is Saying
Hear how Foundations is making a lasting difference in the lives of children every day.
🤍 The teachers are amazing and teach the kids so much. Our son couldn’t be better prepared for his first year in “big kid school”.
- Vanessa
My child is truly thriving. He even asks me if he can come to school on the weekends! I love the daily updates, so I always know what is going on with my child.
- Miranda
My son has learned so much and is excited to go each day. Easily the best child care facility in town. ❤️
- Laura
Our daughter has been learning much more than she had at her prior daycare, and we love that she gets to have fun while also being in a great learning environment.
- Colbie
Foundations has been so very warm and welcoming. I love the atmosphere and vibes from all of the teachers and staff.

Meet Your Team
Miranda Fuente | Center Director
Hi, I’m Miranda Fuente! I’ve worked in early childhood education since 2016, with a special passion for infants and toddlers. I love building strong relationships with children and families while creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from UNC Charlotte and Early Childhood Administration Credentials from Central Piedmont Community College. After briefly pursuing social work, I returned to early childhood education because supporting young children during their most important developmental years is where my heart truly is.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and two dogs, exploring nature, shopping, and trying new restaurants.
We’d Love to Meet You!
Whether you’re ready to enroll or just exploring childcare options, we’re here to help you. Discover what makes Foundations special!
