My husband and I used Select Sitters to find a nanny for our little one!…read more With no family around locally, a reliable well vetted nanny was imperative for us. We chose select sitters because of their guarantee to provide back up coverage in case our nanny needed to take a day off for illness. We luckily have not needed to take them up on that just yet but we feel peace of mind knowing we have a backup plan. I'm not sure if we just got lucky but we feel our nanny is the perfect match for our little one and I am not sure I could have found her without Select Sitter.

Flexibility with early morning drop-offs and later pick-ups has been a godsend. Our daughter has been at NB for over a year now and loves it. She happily runs in every day, is warmly greeted, and then sits down to a delicious all-organic breakfast. I know because parents are welcomed to take part in the spread as well! The small group size, high caregiver-to-baby ratio, and mixed age philosophy has been wonderful for our daughter. She comes home every day clean and happy, having learned new words, songs, and activities from her caretakers and baby pals. She even asks (...constantly...) where her NB friends are - and I couldn't ask for a better review. As for negative reviews on this site: NB is a group of ~8 families, and I know all the other parents there. I do not recognize those reviewers; they have never used NB to my knowledge. The fact that both accounts have written just one review and were created on the same day is suspicious, to say the least.

I know that he is very well cared for and loved at Suzi's (and he loves going!). Nurtured Baby is so much more than a traditional daycare. The space is a beautiful and inviting home environment. She has a very low teacher to child ratio and offers day/time flexibility(!). Organic foods. Non toxic products. Learning through play. I honestly didn't think we'd find such a wonderful place. I'm very grateful for Suzi and her staff. Balancing work and family isn't always easy, especially at first, but Suzi has certainly helped us along the way. We will forever be thankful to have found Suzi.

Courtney's is hands down the best daycare/drop-in care center we've been to. No matter where you…read morelook, everything about Courtney's is a 10/10! Everyone here values safety above all else. There is a secure door upon entry into the daycare, and inside the daycare, there is a child-proof gate as well. The staff here also do an excellent job cleaning and I am always impressed by how they can manage to keep the daycare so clean even when there are so many kids running around and doing so many activities! My 2-year-old daughter never came home with clothes soaked in food and that's because they are also careful about not getting food everywhere during mealtimes. Courtney's was already super clean before COVID, and after COVID, I must say I was even more impressed with their level of sanitation and cleanliness. They use EPA-grade, child-friendly sanitation that can put any parents' mind at ease. The hours and rates here are also what set this daycare apart from any other. I was a law student while I used Courtney's for my daughter, and the hours and rates were so convenient. My studies/classes usually last well into the evening and I usually have mornings off, so the timing worked so well here with Courtney's being open until 8 pm on weekdays and 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The hours were also perfect for much-needed date nights with my partner! There are a wealth of toys and games for children of all ages, and it was seriously my daughter's favorite place to go! Every morning she would get super excited because she knew she was going to her little mini-Disneyland. The staff here don't just encourage passive play--during Mother's Day week, she came home with a new painting for mom each day and I was so touched at the level of detail and attention the staff here gives to each child! Last but certainly not least, the staff and owner here are the absolutely most caring, kind, and sweetest people I have ever met. Heather, Kaneisha, Kayla, Angela (and more) care about each and every one of their families and this was really important to us especially since this is not true of many other daycares. The fact that I haven't seen any staff turnover during the 1.5 years we were at Courtney's is a true testament to their caring and family-like staff. I refer all of my colleagues and friends at the law school with children to check out Courtney's because we know they will not be disappointed. We will miss everyone at Courtney's so much now that we moved out of state and I highly recommend any family who is looking for high quality and superb care for their children to check out Courtney's!

I've had my child in this daycare for a year and I've really been impressed by the quality of care…read morehere. I did an intensive research process to discover this daycare -- visited 5 in this area and called every single one in Chapel Hill region. This was hands down the best one. Community: The daycare is a co-op model, which means that parents are asked to volunteer to help with small projects and that the profits they earn go back to help fund the education of their caretakers. I think this really makes a difference for feeling like you are paying and investing in a community, rather than a corporation. Lower ratios: most daycares go with what the state mandates - 1:5 for babies, 1:6 for 1-2 year olds, and 1:10 for 2-3 year olds. Coming from another state; this is just abysmal. They start at 1:3 and then do 1:6 for 2-3 year olds. Anyone who has been in a daycare room when all the kids are there knows that this should really be the max. Price: it's a bit more costly than other daycares in the area, but it's worth it in my opinion. They do accept vouchers so you can look into that if you need. Location: maybe from a lot of people, but southern village is a great place. The kids can go on field trips to the huge park or this weaver street. Outdoor play: They do a lot of it and are very diligent about bug spray and sunscreen. They have a wonderful play yard with plenty of room, shade, and toys. They do water play in the summer twice a week. Potty training: they are very supportive with potty training and will sit your child on the potty every 30 minutes if that's what's needed. Drop off/pick up: not sure the earliest time you can drop off - maybe 7 or 730? Latest pick up is 530. Discipline/style: they are warm and gentle, but also good at enforcing boundaries. I've seen them engaging in more gentle methods like making positive suggestions for alternatives rather than just saying no. The structured scheduled helps kids know that putting away toys, sitting down at meals, washing hands, and going potty every hour are non negotiables.

When we moved to the area from Washington, D.C. a year and a half-ago, my biggest concern was how…read moremy then-2-year-old daughter would transition to a new daycare setting. Thankfully, CHDCC went above and beyond to welcome my daughter to the school and to meet her needs (and mine!) during that first week. Throughout our time at CHDCC, my husband and I have been incredibly impressed by the quality of the teachers and staff. Our center in D.C. had frequent staff turn-over and it has been such a gift to watch our daughter grow and thrive with a consistent, experienced early childhood professional. This teacher magically potty-trained our daughter in the first two months at school and supported her social, emotional, and cognitive growth each day. We were lucky enough to loop with her from the 2 year-old to the 3 year-old room, making for another smooth transition this year. Everyone at the center is warm and welcoming and I am always blown away by the fact that every adult in the building knows my daughter by name and looks out for her well-being. I am a huge fan of the play-based learning that takes place at CHDCC and love how her teacher differentiates instruction to cater to both the abilities and the interests of each child. I would highly recommend CHDCC to other parents and plan to enroll our second child in the infant room this year.

Thank you for loving them as your own. And, thank you for creating a place that makes learning fun. Thank you to Mr. John - the Cooker (as my four year old will say) for providing nurturing meals that apparently I can't top at home. "No, I want Mr. John's soup" is a common complaint at my house. That is okay because that means my child is eating during the day. Great staff, great teachers, great support, great place!

In the words of Vera G. from 2023: "Look elsewhere, seriously."…read more After many, many interactions with the center's current director Amy Boyette, I fully believe Amy is engaged in active covering up of abuse and neglect happening at the Children's Campus. I am in the processing of reporting this. Amy was made aware of our daughter's multiple health issues including anaphalytic responses to various foods as well as suspected celiac disease (where gluten exposure could potentially damage her intestines). Amy said we could bring own our food for our daughter, but that they could not make food accessible to her (fine, we were ok with that). Eventually our daughter grew out of several allergies which made us more at ease, but her doctors were still waiting until she was older for celiac testing. I came to find out multiple times that the staff continued to not only provide our daughter gluten meals (with bread and everything) from the school lunches by accident, but also that one of the teachers was intentionally feeding our daughter food from her own packed lunches - completely against our daughter's allergy action plan that was on file. The teacher told me she had given her sweet potato from her lunch that "only had butter on it" and I was filled with rage because our daughter at the time had a cow milk protein allergy that previously had given her very severe hives and vomiting. I informed the teacher that butter is in fact dairy. The primary teacher of the classroom said she had been trying to get the second teacher to stop feeding children in the classroom her lunches from home, but was not having success with this and Amy and the management would not step in. When I would ask Amy for a meeting to discuss the very urgent health-related concerns, she would avoid responding to my requests and just say that the problem was solved when it wasn't. She would never offer any solutions until I would point out repeatedly that the current system was not working and she was not offering new systems. I even shared information with her about how other centers have more safety-focused allergy food systems in place but she did not seem the slightest bit interested to learn more or even about how to protect my child or other children at the center. In addition to not following our daughter's allergy action plan, there were multiple days where we would pick her up and she would not have been given any fluids and the majority of her lunches where not offered to her (pouches, string cheese, etc. completely unopened). She was there for over 8 hours, on multiple occasions, with her water bottle untouched (we had to supply her own water bottle each day freshly to avoid allergy issues and the line we brought it in at was always in the same place as when we dropped her off and she would consistently be constipated from not being offered proper fluids). When I would confront the teachers about this they would cite being too busy or being pulled out of the classroom to attend other things. When I would confront Amy about this she would placate me and also continue to insinuate I was over-reacting or that my daughter just "wasn't hungry" that day (how would you know if she was hungry if you never offered her the food?) Eventually Amy said her "plan" was to set reminders her on phone to go into the classroom to remind the teachers to feed my child at the designated 4 meal times. She did this for maybe 2 days and then again things returned to being without documentation and my daughter often not being given fluids. I cannot emphasize enough that despite the center having an app for documenting diapers, meals, naps, etc. - I almost never in the 6 months my child was there had any documentation of what was happening throughout her day. There would be brief moments on days where a few items would be input, but most often we would pick her up with almost no idea of what happened that day. Teachers freely admitted to me when my daughter was an infant that safe sleep protocols were never followed, and that the meal plan is never what was published by the management. One day we arrived to drop our daughter off and the teachers were freaking out that they had been given a nearly empty bag of cereal that was supposed to feed breakfast to a room full of children. They say there is a "schedule" and that is an absolute joke because no one there is following a schedule (at least in room 2). We were given no protocol or steps to follow in checking out from our time at the center, and so my husband still has a fob to a daycare where we no longer have a child there. How many other fobs are lingering out there with adults who shouldn't have them and whose children are no longer there? I could go on and on about how horrible of experience we had at this center. We chose it because allegedly it was locally run and well liked. Found out later from staff that (allegedly) it's just run by a family in Florida who is pretty neglectful of it.
