LeafSpring School Ballantyne

We absolutely love Leafspring at Ballantyne! From the moment we enrolled our 4-year-old, we’ve been blown away by the kindness, encouragement, and holistic approach to education. Having moved from out of town, we weren’t sure what to expect, but in just four months, we’ve seen incredible growth—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our child is thriving and well on his way to being Kindergarten-ready (with another year to go!), plus we’ve also noticed a positive shift in his behavior. The teachers are nurturing and dedicated, the front desk staff is warm and communicative, and the entire community is welcoming. We truly couldn’t ask for a better environment for our child’s early learning experience. We can’t wait to send our second child here when the time comes!

Highly recommend!

Shortly after moving to Charlotte I had to find a daycare facility for my kids. I was nervous about the experience as my kids had been in the same school since they were infants and change was scary to all of us. I scheduled a call with LeafSpring and it was the best decision I ever made. LeafSpring is more than a daycare center, it’s a place that prepares your kids for the future. They have a solid academic program that nurtured my kids’ natural curiosity paired with teachers that genuinely cares for the kids. I was also pretty excited about the fact that, unlike other centers, a LeafSpring has an in house chef that serves nutritious food everyday. For me, a picky eater mom, that meant my child saw everyone eating what he was eating, which aided his treatment tremendously.

Both my kids entered elementary school reading and writing, counting and socially ready. They’re...

Very pleasurable experience with my child. Thank you Leafspring staff for all you do!

We cannot say enough good things about LeafSpring Ballantyne. We were so sad when we moved out of state and had to leave LeafSpring. The entire staff and teachers provided a great experience and support especially for first time parents. The infant teachers and Ms Essence are one of a kind.

My 4 year old has attended two other schools/daycares prior to Leafspring & Leafspring is her favorite. Her teachers love her, and the staff, including those in the office and nurse. They take care of her, send updates on a daily basis, and make the kids feel seen, counted, loved, and listened to. We have not encountered a single teacher that didn't love her. She's had Ms. Emily, Ms. Zoe, Ms. Tina, Ms. Kristen, Ms. Crystal. They always show joy when they greet the children. This is also where she learned to talk, alleviating the need for speech therapy. We love this school, the teachers, and staff. It might actually be too much fun for the kiddos, one we can't match at home in terms of level of activity. From the day we opted for the wait-list, to enrolment, to day to day, they have helped and supported us. She made many friends here. Keep it up, one of the best in South Charlotte.

I Love LeafSpring the teachers truly Love the students!

My son is 4 years old and we have reached out to LeafSpring after his previously attended pre-school shut down due to Covid in summer last year. LeafSpring was so helpful, understanding and patient with us as a newly enrolling family in this unusual time. Although my son does not do well transitioning he immediately fell in love with his new teachers and has talked about them kindly ever since. We were amazed by the academic progress he has made. He has learned all his letters, numbers, Science and Social Studies in Leafspring and has improved his communication skills and vocabulary. He has also developed socially and found new friends. He loves the outdoor space and playground and we appreciate having chef prepared meals and several extra curriculum activities. LeafSpring has also developed great strategy to stay safe as much as possible during the pandemic. Although the pandemic has...

This is best after school my Daughter attends in Charlotte. Staff is absolutely great and very helpful. My Daughter really loves this school. Thank you leaf spring!

The campus is much bigger than it seems from the roadway. Kids seem happy to be there and that’s a clue!

We have enjoyed sending our daughter to LeafSpring this summer. They have such a great variety of activities daily & our daughter has enjoyed her time there this summer. We would definitely recommend! Staff is friendly and the location is very convenient.

We loved LeafSpring and Camp Blue Sky this year! We will definitely be back and were very pleased. Our daughter enjoyed her summer so much here and that means so much to us!

This has been our 2nd summer camp at Leafspring! We absolutely love it! The staff is so kind and caring. A special shout out to Sara, Elizabeth, Any, Ryan, Rachel and Maddie! You all helped to make my child’s summer camp experience an amazing one and I trust you all so very much. The kids get a delicious meal, great field trips and a clean, safe facility to spend time in. I am so glad that we found this location and we look forward to coming back next summer!

is very excited to recommend LeafSpring School Ballantyne

I have 3 kids, all close in age. My oldest daughter's transition to kindergarten was a piece of cake and it is because of what she learned at Leafspring. She is flourishing with school. My second daughter is currently a student there and I can't believe the growth. All positive! My third daughter will attend next year and I can't wait. ALL of the staff is genuine, friendly, and caring. I can not say enough good things about this school and the people who make it great!

I have 3 boys and I’ve been a part of the daycare scene for 14 years. I’ve seen a thing or two! Leafspring is top notch— teachers, staff, facilities, an art room that makes me want to be a kid again—they have it all. I’m very impressed by the amount of money constantly reinvested in the school. That really is rare in my experience. We are blessed to have Leafspring in our lives!

My both kids went to LeafSpring! Actually my daughter still going. I cannot express how much they love The school and their teachers! Mrs Amie and Mrs Akansha are so caring and fun!! Every time I go there I feel so welcomed by stuff and administration! They greed me by name and always there to answer to my questions ! My kids did not speak English before they attend to LeafSpring but after all they were ready for school ! So pleased!!!

Our son has been going there for almost 4 years. Each transition to a new teacher/classroom has been amazing. They have hand selected each teacher for each age group. All of the kids flourish and learn so much! Thank you LeafSpring Staff for loving our kiddo SO MUCH!
