What parents say

We’re honored to play a part in your child’s early years. Here’s what some of our amazing families have shared.

As a new mom navigating life post-pandemic and returning to the workforce, I was full of nerves and uncertainty when it was time to send my son to daycare. The entire staff made the transition very comfortable for both my son and I from multiple photos and updates throughout the day to seeing his smiling face at pickup. Their patience, compassion, and genuine love for the children shines through in everything they do. My son has grown so much emotionally, socially, and developmentally since starting here. They’ve been more than I ever could’ve asked for in a daycare. I will forever be grateful for the role they’ve played in our family’s journey. I highly recommend BNCCC to any parent looking for a place where their child will not only be cared for, but truly loved!

The Daycare is amazing. The Teachers/ Staff there are so helpful people. My oldest went here and now my youngest does. They are very great with kids.

Tiffany H Parents

There's not another place I could ever imagine sending my kids! I have two kiddos that attend, a 2 year old and school ager. We have been there for almost 6 years now and many more to come! Their staff is the best around and my girls love them all so much. All of the staff is quick to answer any questions, keep us updated throughout the day, and accommodate any allergies or health concerns. They always have fun activities planned and things coming to the daycare for the kiddos to do. Holidays are always so much fun with class parties, Easter egg hunt, and Trunk or treat every year. Summer is nonstop fun with splash days, bounce house days, field trips for the older kiddos, and some sweet treats. We love this daycare so much 🫶

Birdies Nest is the Best! They have such highly trained and certified staff. Everyone there is so friendly and you can tell they truly have a passion for working with young kids. They also have lots of developmentally appropriate activities for all ages. My son runs out the door every morning so excited to get to Birdies. It is such a relieving feeling to know they are safe, loved, and learning while I am at work. On top of that, I love their family events they host. There isn’t another place I would want to send my babies! I know they are in the best hands.

Mariah J Parents

Birdies Nest is hands down the best daycare. I have two children at the center (infant and school-age) and I don’t have to be concerned with the care they are receiving. They make school-age activities so fun and engaging. They have been beyond accommodating and understanding of my son and his specialized diet. I am beyond grateful knowing my children are cared for and loved by the best!!!

Shelby G Parents

My daughter is attending Birdies nest for Pre-K and we love it there! She is so excited to go everyday and she loves to tell me about all the things she did that day. She has learned so much and has really improved with her speech with the speech therapist they have go there! Everyone there is fantastic! Very clean and neat childcare/pre-k center. 🩷

Alyissa S Parents

I have twins that are attending the four year old program and they love it!! They were also willing to work with us for part time wrap around care to accommodate our families needs! They also use an app and update what the kids have been up to throughout the day which is great piece of mind, especially if you're a worry momma like me! The staff is so great and they're all so kind!

Attie S Parents

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to send my first baby. They have taught my daughter so much and care for her so well! I appreciate how many updates I receive throughout her day and how well her teachers communicate with us. My daughter is always so excited to be at daycare! 🫶

Hailey H Parents

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this daycare. The curriculum is truly amazing—engaging, age-appropriate, and designed to help the kids grow in every way. But what really sets this place apart is the staff. Every single person there loves the children like their own, and it shows in the way they interact, teach, and care for them. Our kids are thriving, and we feel so grateful knowing they’re in such a warm, nurturing, and enriching environment every day they are there.

Whitney A Parents

We have been going to Birdie’s since my daughter was 3mo old. I know my daughter is well taken care of, safe, and thriving! The staff is top notch! The director and her family love each child like they’re her own. The experiences and opportunities they give the kids is priceless. Everyone is kind, extremely generous, loving and supportive. We love being a part of the BN community ❤️
