My child has been attending the Havelock Childcare Network location since September. Ms. Sherry really helped our family out by finding our son a spot as quickly as possible when our daycare at the time was unexpectedly closing. From our first tour I knew it was the place to put our child. My son had been in an in home daycare and was new to this type of setting and everyone there helped ease the transition, not only for him but me as well. Everyone there is always welcoming. supportive, and reassuring. I have no doubts leaving my son in their care. It always makes me so happy to see how much they care about my child and how much he truly loves being there and loves his teachers. His teachers are amazing! He’s gotten to the point that he asks to go to school and that truly shows how happy he is there and what a wonderful job they are doing there!

I've been coming to this childcare facility for years and I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff, from the director to the kitchen staff. They are kind, caring, and have gone out of their way to be flexible with our childcare needs to the extent they are able. We definitely recommend this facility and we keep going back.

My kids have been attending Childcare Network #74 in Havelock since August 2025, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, they’ve been incredibly flexible with our schedule, which has made a huge difference for our family. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring toward the children. I really appreciate that this is a smaller daycare compared to the child development center on base—it feels more personal, and my kids aren’t just another number. I actually stumbled upon this center by accident while searching for childcare, but I’m so glad I did. When I first met Sherry, the director, I immediately knew this was the right place for my kids. Her warmth and confidence put me at ease right away, and that feeling has only grown over time. I highly recommend Childcare Network #74 to any parent looking for a caring, supportive, and family-oriented childcare center in the Havelock area.

We have had 2 children at this daycare over the past 3 years. All the staff are great and seem to genuinely care about my children's happiness and wellbeing. My son is always excited and happy to see his teachers at drop off. My daughter who is now in kindergarten and no longer attends still refers to it as her daycare.

As a parent who works full time I have always felt at ease leaving my child under the care of Ms. Sherry and her team. My daughter comes home happy and ready to return to school the next day. Her wonderful teachers take the time to care for her day in and day out ensuring to meet all her developmental needs. I get a daily report of things she has done with her teacher and class inside and outside of the classroom as well as how much and what she has eaten during her meal times throughout the day. I also get smiling pictures of my daughter doing things she loves. I would recommend to anyone looking to find affordable and quality care for their children. This momma gives a 5 out of 5 stars!

I seriously can not say enough kind things about Mrs. Sherry and her wonderful team of teachers. I have two children who attend school here and every single day they wake up and want to go back. My two kids can be extreme terrors at time and their teachers choose to be patient, loving, and helpful when I'm not sure that I could be if I was in their shoes. The women here always keep it real with me when my children have terrible days, may not feel like their normal selves, or especially when they do something new and exciting that I may have missed. They never hesitate to call me, and treat my kids exactly like their own. Thank you for all you do for my children ♡
