REVIEWS:
“Everyone at Carolina Kinder is informative and very sweet to my 6-month-old. We specifically recommended to Carolina Kinder by our pediatrician for our baby’s plagiocephaly and brachycephaly and his need for a cranial band. They go above and beyond with your insurance company to make sure that you’re getting the maximum amount covered for the helmet. I would recommend Carolina Kinder to anyone in the greater Charlotte area looking for people that genuinely care about your kiddos!” – Courtney C.

“This place is amazing! They are friendly and caring. My son had no trouble opening up to the therapists there. He loved it so much we almost couldn’t get him to leave! They let a parent stay with their child if they choose and I love that. I learn how to manage his energy creatively and direct his play positively by watching. They don’t let siblings back in the therapy rooms which really helps keep distractions down so he can focus.” – St. Clair
