My son and daughter have been attending the Smoke Rise location for almost 3 years and we…read moreabsolutely love it. They learn though play and go outside every day, even when it is raining. They get to dig around in the garden. They are always treated with respect at all times and are encouraged to question and explore. The Smoke Rise campus is TSS' newest campus so it has doubled or tripled in size since we joined. As a result there has been some staff turnover, but the staff still changes much less than any school we previously attended. Their Reggio Emilia approach has my children feeling capable and confident. Why can't all schools be like this one!?

I was told 300 and called them up to confirm and for an explanation of what to expect. The not so friendly Renee told me the 300.00 included 1 month of lessons for 45 mins each and 1/week reherersal. Fine. How do I pay I asked? "Ummmm..... well you can just send me your info in an emai.....l I guess....."WTF? okay..... No thanks, I will just pay in person when I come. When I arrived Renee wasn't there and apparently neither was anyone else who could process my payment. Not only that -they were not ready for my daughter either and suggested that I take off and that she "hang out" there for about an hour and half with them. She's 8!! ok...... Surely they mean that there are some other kids perhaps in the same situation and they have some activities planned for them or something along those lines. I quickly figured out that was not the case as I watched the instructors skip out to lunch. Since no else said anything else to me I decided to sit and wait with my daughter until they returned and made time for her....A few days later I checked my bank account only to find that school of rock had charged me double. #$%^&*(. And when I called and spoke with the owners Mike and Renee, they cheerfully responded with sarcasm and reassured me again that "WE DONT GIVE A SHIT!!!!!" AND just to make sure that I got the message Mike sent me a cheerful email..with all exclaimation points..that he PERSONALLY DOESN"T GIVE 2 SHITS!!! . My next issue with these assclowns. After talking to my daughter I realized she was not receiving the private lessons I was paying for....so I emailed the owners. Who again treated me with zero respect. Ok, i get it. You are in a prime buckhead location, making money hand over fist and DONT GIVE A SHIT but really...that's just not cool. I emailed Mike AGAIN for my refund and this time he didn't respond with all all excamation points!! hey! Christina! We don't give a shit!!! So maybe I will get my well deserved refund. In the meantime, all the instructors seem nice and my mini me likes coming here..which makes the fact that owners don't care about customer service all the more incredibly frustating.

I love the people of Endeavor, they are amazing and truly care about the kids…read more I know they probably do not control the prices, but the pricing is insane. We knew going into this that it was expensive, but what we didn't realize is that for the VERY high price, there are still so many HIDDEN FEES! My son was there for 6 months (started in January) and we were charged $600 for a mat and activity fee. He was 6 months old.. had been there for not even a year, and our first "mat fee" was FREE. Not to mention infants have the highest tuition and it was still on us to provide their food - and i dont mean bottles - i mean snacks, baby food.. I didn't even realize that food was BARE mimimum ! If you have the money and are willing, it's 100% worth it, but if you are a working parent who doesn't have a ton of excess money, go somewhere else. They will charge you an arm and a leg. Talking from experience.

He is currently a student at one of the best private schools in the city yet due to a label they wouldn't even look at him.

I decided to keep him at his current private school and would never recommend ASS to others. Highly arrogant and rude front office staff.

The Waldorf School has been a magical experience for our daughter, especially during such uncertain…read moretimes. The quality of teachers and administration is beyond amazing. The community is open-hearted and the education and social setting has allowed our daughter to transform her anxiety into confidence and joy. Simply put, she LOVES school and begs me to let her stay as long as possible in aftercare. The way the administration has reinvented in-person learning during the pandemic is nothing short of inspirational. The outdoor classrooms are located on 6-acre, wooded campus that is buzzing with excitement, music and laughter. As an adult what I've discovered in my career (and life) is that I'm happiest during moments of being creative. This being said, the most significant thing I've witnessed in our daughter's journey at Waldorf is a blossoming of her inherent creativity which translates into more moments of happiness. As a mother I couldn't want anything more for my child. If you're looking for a heart-centered school that will nurture child's hunger to learn, grow and be be happy, I strongly encourage you to schedule a tour and whiteness the beauty of this education and school!

This was my daughter's first pre-school and she has grown so much over the past year. At the age of 2, she has even started sounding out letters and can read each letter of the alphabet.

In the middle of the year she had some separation anxiety as part of her development and the staff were so great (esp Miss Melanie) in keeping us updated. They worked with my daughter and after a week she was totally fine. She loves school and we're looking forward to another year at Decatur First. Thank you to Miss Melanie and her team!

My grandsons attended this school and I thought it would be great for them, my oldest is four and…read morehe was in my opinion bullied by the four women in the office, none of them have ANY children of their on btw, he was sent to the office for random things that normal little boys do, made him feel belittled and insecure, he was having breakdowns in the office knowing he was going to be sent home, he was saying he didn't want to be bad, he wanted to stay, they even called once because a cup of his was accidentally thrown in the trash can, the teachers seemed concerned enough over the office staff that they exchanged personal phone numbers with my daughter in law, my daughter in law was being called nearly daily with total nonsense from these women, after about a month of this insanity my daughter in law was crying on a daily basis from these women continued stress, we checked with a Christian school nearby and he has been there about four months and has had zero issues, absolutely nothing, we found out these women are partial to female students and any male student that acts like a male is put into a very bad category, we also found out that several female students left because their mothers saw how things are ran there even though their children was not discriminated against, they are now at the same Christian school, one of the mothers is very intelligent and in the medical profession, so she has plenty of common sense so she figured things out rather quickly, the teachers were nice but they go through them quickly, the teachers also do not care for these women in the office, several were kind enough to let us know it wasn't my grandson but the other way around, my grandson went through thousands of dollars worth of testing by professionals to tell us his IQ was over 135, and he was very distracted, so the Doctor suggested it is even higher than that, how disappointing to know these people that run the show are in charge of taking tiny children's self esteem away and make them feel inferior, crying all the time, saying people don't like him, he's four years old, no child of any age should have to go through this, male or female, save yourself some time and your child's feelings and enroll them somewhere else, these babies are precious and deserve better...

I cant say enough good things about both of my daughters experiences at Dunwoody Prep. The teachers…read moreand staff are absolutely phenomenal. It was like a second home for our girls. Everyone is very nurturing, caring, and warm. The teachers and staff are like family to us. My girls were so well prepared for kindergarten and have such a good foundation for their future education. The entire staff came together during the COVID-19 pandemic and set up a virtual pod for elementary school aged students. It was a godsend for our daughter and for us. She was able to be in a school setting and have some normalcy related to school despite COVID. She also developed some incredible friendships during that time. The other parents and families are wonderful and very down to earth . I feel so fortunate that we were able to be a part of the DP community for over 4 years. I miss it!

We are on our second year at Preschool at the Heights (PATH), after expensively dropping out of a…read moresimilar morning program that was an awful fit. We are so grateful to have found PATH. The people who run this school are awesome. Director Michelle is competent, positive, and flexible - that's a powerful triad. She somehow knows every kid's name and personality. The music teacher Mr. Gus is a talented performer with the patience of Job, and goes far beyond the usual itsy-bitsy-baby songs in his classes. The class teachers are dedicated and effective (a ton of them are former PATH parents). We've taken to calling the 1-yr-old class teachers "the Dream Team" because they're so good with the toddlers. You really get the impression that the people working there are doing so because they just like being there. Honestly, even the parents are a little different than other morning programs we've been to - it's more laidback and friendly, and there is more a sense of community. The whole vibe of the place has none of the competitive Image-Crafting Perfect-Hair Mom-Shaming I figured came standard at all morning programs. PATH has random family nights throughout the year just for families to come and hang out (instead of the usual semiannual high-pressure fundraiser). The only bad parts - their playground areas aren't as nice as those of some other morning programs, although they are good enough and they're slated for improvements. It's a smaller school, so there are fewer dedicated "specials" teachers. However they still fill a slate of Science, Spanish, and Music specials with lots of art and outside time.
