My husband and I had been going back and forth on where we were going to send our little one with him starting pre-k.. Also with covid and my husband now working from home we needed somewhere close to home and somewhere we felt safe sending him.. Well everything happens for a reason because the day we decided to put Our little in the private program at Carrington we received a call that he was off the wait list and there was a spot in Georgia pre-k.. But once we heard the dynamics of Georgia pre-k we were hesitant once again because our little one has been in private day since he was six months. So he would basically be staring all over.. We were nervous because our little man being very active especially if he is bored which he has no problem telling you when he is bored.. Well present day we love the staff. Steve is pretty awesome and always reassuring for me being a first time mommy.. We feel that it is safe sending our child here especially with the present pandemic. Ms Dekalah plays a major part in keeping our little one safe.. Our little one is excited when he comes home and tells us about his day. He loves Ms Stephen and Ms Lauren.. Some days he grumpy but that is your typical toddler he still getting use to the shorter naps. But they worked so well with him on his grumpy days.. I am very pleased with the care and education my son has received thus far. We made a great decision sending him to Carrington.. I definitely would recommend this Carrington to all the first time mommies out there!!! read more

We were had some hiccups with our prior provider during the summer, and decided to try Carrington Academy when school came back into session. We are actually very happy with our decision, and the staff of Carrington have made it really easy for us to be at ease. We have two kids, a toddler and a newborn, both attending and are more than happy with the quality of the care shown so far. Communication is key for me, and principal Stephen and his team have done a great job this semester with it. We have daily updates, with pictures, for each of our children. For our PreK toddler his notes include everything they are planning to do that day, so I know the topics they are covering and we have great conversations when I pick him up. Their calendars are laid out well ahead of time, and we know exactly when special events are coming up so we don't forget. For our toddler, he only goes part-time and they have been very accommodating. Mom is a nurse with a shifting weekly schedule, and they have worked with us to ensure proper coverage for him when dates shift and change. Great job, everyone. It is truly appreciated. read more

I honestly can't say enough good things about Carrington Academy on Hwy near McFarland. The staff here is amazing! From the principal and assistant principal to the front desk clerk and every single teacher in between... they've all been so welcoming and attentive since day one. I always felt at ease going to work because I knew my daughter was in good hands. They really care about the kids and it shows. There's always some kind of fun and engaging activity going on, and the curriculum has done such a great job getting my daughter ready for Pre-K and elementary school. Another thing I love... their hygiene practices! First thing every morning, the kids are encouraged to wash their hands. It sounds small, but it's made such a big difference. Compared to other daycares we've been at, she's gotten sick way less since starting here. They also do a lot of family events, which I appreciate. It's nice being able to show up, participate, and cheer her on at different school activities. All around, this daycare has been such a blessing for our family. read more

It's so hard to put into words how special Carrington Academy and all of the staff members are to our family! We have had two children at this incredible location who have thrived no matter what class they were/are in or which teachers they have/had. The curriculum is top notch; my oldest was over prepared for Kindergarten due to the structure and responsibility his teachers instilled in him during his time there - what an awesome relief as a parent! The principal, Stephen, and his administrative staff are all wonderful, caring people. They have been so supportive of our family in every stage of life. Everyone that works there has excellent communication skills, hearts of gold, and they are all so creative! I love seeing the projects sent home that the children worked on - it's clear my children have/had fun and have learned so much during the process. I wish I could add 100 stars for this unique and fantastic place! I will always recommend them, and will always support them! read more

We love Carrington Academy! Both our kids have attended here since they were 6 month old until pre-K. They have a great curriculum with lots of additional fun activities for the kids - like weekly Spanish, music and art classes. The staff is extremely nice, welcoming and helpful. The teachers are very loving and attentive. They are always opened to feedback and make an effort to provide the best environment for kids and parents alike. Communication between parents, teachers and staff is great! They use an app to share pictures and status of kids throughout the day with a full report of how their day wrong which is very helpful. They also communicate via email to keep us informed of any activities and events. We are grateful to be part of such an awesome community! read more

I enrolled my daughter in Prek at Carrington in July 2020. To say I was scared because of Covid was an understatement. Mr. Stephen and Ms. Jill were so understanding and made the transition flawless. The safety measures in place met all of my expectations! My daughter loves going to school every morning and can't wait to tell me about her day each afternoon. The staff is so accommodating and communicates in every way! Whether it's a daily picture, weekly email, or even a phone call, it is consistent. I know my daughter is in a loving and caring environment. I would recommend Carrington McFarland in a heartbeat to anyone. Highly, highly recommended. read more

Our LO has been enrolled in Carrington for just over a year now and we couldn't be happier. The administration has worked with us time and time again to help our family adjust to having a child in daycare. All of the teachers here thus far have shown nothing but love and compassion for our LO as well. With consistent updates, pictures and daily status updates, we always feel that our LO is getting the best care and is in a phenomenal learning environment. LO has progressed so much in the past year and we are excited about what the future brings continuing on with this school. We highly recommend Carrington Alpharetta! read more

We enrolled our 3 year old at The Carrington Academy on Atlanta Highway about 6 months ago and it has been a wonderful experience. Our son hated his previous school and always brought home viruses from there but ever since we switched to Carrington, things took a wonderful turn. Our son never cried at drop off, never got sick and absolutely loves the place. The Principal, Stephen Morrison and his staff are awesome and we couldn't say enough nice things about the Beginner Class teachers Miss. Mako, Miss Ritu and Miss. Ramya, all of whom always go extra miles for the kids. read more
