3/7/2023I recently had the pleasure of touring here. The director was so sweet and answered my questions with such enthusiasm. I am not due until later this year but I already know this is where I want my baby to attend. The infant teachers and other staff I met were also kind and knowledgeable.

11/17/2022Let me tell you how impressed and ecstatic I am about this facility and the caregivers. It's so warm and comforting as soon as you walk in the door, everyone greets you and the kids. They're so sweet and engaging. My baby girl gets out the bed excited to go to school now. She's never been to a babysitter or any other pre k always been home with me, for her to get out the bed at 7am and say "mama I'm ready go school my teach nice me I like my school" its so cute and heartwarming, I'm really looking forward each day. I've been to other facilities in the area to check them out but this location hands up deserves the best recognition, raises, praises, all the good that can come their way, they truly deserve it. I'm looking forward to the journey growing with my kiddos & CN#82 ! Thank you all for your time and efforts !

10/3/2019I chose this daycare first because it is a 5 Star and second because they never had any violations during visits from DHHS. During my first visit everyone seemed really nice and their were no bad vibes. Have been using them for about 2 weeks and haven't had any issues. They have just been amazing and so friendly. I would recommend this daycare for anyone looking for a place they can trust.

5/4/2019My daughter loves to go to her "Big Girl School". It is very family oriented, clean and engaging. The director is always busy but very attentive to the parents and children. My daughter loves her teachers and all the extra classes the school brings in like weekly Karate lessons.

3/20/2019My 3 kids attended here from ages 6 weeks until 12 years. They had a great experience with each teacher and they made great friends also. It's a fabulous place for social and emotional interaction with others. My children learned lots of things with the excellent curriculum that Childcare Network offers. The directors are absolutely fabulous and and are very interactive with the children and their families. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

3/31/2017I was apprehensive to leave my newborn with strangers but I have to admit this place is perfect for her. She loves every last person who works there and they keep me constantly informed of her development. This location focuses on the outdoors so my child plays outside almost daily and even gets to plant a garden. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent.

7/27/2016My son has been with Childcare Network #82 since he was 2.5 months and now he is already 4 years old!

4/28/2016When my daughter first began attending this school I was a bit nervous because my daughter is 3 and not potty trained or talking. But within a week I noticed a huge difference in my daughter and her efforts at trying to 'grow up.' Before everyday when I would leave her at her previous daycare she would scream and cry and throw a fit.... now she gives me a kiss before we walk in and says bye momma.... this place is amazing and the staff is phenomenal and incredibly welcoming. I would hands down recommend this place to anyone and everyone I know!

3/29/2016My son has been attending this daycare for over a year now and I feel like I made the best choice my registering him here. All of the staff and teachers care about the kids and their development. In my opinion, the daycare offers several things that others don't. My son's teachers take the time to meet with me and have teacher-parent conferences with detailed notes about how he has been doing and behaving and what he has been learning with suggestions about how to mirror what they are learning at home. His teachers really encouraged his potty training and everyday he comes home having learned something new. In the hot summer months there is a Splash Zone! They also have regular Fun Days, and holiday events that keep the kids excited about coming to "school."

11/3/2015Deciding to put my son in daycare was such a difficult decision for me, but I am so glad that I chose childcare network. I feel 100% comfortable with my son being there. The center is super clean, and the teachers are amazing. My son is in the 1 year old room, and he doesn't even mind going! He loves his teacher, Mrs. Lisa. The directer, Tracy Reeves, has always gone out of her way to make sure that all of my questions were answered and that we have the best daycare experience that we can. Everyone there knows my son by name, and is super friendly every time I am there. I am so thankful for this daycare for keeping my baby safe during the day while I am working!

8/31/2015We recently moved to Wilmington and were able to get our 7 month old into the Childcare Network on New Center and absolutely LOVE IT! We are warmly welcomed daily and the teachers take great care of our little boy. In my opinion, the teachers work together efficiently and keep all babies safe, well fed, and happy. After trying a few other day cares in the area, I can honestly say this is a great one!

8/10/2015Leaving your child in daycare is always a difficult decision, but one many of us as parents have to make. I couldn't be happier with my decision in child care providers. I know every day when I send my son to "school" he is learning, thriving and above all else being loved. My son is in the two year old room and I can truly say his teachers treat him like one of their own. I love Mandy and Meeka (my son's teachers) and how they work with me and my husband so that we are all on the same page. All the teachers and staff are always so friendly and positive and I love how not just my son's assigned teacher but all of the teachers know who my son is. I always feel secure knowing my son is in safe environment when I drop him off each day. That became even more evident to me a few weeks ago when we were hit with that terrible storm (the micro burst) it was like a mini tornado. When I arrive to pick up my son, myself and a few other parents were frazzled but to me my surprise and happiness the children were calm as could be even with the power out. It was so apparent that the staff had been through extensive training for sever storms they had the children in the hallway, safe, calm and happy. I'm so happy with our Childcare Network Family!

12/3/2014We have two children who attend Childcare Network. 2yr old and Infant. Their teachers are wonderful and we really enjoy the relationships we have come to build with them in the time that our children have attended. Our son is excited to go to school and it was easy to leave our infant daughter in their care knowing she was in such good hands. I have personally recommended them to many friends with children.

11/18/2014Words cannot describe how much both my Daughter and I LOVE every single teacher and staff member at this Childcare Network location. Each teacher treats my 2 1/2 year old munchkin like she is their own and I dont have to tell you how important that is to us as parents. I cant help but laugh in the mornings when we are on our way to daycare and my munchkin says " Mommy guess where we're going... to see Mika and Mandy (her teachers) at Jennifer and Tracey's house (the daycare directors) Lol. This is one of the many, many reasons that I highly recommend This Childcare Network!!!!!
