Best CDC in Charlotte

We had just moved to Charlotte and got pregnant for the first time. Thus began the arduous task of selecting a CDC for our upcoming precious angel. Only the best would do. We looked. And looked. And then met Eleanor Toliver and her staff at First Ward CDC and knew that this was the place. We weren’t disappointed. In fact, over the six years we were there, two daughters before entering Pre-K, I can say it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made as parents. Is it perfect? Well, I don’t think perfection exists, but FWCDC is as close to perfect as we can tell looking back. The staff is friendly, helpful, and accessible. Our daughters were always safe and engaged. They took little field trips into town. There were always arts and crafts. There was even a Spanish immersion teacher who would come by and work with the kids.

We sent our son to First Ward CDC – a 3 year old boy who doesn’t speak a word of English. The Montessori group is unique! In addition, very warm teaching staff, the Director and administration staff are amazing. We felt like at the family table. Full confidence and a smile on your face. My son asked me to pick him up later because he is feeling great and having fun and this is the best review I can write.
