About
Thank you for your interest in our premier child care center in Wilmington, NC, where we strive to bring our families and community together. My name is Tawny Kneebone and I am the school Director. Before becoming Director, I worked in the two-year-old, KPA, and School Age classrooms. Both of my children are currently attending Childcare Network and have been since they were born. I knew I wanted to work in early education after volunteering to teach English in China during my time in college. At our school, we strive to create a welcoming environment where parents feel secure leaving their child in our care and children experience just how fun learning can truly be. We teach our children to be eco-conscious by helping them embark on a love for gardening and getting back to nature through natural play. We teach diversity and empathy in our classrooms and reinforce these ideas about our community. We share with our children and families the need for healthy eating habits by using fresh locally grown produce and physical activity. Our natural playgrounds and gardens are beautiful and full of opportunity for the children to learn. We're here to give each child the best start in life with a high-quality early education that leads to success both in elementary school and beyond.
