The staff and curriculum are geared toward education and happy, healthy kids while still being consious of the individual kid and their needs. Classroom sizes and teacher ratios are great to keep kids engaged. Most importantly I have always felt safe leaving my children in their very capable hands. We have been so impressed with them over the years and would recommend them over and over.

I feel she may be the real reason this day care has been run well. The parking is terrible. There aren't enough spots for all the kids getting picked up. As with all schools, we had some wonderful teachers and a bad apple. For the most part out child loved this Primrose. After 5 years with them we were very sorry to leave this school. I also don't like the fact that they don't have internet cameras for me to see my kid from work. I believe the use the "stalker" thing as an excuse not to do it. Because proper firewalls and security measures would easily stop that.

From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and clearly experienced. I love that everyone--from the front office to the teachers--not only knows our family by name, but truly understands who my son is--his personality, what makes him light up, and how to bring out his best. We're so grateful to have found a place where he's loved, cared for, and growing every day. The best decision we've made!

When we first initially started at Sunbrook Miss Sheena was our child's teacher. She absolutely…read moreblew me away. But then you quickly learn that all teachers are not created equal at this facility Miss Sheena was awesome because of the type of person she was. Spread into pre-K with Miss Mingo everything turned to trash. We were being lied to. She was sending aggressive messages in the portal then deleting them. But I screen shot everyone. They took something from my car and lied about it not knowing I had dash cams. The director basically told me I was lying until I told her I had dash cams and the entire turn changed. The building does not seem to be up to code. Over the winter their pipes broke for EIGHT WEEKs. According to other parents this was the third time they flooded AND THE CONTINUED TO COLLECT from the state CAPS and from self pay parents FOR EIGHT WEEKS. They weren't even paying their staff. I walked in one day to a teacher crying. I consoled her, she told me they threatened to fire her if she went to her scheduled OB appointments and couldn't take anymore time off. Well that federal law and illegal. One day they put my daughter in my car balling her eyes out. I asked her what had happened "ms. Mingo wouldn't let me go potty" she was soaking in urine and they put her in my car. Mingo lied to us and her employers. They would constantly defend her but again they continue to forget I have dash cams and filmed the entire circumstance. During our parent teacher conference, I also had to film because she would spew out several lies or act like I never asked questions that I had several questions for when addressed to Chelsea or Jalisha they would stick up for the teacher, even though I had proof. This always put them in a tizzy but always rejected to see the proof. Aftercare is a complete joke. It's basically a young teenager with a cell phone sitting in a corner playing on their phones. Kids had their collar bones broken in aftercare. They mixed them with the older kids, including Older kids from other schools Who were playing entirely too rough to have a four-year-old in the room. They claimed they're always filming, but they will never show you the proof. Jalisha And Chelsea purposely would not put cameras into their office, so whatever they told you in there, they could lie about later. Every kid is just a dollar amount they don't care how they get their money they don't care how they'll take care of your child as long as you're paid up. And they especially don't care about their employees. The only thing my daughter gained from pre-K was PTSD

My children have been at The Goddard School Austell since September 2018 and I can't imagine taking…read morethem anywhere else. After moving to this part of Atlanta recently, I was amazed at the cost/waitlist/class size of many daycares in the area. I "interviewed" several places and was starting to question whether or not I was going to find a place that I felt comfortable taking my kids to everyday. The Goddard School Austell is the same place my niece and nephew went 8 years ago and without question is the best! Mrs. Lauren was immediately warm and welcoming inviting us in to see this "family feel" preschool. She is always open for conversation, empathetic, real, transparent and a parent herself. She employs a staff that also models those qualities. If we have ever had a concern about our children (potty training, bottle weaning, tantrums etc)... they are all there to assist, work with us and ultimately foster love, patience, knowledge and kindness in our babies! They have a curriculum that is followed and emailed monthly. Daily reports are sent out over a phone app making it easy to check in on the kids each day. Healthy breakfasts and catered (healthy) lunches are provided each day, along with snacks in between. They have nice playgrounds that the kids love playing on when it is nice outside and a large open gym to run around in when it is raining or too cold to be outside, with a built in rock climbing wall, what?! Along with the day-to-day activities, they are always doing special things around the holidays for the kids/parents (Christmas program, Easter egg hunt, Valentines, etc). I honestly could go on and on about all the ways The Goddard School Austell is a phenomenal daycare... but most importantly, I don't have to question what type of care my little ones are getting. I know in my absence they are being loved, nurtured, comforted and allowed to grow, learn and explore in a warm and caring environment...every day. I will not take them anywhere else and will be very sad when they have to leave. Thank you all at Goddard Austell!

Our child attended this location for a few months. He enjoyed his classmates, and there were…read moreseveral things we liked about the school. One day, I saw a teacher spray water toward my child's face with a spray bottle. I understood that spray bottles may have been used outside to help cool children off in the summer, but what I saw concerned me enough that I asked administration for a meeting to better understand the policy and whether spray bottles were ever used for anything other than cooling off. When I spoke with Lauren, I did not feel my concern was received well. The conversation focused more on my wording and whether I was accusing the school of abuse than on giving me clarity about what I had seen. I left the conversation feeling that my concern as a parent had been met defensively rather than constructively. Because of that interaction, we withdrew our child that day. I had a positive impression of some parts of Goddard overall, but based on my experience with this specific location, I would not personally recommend it.

Getting started at Benjamin Preparatory was challenging because of separation anxiety, and my…read moreoldest son was slow to blossom. Potty training was also a prerequisite for his age group. Instead of looking elsewhere, I decided to stick with Benjamin Prep, and I'm honestly glad I did. My oldest is now blossoming as he moves through the classes. I've seen so much growth in his speech, knowledge, and communication skills over time. My youngest actually started before him, and the entire school treats both of my boys like family. The staff listens, cares, and works with you. Like any new school experience, it takes time to build trust and develop a relationship with your new village--but we have found that village at Benjamin Prep.

I love the Christian foundation. The staff are very friendly, and typically informative. I've had a few hiccups here but nothing major. I love the cameras so that I can peek in on my child if and when desired. We also have access to the live school app which gives a detailed report about your child's activities throughout the day as well as their behavior. They are also performing arts based so the productions are something to look forward to as well. So far I've enjoyed my child's experience here. I'm looking forward to more face to face interactions and getting to know her teachers better!
