Hello everyone, We…read moreare so thrilled to finally share our heartfelt experience with Growing Years Early Childcare Education Center in Burlington, NC. My wife and I are older parents--we had our first baby during the height of COVID. She's what you'd call a "COVID baby." Like many new parents, we were cautious, nervous, and eager to find a place that felt not only safe but nurturing. When our daughter started at Growing Years at just nine months old, we had no idea how deeply this center would impact our lives. From the very beginning, the love and care they poured into our daughter was unmistakable. This wasn't just a daycare--it was a second home. The staff caught her very first steps--a moment we'll never forget. They've been there through every milestone, and now, incredibly, she's about to graduate and head into elementary school. What sets Growing Years apart is something that's rare in childcare today: consistency and love. There's hardly any staff turnover here, and that's not a coincidence. The leadership takes care of their teachers and caregivers, and that care trickles down to every child who walks through their doors. The result? A team that's experienced, passionate, and truly connected to your child's development. As parents, security and communication were top priorities. Growing Years delivers on both. Their camera system allows you to check in any time, giving you peace of mind throughout the day. And when those inevitable bumps and scrapes happen (as they do with young kids), their communication is prompt and thoughtful. They'll call, email, and even sit down with you face-to-face to ensure you understand what happened and how it was handled. That level of transparency and compassion is unmatched. We now have two children at Growing Years. Our son currently attends, and he receives the same love, structure, and joyful learning experience that helped our daughter thrive. If you visit the center, stroll down the wall of fame--you'll find our daughter's photo there. It's not just a picture. It's a symbol of our family's deep connection to this place and its people. We wholeheartedly recommend Growing Years to any parent looking for a center rooted in compassion, high-quality education, and a true sense of community. This is more than a childcare center. This is the foundation for a lifetime of learning and love. With gratitude, The Tysons

Some teachers are great and some have zero personality. My child seemed to get hurt alot outside…read moreon playground area. They need to get rid of concrete on playground. I personally just do not think its safe for kids to be playing with a lot of other kids on the concrete area. The director was never friendly with our family - they have received a new one now and hopefully she will be better. BE aware that it is very expensive - you are looking at paying any where from 250 to 280 dollars a week. I am not sure it is worth that when most teachers just let the kids play all day vs teaching them something that will get them ready for Kindergarten.

I can not say enough good things about this school. I started both of my children here at 12 weeks…read moreold. My oldest is now in the Early Preschool Program, and my youngest is in the infant room. We have been a family of Primose for 3 years. The administrative staff is welcoming, loving, courteous, and knows us by name when we arrive. They effectively communicate to us and always have smiles on their faces. The teachers love my children as their own. They embrace their bad days with a smile, and take the time to get to know their individuals needs. My youngest (1yo) has gross motor delays. The teachers and staff have worked with us to encourage her development and have been patient with her individual needs. They allow her Physical Therapist to come to school to work with her and are always helping to cheer her on with her progress! My oldest (3yo) learns the most amazing things at school. She will tell me things about the earth, shapes, colors, animal sounds, sing nursery songs, exc. They are currently working on potty training with her. Her teachers have worked with her on manners, basic life skills, handling emotions, building friendships, exc. While we teach these things at home, it is wonderful to have a program which has a structured leaning environment and not just a playschool. We get the most amazing artwork sent home; my daughter talks about her teachers and friends constantly. There is an app which sends updates throughout the day regarding feedings, bathroom breaks, and photos. The facility is clean, up to date, and stocked with age appropriate toys and activities. You will not regret sending your children to this school!

Their education has been incredibly impressive and I am frequently shocked by the things she can understand from school. The teachers really care about the students and the staff goes above and beyond. The best thing I can say about Primrose is that my child is excited to go to school and can't wait to see her teachers and friends.

He has incredible teachers, of notable mention are Ms Jasmine and Ms Deb, and has truly created a bond with them. Ms Sadina is the best! Due to Covid, we have been unable to go into the building but she has truly made this experience easy.

Our daughter is 4 and has Autism however it is very mild, we were up front about that and they acted as if they would work with us and that wouldn't be an issue. The next step is having your child spend 45minutes there during a school day, we did that--when we came in the attitudes were terrible and almost rude..very different from what we had experienced from the same people that had previously been so nice. Everyone has a bad day now and then so I didn't think too much of it until 2hrs after the visit we received an email stating their recommendation would be public school and they could not accept my daughter. First, my daughter is not old enough for "school" so I responded with a request for a more detailed explanation. I wanted to know if there was something they seen I wasn't aware of or how they may recommend we move forward because this is suppose to be a "Christian" community, NEVER GOT A RESPONSE...this happened several months ago and I have prayed about whether or not to post a review hoping they would respond after a second follow up email however they have not responded. I can tell you trying to find a private Christian education is difficult when your child has a disability...it amazes me how so many people can publicly claim to be Christian but not show the love of Christ...will certainly be praying for them and any other parents out there that have experienced discrimination due to a disability

From the first day my then timid granddaughter, arrived at Promise Preschool she has been included,…read moreloved and challenged. Miss Renee , the director, is easily visible and ready to help. She is friendly and never seems put out. Miss Sheila, my granddaughters' teacher both years, is always full of great lessons, laughs easily, encourages each child to succeed and seems to like/love each of her students. My granddaughter is unique and they embrace all of her. The cost is reasonable ( scholarships are available based on need). The facilities are easy to find and located near Hanes Mall. If you want a professional preschool that feels like home- search no further.

Never once did I ever worry about either of my children's safety when I dropped them off. When I pick them up, they don't want to leave because they have having such a blast! The structure is wonderful and my son is more than educationally prepared for kindergarten. Martha created an environment of excellence and Ms. Aleena is carrying the torch and building. There is a reason this daycare has been in business for decades. Some of my friends went to CMCC 30 years ago when they were kids. This center has a long wait list for a reason.

It would be difficult to overstate the magnitude of the positive experience our family has had with…read morethis school. The teachers are highly experienced and do a stellar job in developing a thorough knowledge of each child allowing for an individualized approach to learning and development. In addition to an exemplary academic curriculum, the school places a high priority on social/emotional learning with emphasis on such concepts as kindness, equality, self-advocacy, mutual respect, and stewardship. Having chaperoned some of the field trips, we can say that they are truly exceptional in providing the students with outstanding opportunities for experiential learning to augment the classroom lessons. One of the standout aspects of this school for our family has been the overall sense of community with an atmosphere of inclusion and a warm welcome for all. We wholeheartedly give NGFS our highest recommendation.

By sixth grade, my daughter had become deeply depressed at NGFS, and we were genuinely concerned…read morefor her mental health. Her early years were positive--she loved the Rainbow program, and we are especially grateful to Beth, who helped her develop a love of reading despite auditory processing challenges. Unfortunately, things changed significantly as she got older. In fourth grade, a tick bite during the week-long school trip was egregiously mishandled--whether due to a lack of protocol or a failure to follow one, the result is that she now lives with chronic Lyme disease. Our family has paid nearly $30,000 out-of-pocket for medical treatment, in addition to the high tuition we had already invested in the school. Academically, she was ahead in math, but when we advocated for her to take Math 1 in seventh grade, NGFS flat-out refused to consider it. After transferring to Greensboro Montessori, she was placed in Math 1 and earned a 96. She went on to earn As in each subsequent math course and is now in a senior-level math class as a 10th grader. Clearly, she was more than capable--she just needed a school willing to meet her where she was. My daughter ultimately asked to leave because she felt isolated and alienated. Although the school promotes inclusivity, she quickly realized this didn't seem to apply to students like her. When she tried to assert healthy boundaries with peers, she was often reprimanded--not for what happened, but for how she expressed herself. Ongoing micro-bullying from peers was never meaningfully addressed, even after I raised concerns. She thrived at Greensboro Montessori in 7th and 8th grade, where we found the environment far more supportive and attentive to real inclusivity. She is now thriving at Grimsley High School, where she has a 504 plan in place to support her health. To be fair, NGFS has a strong writing curriculum in the later elementary years, and my daughter's writing skills like owe much to those foundational years. But it's hard to reconcile that benefit with the emotional and physical toll she experienced. If I had to do it all over again, I would have moved her by third grade.
