Great center - What I expect for a 5 star!!

by andybs at Citysearch

We've been at other five star facilities in the area, and All-Starz is heads above the others. Both of our children have been at All-Starz for the past year and a half with one starting in the infant room and the other in the 3 year old room. We've been very pleased with our experience in both cases.

The owners are very engaged with the parents welcoming and asking for feedback. They pay attention to the little things that in my view go along way . They're always at the door every morning welcoming the parents, helping out. Joe even tries to cover umbrella duty on rainy days.

The teachers have been superb with great projects that tie into themes for the week which all create a great environment for learning.

The facility indoors provides a vibrant, clean environment for the children with an indoor gym that helps on those cold and rainy days. The playground is fantastic. This summer they actually were able to plant a garden. I also like the fact that there is a nice separation with the older kids in kid zone.

Five star facilities are certainly not cheap, but the center is on par with others and I can honestly say that I have not questioned the cost as we've done in the past at other centers.

• Pros: Fantastic teachers, engaged management, wonderful facilities

Great People, Great Place

My family and kids that attend have loved All Starz from the moment they opened, and the feelings only get better day to day. The owners know exactly what they are doing with building the best in class care for infants on up. The staff is the friendliest and most knowledgeable I have seen (and I have seen them all).

• Pros: Excellent, Well-Knowledged, Caring Teachers and Owners

This is a Wonderful Center

I am not sure the other reviewer knows enough about this center to have developed credible or such strong opinions since they never enrolled their child here. My children have been enrolled in All Starz for over a year and we love it. We had been at another 5 star center down the street for a while, and it was okay, but when All Starz opened we decided to make the move and we are so glad we did. The person who I believe the other reviewer is referencing, who I agree was not great, is no longer at All Starz. There has been some teacher turnover, but certainly no more than what we have seen happen at other centers, and at All Starz it seems to be in an effort to make improvements (i.e., it is not good staff leaving because they are unhappy - it is often to make room for better staff). The family that built and owns the center is onsite every day, and they do an amazing job. We feel so good about having our children at All Starz. Simply put, there is a long list of reasons why I think this is the best center in the Triangle.

• Pros: Great owners, great staff, great equipment
• Cons: None
