Welcome to Childcare Network in Charlotte, where we pride ourselves on being a high-quality early learning center. My name is Kayla Smith, 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

7/29/2026We have had such a wonderful experience with Child Network! The director has been amazing, caring, and supportive, and we truly appreciate the love and dedication the staff show every day. A special thank you to Ms. Tonee and teacher Ms. Dee for being so caring, patient, and attentive with our daughter. They have made her feel comfortable, loved, and supported. We also want to recognize Ms. Ky for always keeping us parents updated through the app with photos and updates about our little one. It means so much to be able to see those moments throughout the day and feel connected. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a warm and nurturing environment. We are grateful for the care you provide!

7/28/2026We love this daycare! The love, time, and energy the teachers pour into the children here has brought us so much peace of mind. We started our daughter at 12 weeks and were so worried but the kindness and care of each teacher immediately put us at ease! We are so grateful to be part of the Childcare Network family and could not recommend this daycare more. If I could give them more stars I would!

2/27/2026Our daughter has been here for over a year, and from the start, the staff has been so welcoming! Everyone shows that they know and care for our daughter. Throughout her time here, she has been able to socialize and make friends. She has learned so much from the teachers and the programs they use. The class sizes are on the smaller side, which is great, because I know she is getting attention. Most importantly, she is happy while she is at daycare. Miss Kayla is wonderful! It shows she cares about the center and is great at overall communication. There could be more communication/updates from the classroom, but I know the teachers are busy! If I ever have a question about my child that isn’t reflected on the app, I know I can email and get a speedy response back.
