  This school moved to a Carrboro location in 2015. Since the move, they have changed in many ways, so reviews written before then are no longer accurate. The facility is larger and one they now own instead of rent. They did a lot of work to remodel the building, including putting in hardwood floors. The 3-5 year old classroom is large, open and a wonderful space for play and exploration. They have high quality materials and plenty of them. The toddler space is a much smaller room and the two groups spend less time interacting. The owner and her daughter are the main teachers. In the last year, there have been many different assistant teachers to come and go. They have worked hard to get the center licensed as a child care center, which they accomplished but this means some of the wonderful things we loved about the school no longer happen. At the old location, the children went on daily nature hikes into the woods, they candled eggs & hatched baby chicks and parents were hands on in the classroom. every month. We selected this school because it was a half day preschool. It is now a full day five day child care center. If you are looking for a child care center, it is probably one of the nicest ones. We found it no longer met our needs. Visit and talk to the owner before you make a final decision. There are a lot of rules parents must follow. The owner has a good heart but some parents find working with her spur of the moment mandates challenging.
