About
Welcome to our wonderful child care center in Charlotte NC. My name is Thelma Mackins and I am the school Director. Our school strives to create a safe, warm and loving environment for the children, parents, and teachers. It is indeed my pleasure to work daily with great teachers and have the opportunity to impact so many children and families in our community. The entire staff takes great pride in being so much more than a daycare and providing a safe and nurturing early learning environment. Here, we are providing the educational foundation for each child to be successful throughout life with a quality curriculum and activities for every age group.

We are incredibly happy at Childcare Network on Commonwealth Ave. Our child has been with them for two years now (starting at just a few months old) and we have always felt that she is incredibly well cared for. All child care facilities these days are over-burdened with additional administrative duties, but the teachers and administrators at CNI 92 really do their best to keep open communication with the parents. We really love the app that they use to provide updates to care givers daily with notes about their eating, sleeping, play, and toilet activities. We truly appreciate this extra effort taken to keep care givers in the know. As a working parent, I feel extra happy knowing that my child is incredibly well taken care of by experienced, responsible professionals who truly have her best interest at heart. If we have another child, we will definitely be brining them to CNI 92. Extra shout out goes to the teachers in the baby house, Ms Teasley, Ms Nohora and Ms Elaine as well as the administrators Ms Mack and T. We appreciate all of them so much. Update, we are now sending our second child to CNI. 3 years later: We can truly feel the love that Ms Teasley, Ms Lewis and Ms Donna have for our babies. We have our second child now with Childcare Network, and she is so loved and well cared for by Ms Teasley (and Ms Lewis when she helps in the baby room). And both of them as well as Ms Donna always take time to say hi and hug my older child when she comes to help pick up the baby. She still feels like part of the community, years later.

My niece loves her daycare and her teacher. We have had nothing but positivity and joy. Ms. Mackins the center director is the light of my niece’s day. She greets my niece with a loving smile and a warm embrace every morning. When my niece’s brother is born he’ll be on the list… We CAN’T WAIT.. love you Ms. Mackins!!!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this daycare. From day one, the entire team has been warm, responsive, and genuinely caring, but what really stands out is my baby’s teacher, Miss Olivia Brown. It has been only three weeks since my baby started going there, but she is absolutely wonderful! As a parent, there’s nothing more important than knowing your child is safe, loved, and well cared for. My baby is the most precious thing in our lives, and having the peace of mind to focus on work while she’s in such great hands is truly priceless. Miss Brown goes above and beyond every single day, and it shows in how happy and comfortable my 13 month baby is. We’re also incredibly grateful to the leadership team for creating such a supportive daycare. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a place where their child will be nurtured, loved, and in excellent hands. Thank you Miss Brown!

I just want to say how thankful I am for Childcare Network and the amazing staff there. They’ve been such a big help for my family and always make me feel confident that my child is in good hands. When they go on field trips, I can tell the teachers really care about keeping the kids safe while making sure they have a fun and exciting experience. My child always comes home with stories about what they did and learned that day, which makes me so happy. I also love that they prepare meals for the kids — it’s one less thing for me to worry about, and I know my child is getting something healthy and tasty to eat. Overall, I truly appreciate everything the teachers and staff do each day. You can tell they love what they do, and it really shows in how they care for the children.

I LOVE this Childcare Network Center! My son has been attending for about 3 years now and he continues in the before and after school program. The staff are very friendly and the teachers work very well with the children. Ms. Donna was my son's teacher before he started Kindergarten and he still talks about her. He even misses being in her class. Don't get me wrong he is enjoying Kindergarten at his "Big Boy" school but Ms. Donna left a lasting impression on us. We appreciate everyone at Childcare Network and could not imagine being anywhere else.

We LOVE Childcare Network, and the teachers/staff have truly become family and friends to us. Not only is it 5 stars for us, its rated 5 stars by the state. The teachers are knowledgeable, patient, and communicative. My son has been there since he was 10 weeks old(!), and he's now 2.5. He has received such great care and is LEARNING every day. The school is close to our home, my son gets to interact with a FUN and diverse group of kids, and he's excited to go every single day. We are so pleased with our Childcare Network!
