    I want to start off by recognizing that Goddard Chamblee has some amazing people on staff. I want…read moreto thank those people for doing their best to give my child a good experience. After ~2 years, I would say that I have been satisfied with my experience about 50% of the time enrolled and I am exploring new options for my children. Reasoning follows: 1. Staffing: constant turnover and short staffing lead inadequate teacher:child ratios. You will end up dropping off/picking up your child from different rooms and different faces frequently. Administration will not communicate staffing changes and deceptively leave up pictures of former staff on classroom boards. 2. Cleanliness: the 1-2 year old classroom has glue coming through the floorboards. It has been 6 months since first reported with no remedy. Do you want your kids crawling on this floor? (See picture). If you open the refrigerators or look in drawers or cabinets, you will be disgusted. Too many of the toys and books in the rooms are in very poor condition. 3. Learning Environment: It is difficult to provide a consistently rich learning environment when constantly short staffed and rotating through new faces. 4. Owner: She is rarely present except for when she is asking you for more money for one of her charitable tax write off initiatives.

    In February of this year, my son was enrolled in a different school. During his first week, he got…read moresick, and truly never got better. After two months attending, we found out his hearing was temporarily affected from the fluid in his ears and he was scheduled for tubes surgery. Unfortunately because of the sickness, he only spent two full weeks in school out of the two months period. Before the tubes were even put into place, my son was kicked out of the school with teachers claiming he was possibly autistic and more than they could handle. I came to Goddard Chamblee with paperwork in hand that the previous school handed me with my tail tucked between my legs also terrified that they would agree and turn my son away. After a quick discussion and a glance at the paperwork, they agreed that no child should ever be left behind and that the previous school didn't even give my son a chance. My son has now been enrolled at Goddard Chamblee for two months and has hit more milestones and thriving more than he ever has anywhere else. The teachers are so loving, nurturing, and patient. They work with my son to ensure he's truly a part of the class and I can tell they genuinely care about him. Words cannot express how thankful I am for Goddard Chamblee. And special shoutout to Ms. Wendy who truly makes his classroom seem like home.

    This is our first year at Tree of Life, and we truly believe it is a "diamond in the rough." Not…read moreonly is the school more affordable than most early childcare providers (and certainly less costly than any other Montessori programs in the area which are known to be quite expensive), but the quality of education is top notch. Prior to enrolling here, our son attended a language immersion school. The first year, he had an amazing teacher and made great progress socially and academically. The next two years, however, he began to regress due to high teacher turnover, inconsistent instruction, and a 13:1 student-teacher ratio that wasn't conducive to much individualized attention. The 6:1 class size at Tree of Life has allowed my son to get lots of 1:1 time with his teacher. In addition, the mixed-age classroom, which is a staple of Montessori education, has provided my son with the chance to learn from older students. Moreover, the student-led, choice-based instructional approach, which is also a key feature in Montessori classrooms, has provided my son with ample opportunity to explore his interests while developing independence, confidence, fine motor skills, and intellectual curiosity. A mathematician and Montessori certified educator, Marla understands the stages of child development, and the value of high rigor and hands-on kinesthetic learning. Her classroom management style is firm but fair, and her guidance has informed some of the ways my wife and I support our son at home. Marla has a genuine appreciation for multi-cultural education. She regularly teaches about other cultural traditions like Holi, Kwanzaa, and the Chinese New Year, and invites special guests (including parents) to enrich the classroom experience by sharing their unique talents and traditions. Marla sends an update (both written and via FB group) on what was taught each week and what is forthcoming, is very responsive to email and text messages, and takes multiple measures to ensure her classroom is clean and safe (i.e., locked door, classroom cameras, optional masking, temperature checks, etc.) If an affordable Montessori education, in a small, in-home setting, with a highly skilled and caring teacher is an ideal learning environment for your child; and if an 8:30-4pm pickup works with your schedule, I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tree of Life Montessori. It's a wonderful place!

    My daughter attended the school from the age 2 to 5 from 2008 to 2010. She loved the teacher,…read moreMarla, loved the cozy environment and the montessori method. I picked this school mainly because it was so close to my work, but ended up loving the school. Marla is very serious about teaching, very responsible, and dependable and I can feel very comfortable leaving my daughter every morning. She has only up to 6 kids in her classroom and each child gets plenty of her attention. Only thing I did not like much about was the long nap time...she had a difficult time sleeping at night. A few years after we moved out of Atlanta, we visited the school because I had a conference. She welcomed my daughter for the week that I was staying in Atlanta and she loved being back in the school. The school has such a welcoming, warm environment and this school is my gold standard for preschools.

    Terrible! Completely disorganized. My son is constantly being called by a different name. No one in…read morethe front office is ever available. My child has had several different teachers within 3 months of attending. They constantly are asking for me to bring diapers and extra clothes when his items are there (scattered around the many classrooms). Finally they found his many packs of diapers and clothes. His name was constantly butchered by his many teachers and at such a young age, learning his name is imperative. Where's the care? Hands on?? Why is there not any way to reach someone at the physical facility? God forbid I leave my key card, I can not gain access to my child without being chastised. The turnover rate is outrageous. Let's not forget the positive covid tests ! No protocols whatsoever.

    Removing my child from this daycare was the BEST decision ever. He no longer gets mistreated he is…read morethriving so much now. I contemplated even making this review but I feel as though parents should be made aware of the treatment my child had to endure. I knew something was not right when I was told by Mrs.Boiling herself that my brown son was a "angry child" it put a very disgusting taste in my mouth. I let that snarky remark go however it had become a constant thing for the teacher to purposely leave my child water cup in the classroom when they would go outside to me coming to pick him up and my child is sitting isolated in a corner by himself while other kids are playing and when I brought it up to her I was gaslighted by her saying that's the cool down corner when in fact she had been placing my child into time out which is against state regulations for some time I just so happened to see it with my own eyes. My child no longer comes home with pop or rashes due to him sitting in his stool for hours. Ironically I wish I would've withdrawn my son MUCH sooner. My child constantly saw a new face EVERY week turnover rate was extremely high and supposedly my child was the cause of a teacher not coming back I could go on and on about the things she and her assistant with the bad attitude would blame on my child a TODDLER instead of taking accountability for what they weren't doing. I would just be VERY mindful before leaving your kid in their care I can only imagine the treatment my son had to endure in their care. I only speak out now because of how well he's been thriving at his new daycare and now know there were things going on behind the scenes here that wasn't right so yeah just be mindful and listen to your kids when they give you pushback on no longer wanting to attend this daycare.
