About
Welcome to Childcare Network in Gastonia, where we pride ourselves on being a high-quality early learning center. My name is Michelle Meeks 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 with a smile on their faces. We know that early education plays an integral role 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, but also how demanding the role of a parent can be at times, especially a working parent. At our child care center, 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. All of our staff members are dedicated to providing a safe environment and assisting your child on their learning journey while giving them the freedom to explore and develop in a warm and caring environment. Please feel free to stop in for a tour or call to speak with a member of our team. We look forward to the opportunity to build a long-lasting relationship with your family!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you communicate with parents about their child’s progress?

We believe in maintaining open and ongoing communication with parents. We provide regular updates via CN Moments, including photos, details of your child’s day, and important announcements. We also offer parent-teacher conferences and are always available for in-person or phone conversations.

What types of activities are included in your programs?

Our HighReach Learning Curriculum incorporates a variety of activities designed to support children’s physical, emotional, and cognitive development. From creative arts and crafts to outdoor play, music, and early literacy programs, each day is filled with engaging, age-appropriate activities that encourage hands-on learning through play.

Does Childcare Network Gastonia Union Road provide meals and snacks?

Yes! We provide free nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day, prepared following USDA guidelines. Our menu caters to children’s dietary needs and preferences, ensuring they receive healthy and balanced meals while in our care. 

Is your childcare licensed and quality rated or accredited?

Yes, Childcare Network Gastonia Union Road is fully licensed and adheres to all state and local regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of every child in our care. Most of our locations may also hold additional quality ratings and accreditations demonstrating our commitment to high standards in early childhood education.

How do you handle allergies and special dietary needs?

We take allergies and dietary restrictions very seriously. Parents can inform us of any specific needs during enrollment, and we will ensure your child’s meals are prepared safely. We also maintain a nut-free policy and are vigilant about avoiding cross-contamination in our kitchen.
