I am always informed about their progress/development, activities, etc. We were previously at a large daycare and are so much happier here. It is a sweet school where the children learn and thrive. The tenure of the teachers is a testament to the great environment. Communication from the administration is great. COVID protocols have been top notch. 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).

There excuse for the incident was there's a lot of kids in the classroom. My son was injured by another child no one knew what was going on until I called the school and no one cared about my son injuries . Staff was very nice but if you want your child to actually learn and payed attention to this is not the school.

Our 3.5 year old son has had a magical experience at Ahava. We switched him to Ahava after a less…read morethan stellar experience elsewhere, and have been overwhelmingly pleased with Ahava. Firstly, the school space is immaculately clean and in great condition. The classrooms are warm and inviting and there is ample beautiful outdoor space for the children to explore. The teacher to student ratio is very low, which means each child truly does get individual attention and tailored care. Miss Mallory and Mr. Jacob in our son's classroom have been wonderful influences in his life. They are thoughtful, gentle, and deeply nurturing in their approach. We are leaving Ahava at the end of this week but only because we are moving across the country. We will miss Ahava greatly and will hold all other schools to the same high standards as Ahava! Thank you Ahava for providing such a safe and loving place for our son to thrive.

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.
