LeafSpring School Ballantyne

My girls have been at LeafSpring for the last 5 years and we have loved every minute of it. The admin and teachers are wonderful!

Best daycare ever. This is our home away from home

We LOVE LeafSpring!! The best staff, teachers, curriculum - even for the littles!!

We love leafspring - our 3 year old has been there for 2 years and loves it - great teachers and he has learned so much since starting!

Really great place for our school aged kids. We loved the summer camp setting. Sure kept the kids busy all summer and now that school is back in session - the “Village” after care environment is wonderful.

Our family came to LeafSpring Ballantyne in August of last year and we have been extremely happy! The teachers and administrators are always warm, welcoming and you can truly tell they care about each family. Our son has thrived there, with teachers meeting him where he is and encouraging his growth. We always feel supported when approaching different milestones in his development. Our son asks to go to school on the weekends because he loves it there so much! We are beyond happy that we switched to LeafSpring Ballantyne and highly recommend it!

We transferred here from Boston mid-year. Despite joining in the middle of the year, my oldest 4-year-old was able to get adjusted pretty quickly and has told us on many occasions that she loves going to school! She is picking up good vocabulary and is developing her social skills well. They also have a bunch fun extracurricular programs. Miss Kiki and Miss Emily are amazing!

We also have an infant. She has made some best friends already and walks up to them when we drop her off - only crying during drop-off the first week or two. She is well-fed and loved by the amazing and loving teachers there: Miss Essence, Miss Jennifer, Miss B, Miss Marilee, and others.

Everyone who works here is professional and kind. My daughters are thriving and actually enjoy going to school. We are so happy to a part of the LeafSpring family! ❤️
Also, they provide food, diapers, etc so it makes your life as a working parent that must easier!

This is our fourth childcare facility in the Ballantyne area and it is THE BEST! We love the staff, curriculum and our little one is thriving. I recommend LeafSpring Ballantyne to everyone!

I cannot say enough positive things about Leafspring Daycare! My son has been attending for the past two years, and I’ve been incredibly impressed with the level of care and professionalism. Under Miss T's leadership, the daycare runs like a well-oiled machine. She holds her staff accountable, ensuring that each member maintains high standards of professionalism and care.

Having toured almost every full-day daycare in Charlotte, I can confidently say that Leafspring is the best by far. If you're considering enrolling your child, don’t hesitate—put their name on the waitlist!
The curriculum is enriching and has truly exceeded our expectations. My son has thrived in this environment, and it's evident that the staff genuinely knows and cares for each child.

The staff here is amazing! From the nursery to Summer Camp, each experience has been wonderful. Highly recommend!

In short, LeafSpring School at Ballantyne is everything you’d want in early childhood education and more.
The curriculum is thoughtfully designed around each child’s developmental needs—it’s not one-size-fits-all. The staff are not just educators—they’re compassionate, patient, and deeply committed to the children’s well-being. There’s a strong sense of diversity and inclusion amongst the staff and students which helps to create an environment that is warm, inviting, and most importantly, family-oriented. I feel blessed to work here and even luckier to have my child to not only graduate the program but to now enjoy his summers here as well. Thank you for making this community feel like home! 💚

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at LeafSpring! My son attended for the past two years and just graduated from Pre-K in June. The staff is absolutely incredible! They are caring, attentive, welcoming, and warm. They truly make the children feel loved and supported every single day. My son has grown tremendously here, both academically and socially, and he is more than ready for kindergarten thanks to the amazing foundation he received. We are so grateful for this community and are excited that our younger son will now get to attend as well!

Really nice campus! The teachers have all been very welcoming and we’re excited for the year to get started!

We’re so grateful to have found LeafSpring Ballantyne. The administrative staff and teachers are dedicated and supportive. From the very beginning, the staff welcomed our family and made us confident that our children were in experienced and nurturing hands. It’s comforting to know our children are encouraged and gently cared for every day. The daily activities are well-structured with a mix of learning tailored to the individual child, play time, and art/creativity. The facility is thoughtfully designed with young kids in mind. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a preschool that holds its staff to high expectations and goes above and beyond for the children.

After touring over a dozen daycares in the area, we were excited to enroll our infant in LeafSpring’s daycare program. Ms. Essence is kind and professional and we look forward to an exciting first year of daycare for our baby.

Leaf Spring has been nothing short of amazing for our family. From the very first day, we felt welcomed into a community that truly cares about children and their families. Both of our kids, Finn and Lucy, have grown so much here — not just academically, but socially and emotionally. They come home every day excited to tell us about their teachers, friends, and all the fun things they did.

The teachers are incredible — patient, kind, and genuinely invested in each child’s success. The communication from the school has given us so much peace of mind, always keeping us in the loop and making us feel like true partners in our kids’ journey. The field trips, special events, and creative classroom activities go above and beyond anything we could have hoped for.

We honestly feel so lucky to have found Leaf Spring. It’s more than just a daycare or preschool — it’s a...

We are very happy with leaf spring! The teachers and staff are wonderful! Our girl is learning and thriving!

My daughter LOVES Camp Blue Sky. So many fun activities and the counselors are great. We will definitely be back next year.

My daughter loves Camp Blue Sky and has been attending for a few years. The staff is amazing and they do a fantastic job of ensuring the kids have a fun-filled summer. Thank you’
