They have water days- paint days, field trips to the library. I heart this place! they have a security guard on premises who takes it upon herself to become familiar with all of the parents. They have a locked front door that can only be accessed by a code or using the intercom to be buzzed in. I leave this place knowing Ysabel will be in good hands.

This is a great daycare facility. Great people. Highly recommend it.read more

My son attended Smart Toddlers Prep for 4 months. I am only removing him from the school because my…read moreneeds for full time care changed and the school is a half-day program. My son thrived since Day 1. He was always excited to go to school and was full of joy when I would pick him up in the afternoon. He began pronouncing words much better, he began pausing to think before speaking and would tell me to say YES, not huh or yea. What I like about Smart Toddlers is they keep you up to date about what is going on with your child and they are interactive with the learning they teach at the school. Their team is united and they get along very well. What I enjoy the most is that my son is happy. If I didn't need full time care I wouldn't have removed my son from the school. They really have become our family and I recommend them highly.

IPS is awesome. By awesome, I mean amazing, by amazing, I mean, is a perfect fit for our family…read more To clarify things, they are located on Amsterdam Ave in Amsterdam Walk. And although their website which is a bit simple and generic, the school itself is wonderful. We moved to ATL from the west coast less than 2 years ago. I researched preschools and set up appointments to tour in person once we moved to Atlanta; we got here and found a school which was good on paper, but less than a month in, it proved to be a train wreck. Then I stumble upon IPS, despite their website which doesn't have a ton of info and their Yelp profile, which is completely neglected (only 1 other review and not even the correct location listed), but I schedule an appointment and we are not disappointed! We met a co-director, now Owner, and there are not enough complements I can deliver to Ms. Megan or to the school. The school feels like a real school; not simply a daycare center. There are multiple classrooms for each respective "grade" level. Daily meals served are vegetarian and there's a dedicated outdoor play area. Ms. Megan, along will all the other teachers and staff I've met are sincere, supportive, and genuine. They are talented and patient with the kids. I like the exposure to multiple cultures and languages, and there's an awareness and mindfulness instilled to the children without being trendy or trying too hard. There's a strong PTO and other like-minded families abound. I'm so happy to have found them and cannot believe there aren't more reviews to sing their praises. It's a half day schedule from toddler-hood through kindergarten, with multiple options for full day care, extra curricular activities, and a flexible schedule for less than 5 days/week if desired. They also have summer camps. If you're looking for a preschool, I'd definitely check them out.

My 4 and 2 year old sons have attended IPS for the past two years, and they love it! My husband and…read moreI love it too. This school is - above all else - nurturing, flexible, and willing to do what is needed to give your kids and you as the parent the best possible experience. The school is centrally located to the Midtown, Ansley Park, Morningside, and Virginia Highland neighborhoods. It is clear from the moment you walk in that the school is a happy place focused on finding what is special about kids this age and letting them shine. The administrators are truly special and unique. They care about every single kid who walks through their doors and, in my experience, are willing to take creative approaches to problem solving so that each kid can work through whatever difficulty he or she is experiences and continue to grow and thrive. This approach has helped my kids to learn while gaining confidence in their individuality. The teachers too are caring - and maybe more importantly - consistent. Coming from a school where teacher turnover was a major problem, it's been so nice for my kids to see the same smiling faces day in and day out at IPS. Finally, the diversity of the student population makes the educational experience all the more rich, and when you add in the language emphasis at IPS, kids are able to gain a global perspective that is otherwise hard to achieve. We love this school and would recommend it to anyone!

Don't miss out on looking into OA for your child's care - there are many special things about this school (and extra perks like the location, diaper program, meals, additional activities, etc).

BSKA bought the Montessori school our kids go to and it's immediately been a disaster. The prior…read moreowner notified us on July 4th, and then we received no information from the new owners for over a week. I just dropped my kids off to find that the usually pristine facility was just covered with filth on the floor. Like someone had just dumped dirt and trash around. A teacher was trying to clean it up, because apparently the owners had just left it that way over the weekend for the old teachers to deal with unexpectedly before the parents arrive. The new owners are rarely there and when you ask when they'll be there, you get this vague "we're here whenever we can!". When they are there, they skulk in this back room area where you can't see them but they can hear what you say to the prior staff. They're just... listening in but refusing to actually communicate. They're also changed things that didn't need changing to the point that it just seems like a power trip -- like no teachers have a chair where they can sit down for a second except one, hard, dining room style chair. The final straw was that there were plastic bags left around in the trash. They talk "safety safety safety" but are leaving dangerous choking hazards left around toddlers? Filth on the floor where babies are learning to crawl? This isn't even an issue of "I just don't like their non-montessori style." This isn't a safe place any more.
