Finding the right childcare
in High Point

High Point earned its nickname as the Furniture Capital of the World, hosting the High Point Market—the largest home furnishings industry trade show globally—twice yearly since 1909. The city sits at the heart of North Carolina's furniture manufacturing heritage, with 60% of all American furniture originating from within 125 miles of High Point at the industry's peak. Today, this legacy continues to define the city's identity as a center of design and craftsmanship. Greensboro's neighbor High Point (pop. 115,429) is home to 5 North Carolina-licensed childcare centers we evaluated. We scored each DCDEE-licensed childcare center across 11 real dimensions — safety, curriculum, arts & music, infant care, kindergarten readiness and more. Scores drawn from major public review platforms and parent communities — not center marketing.

KinderNoggin is a NC 5-star preschool on Eastchester Drive in High Point's 27265 zip code, purpose-built for children ages 1–5 with an academically driven, home-like philosophy. The center's decade-long perfect sanitation and fire safety records, college-degree-only hiring policy, and free enrichment in Spanish, science, arts, and music distinguish it sharply from standard daycare competitors. Its 2023 NC Pre-K Teacher of the Year honoree reflects a staff culture of genuine educational commitment.

Strengths

  • NC 5-star licensed with 10-year superior sanitation rating and 10-year fire inspection compliance record — exceptional facility stewardship
  • College-degree requirement for all teaching hires; rigorous academic focus uncommon in the daycare market
  • NC Pre-K classrooms (two available); weekly Spanish, Science, Art, and Music enrichment at no additional cost
  • Small intimate setting (90-child max) fosters home-like atmosphere described in center mission
  • Ann Kirby Teacher of the Year award (2023) for NC Pre-K lead teacher reflects staff caliber

Considerations

  • Serves only ages 1–5; no infant care below 12 months and no school-age aftercare
  • No public Google or Yelp review aggregate found; public review footprint is thin despite strong reputation
  • Hours (7:30 am – 6:00 pm) are slightly narrower than competing centers in the area
What parents say
“Their curriculum standards are far more than other childcare centers. The owners take hiring seriously — only people with college degrees. Lesson plans are adhered to and they don't waiver from the strict laws set up by the state.”

Considerations

  • Chain-operated model may feel less individualized than locally-owned independent centers in the area
What parents say
“I was amazed on how well they took care of the children.

Serving 123 children from 6 weeks through age 12, the center offers KinderCare's structured play-based curriculum and has been led by center director Ashley Flowers since 2012. Parent feedback highlights kind, professional staff and measurable child development milestones.

Strengths

  • NAEYC accredited — a rigorous national accreditation earned by fewer than 10% of childcare programs
  • Full age range from infants (6 weeks) through school-age (12 years), including before- and after-school care
  • KinderCare's proprietary curriculum covers early academics, literacy, science, social-emotional development, and creativity
  • Director Ashley Flowers has been with KinderCare since 2012, providing stable experienced leadership
  • Subsidized child care program accepted

Considerations

  • Only 1 Yelp review on record — limited public review presence makes comparative analysis difficult
  • National chain model may feel less personalized than locally owned independent centers
  • 4-star rather than 5-star DCDEE rating; does not hold the highest NC quality tier
What parents say
