About

Welcome to Childcare Network Charlotte South Boulevard, where we pride ourselves on being a high-quality early learning center. My name is Autumn Gaddy, and I am the school Director. At our school, we strive to ensure that parents feel safe and secure leaving their children with us and that those children leave every day smiling. We know that early education is integral in establishing a solid foundation for their child's educational journey. Our goal for students is to foster an environment where each child can challenge themselves and achieve success. As many of our staff are parents themselves, we understand how rewarding and demanding a parent's role can sometimes be, especially as a working parent. We are committed to providing a supportive community for the families we serve. We all want our students to be happy, nurtured, and provided with the best learning opportunities. Our staff members provide a safe environment and nurture your child on their learning journey while giving them the freedom to explore and develop in a warm and caring environment. Feel free to stop in for a tour or call to speak with a team member. We look forward to the opportunity to build a long-lasting relationship with your family

My son has a tough time adjusting to new places and struggles with being left without us sometimes. All of the teachers call him by his nickname and make him feel loved and safe! This makes a mama’s heart happy!

This school has been nothing but amazing. My child has been enrolled here since she was an infant and is now a toddler in Ms. April's class. Ms. April is a wonderful teacher who is always informative, caring, and makes my child feel safe, comfortable, and excited to learn every day. My child is now moving up to the 2-year-old class, and I couldn't be happier with the care and education she has received. The Director, Mrs. Hedgepeth, and the Assistant Director, Mrs. Williams, are always positive, welcoming, and supportive. Whenever we have questions or concerns, they take the time to answer them and make sure we have the information we need. I highly recommend this school on South Boulevard to any family looking for a caring, nurturing, and supportive environment for their child.

The most positive aspects were working directly with the children and supporting Hispanic families through translation and open communication. I genuinely enjoyed creating lesson plans, seeing the children’s development, and building trusting relationships with parents. What stood out most, however, was the heavy workload placed on certain staff (cleaning, extra responsibilities, translation) without fair recognition or compensation, combined with inconsistent management support and parent concerns that were often reported but rarely addressed.

My kids attended Childcare Network for over 6 years, and the entire team was awesome—right up through the Admin staff. They were always understanding, caring, and observant. They could tell when me or my kids were having a rough morning, and I truly appreciated how loving and supportive they were. I’ll admit, there was a time when I fell behind on tuition. At first, they worked with me, but as I got further behind, I became frustrated and unfortunately took it out on the staff. Even then, they remained professional and kind. The director reminded me, “We love you and your kids, but to keep caring for them, we have bills to pay—teachers, electricity, water, and more. We don’t like chasing parents for money, but the truth is, your babies can’t come for free, because our teachers don’t and won’t work for free.” Moral of the review is if you tend to stand out with negativity and others dont feed in it the opposing person is upset and make bad reviews. Childcare network on south blvd is awesome they dont owe me nothing.

Always friendly and eager to help in any way possible. They go above and beyond, treating everyone with respect and delivering excellent customer service. Their patience with both parents and children is remarkable. They truly invest in teaching the kids and work together as a team. The best part is that my grandchild loves going to school—feeling welcomed and excited to attend both school and camp.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with my daughter’s daycare class! The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely caring — it’s clear how much they love what they do. They communicate with families so well, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way. I’m always impressed with how thoughtfully they engage the children through fun activities, learning moments, and lots of play. My daughter absolutely loves going to daycare each day!

Childcare Network #53 has been nothing but great to my family. My son attended Meck PreK with Ms. Blount and Ms. Alexis who are amazing educators and worked tirelessly to create a safe and loving learning environment for my child who has special needs. Ms. Valentine also works closely with my son and he loves her very much. He comes home telling us how much he loves when he gets to go to her class. I can’t thank them enough for their love and support. My daughter is currently in the 1 year old class with Ms. April, Ms. Nadia and Ms. Donna. These 3 ladies are the best! They greet us every morning with open arms. We get daily updates on meals, diaper changes, and nap times from their app. As well as pictures and videos of learning activities that are age appropriate for the kids. I love that they actually interact with the children and also encourage independent play. My daughter is learning so many things in their classroom. She’s singing her ABC’s and pointing out her body parts. I also want to thank Ms. Shikerra (Director) and Ms. Andrea (Assistant Director) for their kindness and support. I know my children are in a great hands when I drop them off everyday 🫶🏾
