My kids teachers, Ms Cheryl and Ms Victoria are AMAZING! They truly LOVE our kids and love on them. They put our mind at ease everyday, and always updating us on their day. My kids are "those" screaming kind of kids lol, but not here. They love their teachers immensely. I cannot believe I didn't find this place sooner. I have to say also the front office staff, Ms Joleen and Ms Patti are AMAZING. My heart is just so filled from this place. Best decision I have made as a parent.

I chose Buckhead Prep Smyrna because it offers an engaging & impressive academic curriculum while…read morestill providing a loving, nurturing environment. In touring some of the area's other preschools, I didn't care for the institutional atmospheres, but was thrilled when I saw what the students at BP were able to do while still being in a comfortable setting. Additionally, I've been blown away by their in-house field trips and extra curricular offerings, their special guests (including local children's book authors, the Smyrna Police and Fire Departments, local musicians, pediatric doctors, and other child-centered businesses), and their parents' meetings aimed at clarifying the application process for private schools. Hands down, the best part about BP has to be the teachers. They absolutely love their students and are willing to do anything for them! After being there only a couple of months, I attended another student's birthday party and not only did two of the amazing teachers show up, but they played the games and cheered the kids on as if they were their own. I nearly cried as my daughter's teacher saw that she was being terribly shy and scooped her up from hiding behind me, and played almost every game right alongside her. Knowing that my daughter was being taught by someone who clearly loves kids and loves her job is amazing, and I understood perfectly when my little girl came home and told me she wants to be a teacher when she grows up. The location for the Smyrna campus is amazing in that classes can easily go to the child-friendly attractions in the Market Village. That being said, it's a busy area. I truly appreciate the officers who ensure that the kids are safe and protected while there. The officer is likely the first person to see you as you enter the school. They know the kids, the parents, and the siblings, and they know if someone doesn't belong in the school area, so kids can learn in a very interesting, multi-faceted part of town while being as safe as they would be at home.

I now see it was probaly see generated by ChatGPT because they seemed to completely ignore their own "rules" they made clear to me. Once my child started, there was zero communication on their end only once I asked how things were going. Next thing I know they asked us to leave. I did not even bother to ask why there had been no communication or why the plan we came up with was not implemented. If a school wants to show me their not willing to do what we just sat down and discussed my children do not need to be there. My child was also in play therapy and the therapist stated they have not had the best feedback with families here. They way they were so short and cut throat with our family, be aware.

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.

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!

It's the Little Things…read more When you're looking for a place for your child (especially a newborn), you probably have a checklist of what's important. It must be: * Safe * Encouraging * Peaceful * and A Positive Learning Environment Primrose Sandy Springs offers ALL OF THESE THINGS, but what really sets them apart are the small details. Our son's teacher, Ms. Judy, would greet us at the door to the room. They'd immediately engage my son, and take him from me to make him feel welcome and at home in the classroom. All bottles went into an insulated bag (that they provide) in his cubby. The teachers will move them to the correct fridge for you, and return them back to the bag in his cubby rinsed. The room itself is spacious, but warm. It's always peaceful--frankly, I could do with spending a bit more time in there just to relax. Throughout the day we receive images of him playing, reading, and practicing through the Tadpoles app. The images light up my day like nothing else! When it's time to pick him up for the day, I just show up. The evening teacher hands my son to me and I grab his bag and go. They take all of the hassle out of it. And Raneet, the owner, and her staff are always warm and encouraging. On several occasions they moved mountains to accommodate our needs. Give them a try. I hope you'll love them as much as we did.

The facility is clean, the teachers are amazing with keeping you updated with there progress throughout the day, the front desk are always helpful and willing to assist with anything. The facility is controlled access. You must enter your code to enter the building which was a plus for me. The classrooms are organized and well kept. I love the many events they have through out the year for the children. The owner Mrs. Raneet is amazing and cares about the school and the quality of care your child receives. I came to her with concerns and she was always willing to fix anything or correct any issues that was there. Super sweet and always willing to help you anyway she can. Thank you :)

My daughter has been at the school for almost a year now and it is one of the best decisions that we have made for her. The tuition is a bit pricey but below many others in the area that offer a similar curriculum. I love that I receive pictures via email and Tadpoles app throughout the day. I also love the option of having meals prepared daily with options for vegan and dairy-free children at a reasonable price. I absolutely adore the teachers in my daughter's current and previous classrooms and so does my daughter. The school prepares an electronic daily report to track the children's activities, nap times and diaper changes. They also have monthly events allowing the opportunity for parents to mingle. The reason why I gave the school four stars instead of five is because I had to remind the school to apply diaper rash cream multiple times + I showed up at 7am (opening) a couple times and had to wait on a teacher to arrive. No place is perfect though so that is all okay. The front staff is very nice and the school has been accommodating in multiple situations. As long as the location works, (we are 5 minutes away which is super convenient) I plan on my daughter attending this school until it is time for elementary! Update: I would also like to add that we have the option of paying $150 to remove our daughter from the school and hold our spot. This is especially convenient during a time where most daycares are closed (which may be difficult for parents who are still working) or open and still charging parents full price although they may have pulled their children out due to coronavirus. I think it is a great option for us and I definitely appreciate the accommodation.

Although plans were put in place, the staff and administration failed to properly implement them, allowing these incidents to continue. As a result, my child now has a scar on her face that she will have forever, thanks to a child at this school who has harmed others as well. I removed my child after the final incident and reached out to at least receive a refund for the last month my daughter attended. I was told by the administration that the refund would be granted, but this never happened. I called corporate and have yet to receive a single call from the franchise owner, despite making it very clear that I wanted to speak with her. I have also filed a claim with the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning regarding this situation. If you're okay with being lied to, paying money for your child to be repeatedly hurt, and not even receiving a call from the owner to pretend she cares, this is the school for you.

The emphasis on learning through play has done wonders; my child and ALL her classmates are well above their cognitive development benchmarks thanks to remarkable teachers and an environment that fosters a love of learning, rather than a spoon-fed (or often force-fed) curriculum. I particularly like the practice of moving one teacher, but not both teachers, up from one age/level/room to the next, along with the child. This has given our daughter the chance to bond with someone familiar and ensures her learning is uninterrupted, but also gave her the chance to interact with new teachers, new expectations, new ways of learning. Familiarity AND flexibility. Brilliant. Director Jenni and Assistant Director Joanna have always been great: communicative, committed, passionate, organized. Especially throughout COVID shutdowns, when the city closed the school building, their ingenuity and devotion to getting individual students into risk-adjusted, peer-group, professionally staffed learning pods has been inspiring. Amid so much uncertainty, one thing I never doubt is that I'm sending my kid into the best situation for her, both when we started at UEP and every morning drop-off since.

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!
