Tania and her amazing team at Happy Younglings. After our oldest…read morewent through a larger daycare, we wanted something calmer and more personal. The difference was immediate; he came home happy, relaxed, and full of stories about his day. The outdoor space is incredible. The kids are outside every day--rain, snow, or shine. They enjoy the playground, checking the veggie garden, nature walks, stomping in puddles, playing in the snow, and much more. We also love the mixed-age setup. The older kids learn empathy and confidence by helping the little ones, and the younger kids pick things up so fast by watching and joining in. Both of our boys have grown so much socially and with language since starting here. Tania is warm, communicative, and incredibly organized. She really knows each child and supports their interests. The environment is calm, spotless, safe, and feels like a second home for our children. With flexible drop-offs, home-cooked meals, and so much love and care, Happy Younglings is truly a special place.

A Heartfelt Goodbye to Our Happy Younglings Family!…read more As we prepare for our youngest to graduate from Happy Younglings, I feel gratitude and a touch of bittersweet emotion. This isn't just a daycare; it's been a second home for both of our daughters. From the moment our first child started here, we've been consistently impressed. The providers at Happy Younglings are wonderful--warm, loving, and invested in each child's well-being. My girls adore them, treating them like bonus aunts. One of the things I've always appreciated is the fresh, healthy meals. My picky eaters sometimes only ate their veggies at daycare. Beyond the excellent care and healthy food, Happy Younglings has been instrumental in helping us navigate major developmental milestones. From learning to crawl and first steps to introducing solid foods and, of course, the monumental task of potty training, their support and guidance have been invaluable. They celebrate every achievement with enthusiasm alongside us. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will thrive, be nourished, and feel loved, look no further.

We sent our first child to Curious Kids with Suma and happily sent our second.  We really like that…read moreSuma cooks meals for the kids (centers cater their food), and we like the smaller group size (12 kids) compared to centers.  There's a separate room with 4 cribs for the infants (under age 1) to sleep in, so the sleeping environment is better than at centers too.  Her 2 employees have been with her a long time, so there's continuity for the kids.  She also supports early potty training, so she let our daughter go without diapers at 23 months (something that many centers won't allow).   I remember that once at a Halloween party Suma threw for the kids, she said that she loved our kids like they were her own and while it made me happy to hear that, I wasn't sure I believed it.  But now that Covid-19 hit, I really do believe it.  Even after she closed, she scheduled weekly Zoom calls so the kids could see their friends.   My daughter kept asking to see Ms. Suma, and she let us come by her home and say hi (from a safe distance), and said she missed us and we could visit anytime.  These were things she didn't have to do, especially since we aren't paying her.  Ultimately, isn't that what we all want from a daycare?  Someone who will love your kids like their own?

I can't recommended this place enough.. initially I was very nervous of sending my son to a home…read morebased day care .. but now I am very happy that I sent him here .. The assistant teachers at school are also very kind and loving .. Kids have a routine and they have some sort of activity everyday. There's a playground at the back, which is nice for them to go out and play. My son keeps talking about all the books Ms Suma reads for them.. Daily report at end of the day helps me know what my son ate and if he has napped or potty .. I did not have to worry about my sons well-being while he was at Ms Suma's. The food that Ms Suma offers is healthy with all fruits and vegetables I am happy with his nutrition while he's there .. if not for Ms Suma I would have waited forever to potty train my son.. she did train him very well so it was easier to follow Ms Suma's suggestions and get going! Overall, I am very happy about my experience with my sons language development and potty training !!
