Finding the right childcare
in Siler City & Southern Pines

Siler City earned its place in pop culture history when actress Frances Bavier, best known as Aunt Bee from "The Andy Griffith Show," retired to the town in 1972 and made it her home until her death—she even left a $100,000 trust fund to the local police department. Nestled in the North Carolina Sandhills, Southern Pines has been a world-renowned golf destination since 1906, when the Southern Pines Golf Club opened as one of Donald Ross's earliest original designs.
