My little one has attended this childcare network on 9th street from 6months old to 1 year old. The staff are really attentive and informative about his development. I am always excited to see that he is happy, eating well, and playing great when I come to pick him up. The staff is amazing and welcomes with a smile. The director, April, is very friendly and easy to work with as well. I feel I can go to her with any issue. I trust the staff here with my child and it makes me happy to see him excited to go to this day care center.

The staff at Childcare Network is truly amazing. The little one has been going here for almost 5 years and they have bent over backwards to show caring and compassion on all situations that have arised with the little one. The personal care that they have shown and assisting in the development of the little one shows the amount of care that the staff gives. I wish we could keep using their services. All the staff, especially the NC PreK staff, so amazing, y'all are true diamonds in the ruff. Thank you again for being a huge part and help in the raising our little one.

The staff at #77 is friendly and helpful everyday I drop my child off; they always have big smiles on their faces first thing in the morning and at the end of the day. My child's development has grown tremendously since she started in 2020. I feel that my child is safe and in great hands with staff members at #77. Child Care Network has my highest recommendation. A huge thank you to the wonderful staff members and director!
