The Cary School For Development & Early Education

We’ve had an amazing experience at The Cary School! The teachers and staff are kind, compassionate, and truly thoughtful. Our child is well-prepared for kindergarten thanks to the enriching activities and supportive environment. We also love all of the outdoor play time and facilities. We’ve been thrilled with the school for years and highly recommend it!

We absolutely love The Cary School and are so grateful to have found such a nurturing and caring environment! The owner and director are truly passionate about early childhood education and it shows in every aspect of the school. They are always available, approachable, and attentive to both the children and parents. The level of care and dedication they bring creates a warm, supportive atmosphere where kids can thrive. The Cary School became a second family to us over the years and we have recommended the school to everyone we know with preschool age kids.

For us, the Cary School has been a great experience. Our child had great support in her adaptation process. Coming from another country and this being her first place of education, the teachers, administrative staff, and director showed her support, emotional guidance, kindness, and love from the first day. That's worth gold to us as parents. At the educational level, it's incredible how she's already learned the language and how she surprises us almost every day with new knowledge! We truly appreciate being part of this great team.

We have had the privilege to send our two daughters to The Cary School since they were both infants. Our oldest is now 5 and will be off to K in the fall, while our youngest has one more year of pre-k. Each and every teacher and staff member at the school has been remarkable. They are the village we always hoped our girls would have. Our girls feel loved, cared for, challenged and are both thriving. The curriculum is well thought out, the girls love the different activities and units and they love Chef Pedro’s meals. The special programs and events they create and present are beyond good, they are just incredible. The Cary School is and has been my girls home away from home. I’m going to be so sad when we have to say good-bye next year.

As first time parents, we had no understanding of the differences in local daycares/preschools, we felt fortunate to have found an opening in the newborn classroom. Knowing the length of time we would leaving our child every day, our only hope was to find an environment where our child felt loved and safe. What we discovered was a school that was so much more. Over the past five years, both of our daughters have called The Cary School home. They've journeyed through every stage—from the newborn days through toddlerhood, twos and into preschool. Each transition has been supported by staff who truly know and care for our kids. The depth of dedication became clear at our first parent-teacher conference. We were amazed to learn about the thoughtful planning, careful assessment, and intention that goes into each child's development. The weekly lesson plans continue to impress us, as do the learning experiences our daughters encounter daily. The staff has created an environment where learning feels like play—so much so that our girls actually miss school during vacations and eagerly anticipate returning. Beyond academics, The Cary School has become our second family. Our daughters are greeted with hugs each morning, encouraged to create and explore their imaginations, discover through hands-on learning stations, venture outdoors and build lasting friendships. As we prepare to send our first Cary School graduate to kindergarten, we're filled with gratitude for the love, time, and expertise the teachers and leadership have invested in both our daughters. They haven't just prepared our children academically—they've nurtured them into confident, curious and caring human beings. The Cary School didn't just meet our hopes; it has exceeded them in every way.
