This is a great school! My daughter has been enrolled for a little over a year and we're amazed by her growth.

My son ( 3yrs old) and daughter (almost 2 yrs old) are absolutely thriving (learning and…read moresocializing). LSP is helping with everything from potty training to expanding my children's palates. They also love their teachers and new friends at school so much. An important factor for me was the diversity of the school we enrolled them in and I must say that this is the most diverse environment that we experienced when we toured different options. Lastly, I'm incredibly impressed with LSP's approach to providing a safe space during covid-19. Couldn't recommend them more!

Our first child was enrolled here from approximately June 2022 to June 2023. We ultimately withdrew…read morehim because he came home with four bites in one single day. We were not notified of the incident at the time that it happened. Rather, my wife was told that there was an incident report when she went to pick up our child that day. She was simply told that our child was "bit." We assumed this meant just once. (He had been bitten once in the past). Later that day, my wife was astonished to find four separate and deep bite marks on him. I am posting pictures with this review. When we asked his teacher what happened, she claimed that the children were lining up to go outside and another child bit him. This made no sense. Surely the teacher would have noticed my child crying in pain after bite 1 or 2 (or even 3) in order to intervene and stop the remaining bites had anyone been paying any attention to my child. The next day, I went into the office of the director, Laura Licea, to bring the matter to her attention. Astonishingly, she did not seem to know what happened. I told her about my discussion with the teacher and told her that I could only conclude that my child was not being watched if he was bit four times in one day. Laura claimed she would investigate the matter to learn what happened. I saw her numerous times over the next two weeks, and she pretended like nothing ever happened and never followed up with me. Our child only remained there over the next two weeks or so because we were looking for a new daycare to transition him to. Once we found one, we withdrew him sometime in June 2023. On or around June 13, 2023, I received a call from Sarah Odell with Little Sunshine's corporate office. Sarah was inquiring as to why we were withdrawing our son from Little Sunshine's. I asked her if she was aware of the bites. She stated that she was not. I then informed her what happened and sent her photos of the bites at her request. I was candid with her that we were withdrawing our child regardless of what happened, but that I would appreciate someone following up with me as to how my child was permitted to be bitten four times in one day. Sarah was adamant she would get in touch with Laura and follow up with me; she never did. The only conclusion that I can draw is that this place is ran horribly both on the local and corporate level. Ever since we withdrew our child, I have regretted not posting this review. I am doing so now after reading a news article on 11alive.com, dated January 15, 2025, which reports that a toddler at Little Sunshine's has died after choking on a piece of fruit in the daycare. I can't help but think, had I posted this review at the time the events happened to my child then maybe I could have dissuaded at least some parents from enrolling their children into this daycare, and quite possibly the parents of this poor child. I express my sincere condolences to that family.

And now that he is in kindergarten, the bus picks him up and gets him where he needs to be, no issues. Everyone here is so friendly. Now onto the facilities. They are the nicest I've ever seen. The kids do cooking classes, play sports, (indoor and outdoor), and do art in a designated studio. There is even a bowling alley inside!! There are multiple playgrounds outside and the space is roomy and airy. Most importantly, it is super clean. You won't regreat checking these guys out.

We have been with CLAA Milton for about three and a half months, and choosing this school has truly…read morebeen one of the best decisions our family has made. We drive 35-45 minutes each day (and anyone who knows about GA traffic knows that's no small thing), but it is absolutely worth it. From the administrative team to the teachers--and even staff from other classrooms--the level of care and love shown to the children is phenomenal. As a first-time mom, I am so grateful to have found a school like this. My son is in the Transition class (three-year-olds), and his teacher, Ms. Taylor, is nothing short of amazing. She is sweet, kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. You can genuinely feel how much she loves and cares for my son every time I drop him off and pick him up. She is always communicative, open to suggestions, and consistently offers thoughtful feedback and guidance. It truly feels like we are part of a village, working together as a team. The warmth extends far beyond the classroom. Ms. Vicky, Ms. Pam, and Ms. Doris are all incredibly kind, nurturing, and loving. They greet my son with so much care each day, and it speaks volumes that every morning he stops to give everyone a hug. That alone tells me how safe, loved, and comfortable he feels at school. There are also days when I come to pick him up and he doesn't want to leave and that says everything. Knowing that my child is happy, engaged, and genuinely enjoys being there brings me so much peace as a parent. The hospitality from the administrative staff each morning and afternoon is just as incredible. Ms. Erica brings such positive, welcoming energy that it honestly makes you want to stay a little longer after drop-off. Ms. Hope is a director who truly leads by example--she isn't hidden away in an office. She is present, visible, engaging with parents, walking through classrooms, and supporting staff hands-on. You can see her involvement daily, not just during meetings or special moments. What truly sets CLA Milton apart is the openness and communication. Any time there is a concern, everyone is willing to have conversations and address things head-on. It is such a family-oriented environment, and that level of support is priceless. This review honestly doesn't even do the school justice. It's something you truly have to experience. I am so grateful that I stumbled upon CLA Milton, and I cannot wait for our family to continue growing here for years to come. Family, if you're looking for a school, this is it. Schedule a visit and you'll be so happy you did. It's truly one of the best decisions you can make for your child. - Hall & Fall Family

My Son has been a thriving student at Brookside Academy since September 2015…read more Our Son came into our lives with very little preparation. The day after he came home with us, we had an appointment at a local church daycare. They assured us he would have a spot in April when I returned to work after my leave. In the end we had to find something at the last minute. As teachers we had the summer to do research. We visited quite a few places. We found Brookside Academy and the moment we called they told us to come right over. Unlike many of the other places, the staff was warm and welcoming. The children looked happy and loved. The facility was clean and well maintained. When our Son started in September of 2015, he had a helmet he had to wear on particular schedule and they didn't even flinch. He ended up not needing the helmet nearly as long because of their attention to detail. When he was getting a rash from the cleaners they use to sterilize the changing pad, they changed their protocol in changing him to make sure he didn't come in contact with that cleaner. They also searched and found a cleaner that was just as effective in killing the germs but was gentler for skin. He has loved every teacher he has had so far. On Monday he started in his third room and his first day being the youngest child in the room went off without a hitch. My child turned two this past weekend and can count almost to 20. He knows his Alphabet, his colors, is working on letter recognition, lots of songs, potty training, and most of all kindness and empathy. Our whole family couldn't be happier. We love Brookside!

I cannot speak highly enough of the amazing teachers of my 2 kids. Ms Suzi, Ms Paty, Ms Vanita and Ms Tugba all make my kids thrive and love them like their own! The whole center is a pleasant, engaging, exciting, and safe environment for my kids. All the teachers/management/chef honestly deserve a shout out for their hard work everyday!

We've been at Goddard for a little over a year now and love it more and more by the day! It was so…read morehard for me to drop my first born off with strangers at such a young age, but from the beginning Goddard has been nothing but kind and loving towards him. As a teacher myself, I appreciate the emphasis they put on education, as he has learned more than I could have ever imagined. The entire staff is constantly going above and beyond each and every week to make learning a BLAST. It is super apparent that creating a fun learning environment is a high priority. A few other things to note is their top notch communication efforts. We are always in the know about every thing! As well as the diversity, which can be hard to find in this area. I love that my son gets to celebrate our traditions while also learning about cultures different than his. Lastly, my son is HIGH ENERGY and can be a lot at times. The entire staff at Goddard has never once made us feel like he is a burden, in fact quite the opposite. They have always welcomed his energy with open arms and big smiles, which is huge for me! I love seeing him so happy to run into school every day! Thank you to everyone at Goddard Winward for taking such good care of our kiddo!

I toured and signed up for a 4 day spot at the Goddard School (Windward Pkwy). I was required to…read morepay a deposit fee plus an entire month's tuition up front to secure my spot ($1700 total). 24 hours later I received a message from the school I was on a waitlist for that a 5 day spot was now available, which is what we really needed. I explained to Goddard management that the other school was 5 min from my house, less expensive, and most importantly had a 5 day spot available. I asked if I could at least get some of my money back given the circumstances. They refused to give me back ANY of the $1700 deposit despite the fact that they only had it for less than 48 business hours. My child never even visited the school. They claimed that I could have taken a spot from someone else. I paid them Thursday afternoon and informed them Monday morning about my change of plans. If someone visited Friday who wanted that spot, am I really supposed to believe they couldn't have contacted them immediately on Monday to let them know about an opening? I reached out again and was told they never filled the spot. So if you couldn't fill that spot anyway, why couldn't I get even half of my money back? It's not like we took someone else's spot (according to them anyway). The school we ended up joining didn't require any deposit to secure my spot, and the owner purposely enrolls less students than the GA requirement to provide a better and more nurturing environment. My son has about 13 kids in his class vs. the 20+ children in the Goddard class. It's clear that the owner is all about money and posting on social media. I am so happy we found a better place for my child.

We recently withdrew our 3-year-old from The Goddard School in Crabapple after a very concerning…read moreexperience with communication. On March 16, we received an email stating that our son had been experiencing significant behavioral challenges "over the past several months," including safety and hygiene concerns, and that we should seek an alternative placement. This was the first time we had ever been informed of concerns of this magnitude. If a school truly believes a child is struggling behaviorally or may need additional support, parents should be informed early and consistently, not for the first time in a single email recommending removal. After requesting documentation multiple times, the school was only able to provide one minor incident report (throwing a toy) and routine app logs, with no formal records reflecting the ongoing pattern of serious concerns that had been described. We fully understand that not every classroom is the right fit for every child. However, if there were genuine concerns regarding our child's behavior or development, those should have been clearly communicated and documented well before recommending that he leave the program. The lack of communication, documentation, and partnership with parents in this situation was extremely disappointing. We have since moved our son to another daycare where communication has been much more proactive and collaborative.

As a first time mom, I was so nervous to start my first born son in a daycare/school setting but we…read moretoured this Goddard and everyone was so incredible. We have since started our daughter Charlotte there and she is doing fabulous as well. My son is now almost 2.5 and he comes home to tell me everyday about all the new things he has learned. He has had some amazing teachers throughout his classes and I'm looking forward to my daughter having the same ones. We recommend this school to all of our friends.

The teachers are wonderful and do truly care about the children! The tadpoles app is great as you can receive pictures and updates on your child throughout the day. For what it's worth, I don't think the only non 5 star review is an accurate portrayal of the school. This sounds like a very rare case with missing details. As a very involved parent, I can confirm that their is open communication with the teachers and staff. More so than any other daycare.

My son flourished here under the supervision of wonderful teachers and owners, he graduated two years ago and they still love seeing him. My daughter still attends and will be graduating in the next 6 months. I think what I love most about this place is that it's not corporate and the attention from Alyssa, Jessica and Steve make it what it is today. They use the Tadpoles app to keep us up to date with our kids via pictures and notes along with daily reports. They are so awesome and accommodating. My son graduated and started school and the only bad thing was that he was so far advanced than any other kids in kindergarten, he got bored in school. Now he is in first grade and reads at a 4th grade level and top of the class...I know this is because of the Stepping Stones foundation he got. They have recently expanded and taking more students, if you are in the market for a new school; this is the only place to stop. You and your child will love the community they have created.
