I was going to wait to write this review because my daughter still attends, but I am highly annoyed at this school. After 6 months, I am very close to removing my child! I cannot say this school is all bad, because my daughter wouldn't be here. I like her teacher Ms. Jewels and the other teachers in her class. They try to make the most out of their limited resources. I also love Ms. Jordan at the front desk. She goes out of her way daily to make my daughter feel special. From stickers to compliments, my daughter loves her! One of my first and main issues is with the head of administration. I homeschooled my child until she was almost 3. Because of that, Ms. T and I discussed my daughter staying in the two-year-old class until her 3rd birthday in October. She told me there will be room for my child in the regular 3-year-old classroom. The last time we discussed this was a month before my daughter's birthday, and once she turned 3, the classes were full. She then told me my child can go into the 3-year-old classroom that has kids who need additional assistance, because she doesn't think my daughter is ready for the regular PreK3. Because she's only over the admin, in my opinion, she's not qualified to tell me what my daughter is ready for... especially since the person over education and her current teacher said they recommend my child go to PreK3. They really allow this woman to make recommendations for children when she doesn't work directly with them. In addition, she has a terrible attitude. She will speak to you depending on her mood, and that's not the best attitude to have when working around children. I often ask myself if I am over exaggerating, but my neighbor didn't choose this Cedars because she felt the staff had an attitude problem when she called for the first time. Another major issue I had at this school was when they allowed a part-time teacher conduct an assessment on my child. The assessment was so bad that I couldn't sleep that night. They said my child doesn't know simple concepts, such as in or out, she can't draw a straight line, etc. That day, I took my child home and recorded her doing everything the assessment said she couldn't do. If anyone needed to conduct an assessment, it should've been her lead teacher. Her lead teacher was surprised by the assessment. She said she never questioned my child's ability because she knew everyone's name in the class by the 2nd week of school, recognized and spelled her name, etc. After they viewed my videos, the school's education advisor assessed my daughter. She told me I was right. My daughter can do "All the things!" These are a few examples of how they have unqualified people doing unqualified things. If my child didn't have present parents who speak up for her, they would've put a label on her and moved on to the next child. You would think people in this position know the difference between a child who actually doesn't know things and one who's still coming out of their shell because they went from one-on-one learning to 20 students and 2 teachers. Another thing I have to mention is that last week the flu was going around. I was told they were going to put up signs, but they didn't have ink. Apparently, they didn't think to email everyone. I've watched this school wait until 3pm to call parents about a sick child. At that point, everyone could make contact with the sick person. I could really continue, but I have said enough. Ultimately, the issue falls on the school's director. Everything reflects poor leadership. I have come to her numerous times, and she basically tells me what she thinks I want to hear without taking any action behind her words. I will not fault the Cedars brand because I am still open to other locations, but the McDonough location needs some changes, fast! read more

Many people don't come back to thank or even do a review to mention good things. I was reminded to…read morecome back and do a review. I want to say thank you Ms. Linda and the team. Our daughters 2 time going to daycare but she had a break and wasn't use to being left alone without mom or dad. For the first month she cried and I thought this wasn't going to work. Second month she cried but not as much. Some was becoming impatient with her but the most was encouraging to her and myself that my baby will come around. She did. And it was because of the staff at this school. She loved going she learned a lot of nursery rhymes and learned how to count and to mention my daughter was just turning one when she started going. She went about 7 monthS. We had to part ways because we're relocating to a different state. If not she would've been still there along with the new baby. Thank you again

Parents please don't ever send your kids to Towne Square Academy. Today I picked my child up and…read moreshe had poop on her back and dried up poop on her clothes. I talked with the teacher who stated she didn't see it. If you changed her you clearly need to wipe her whole bottom and make sure that she is clean. Called the director and wanted to speak to her and she stated she would talk to be about it tomorrow face to face. I need you to have a conversation with me about it now before I bring my child back. Called the wiener who stated " the teacher is nice " nice doesn't clean my baby, nice doesn't keep her safe and help her develop when she is in your care. I have had SEVERAL issues with them and they all were swept under the rug. I have asked them not to give her bananas and they continue to do so. I have found them lying on the daily report sheet saying she was changed at 2:30 but she was home with me at the time. Literally ever week since she was enrolled there( she was only there 2 months I believe) there has been a issue. I took a container of wipes on a Monday and on Thursday they stated that my baby need more wipes....how????? Then they attempted to lie and say they found the wipes but I physically held the two container that I brought there and they BOTH were empty. Trust and believe this is the worst thing you could do to your kids. I wouldn't send my child if even if they gave me a week free. And by the way as you can see my baby had Cheerios and that was not on her sheet of what she ate today

This daycare started good and slowly turned into a nightmare! They are negligent in some…read moreclassrooms, I'm not sure the people they hire are even credible. Workers come to work with dog hair on them, you never see anyone wash their hands, you dropped your kid off in one person or two people's care but while your gone someone else you never met will be taking care of your child. They pull teachers from the other building. Blame everything on being short staffed or the parent or the child, accountability is definitely lacking. While there are select few who actually care it's definitely not enough to leave your child here trust me! The prices don't even make sense you're basically paying for full time services even if you need part time. There's literally nobody to advocate for you if anything happens such as incidents or mishandling paperwork or payments. You want your child to attend a place they are happy to be tour and just get a feel for the kids personalities you can tell the worst part of their day is attending this place. If you're looking for any type of interactive learning here you won't find it. If you're looking for someone to actually pay attention to your child or build some type of bond with them you won't find it here. It is truly scary this establishment hasn't been looked into for several things actually.

Didn't hear back once I replied to requesting/inquiring about services. That was pretty much it.read more

The staff truly cares about the children and it shows every single day. I especially want to shout out Ms. Kisha and Ms. Keiaira They are patient, nurturing, and so attentive.

Highly recommend Cedars Preschool to any parent looking for a caring and structured environment for their little one!

I called Aug 2025 about a Pre K spot for my son. I was told March 2 or 3rd the spots open and they…read moreonly have 4 spot. I was there at 4:30am the very FIRST parent to get a spot..... or so I thought. Now on June 10th I'm informed that my son is #6 on the waitlist. Mind you I only know this from randomly inquiring on when I would receive more information on school starting. The lady that answered advised I was misinformed and that it's a lottery program. Thats funny because when I reached out to Henry county they are the ones that advised me to try the daycare to get a secured spot when my son didn't receive a spot at my zoned elementary school. I even offered to switch my son's daycare to theirs to ensure he would have a PreK spot. I was told they didn't have any available 4 year old spots. She said their students moving up would receive a spot first and that they had 4 remaining spots which is why I camped outside with my then 5 month old twins trying to get my 4 year old a spot. Funny thing.. no one called to tell me I was on a waitlist after I completed all paperwork. So I called one of their other centers and asked how the GA pre K went and was advised it was NOT like the public school system lottery its first come first served and they had no spots. This is so unprofessional as it seems like my son was bumped to accommodate others they wanted to receive a spot. I was told the day I went that I had secured the first spot only to be told months later "oh you were misinformed ". Now that school starts in two months ALL the pre K spots are full. This infuriates me as I just wanted my son in a school environment instead of a daycare setting. It's clear the ones that wanted to receive spots got one..... so unprofessional. However, I take this as a sign that the professionalism would have been an issue later down the line. This says a lot to me. Very Very Very disappointed.

This facility screams quality care from the time you enter and leave. The owners are two men, who would've thought. it's almost like Daddy Daycare. Those gentlemen have really set a standard for Early Learning Childcare facilities. The center has it all it is beautifully and intentionally designed for Early Learning. The owners gave me a tour and not only did the place look beautiful it smelled just as nice as it looked and they were just as nice. They took time with me and walked me through the entire process of how they educate the whole child. I've had July children in their care now for a little over 6 months and I absolutely DO NOT know how I am going to cope when my girls have to transition to Kindergarten. They use to provide me with daily updates but now that my girls are in their Pre-k program I get monthly progress reports and weekly updates. I pray they have plans to implement a Kindergarten program. All I can say is if you are looking for quality care and education this is the best I've experienced since my girls have been attending daycare!

ABC Montessori School

There was once a 5-year-old little girl. She was a sweet, quirky thing, well-behaved and sensitive,…read moreactive and adventurous. She loved lizards, bugs, horses, and drawing more than anything. Her mom and dad were so excited for this little girl to start school, to see all she'd learn, and to learn all she'd become. However, the hopes and dreams these parents had for their little girl would not come to pass. After a short time in kindergarten, the little girl started getting poor conduct grades for "not paying attention. The school set up the first conference and began to tell the parents how wrong their little girl was. The girl began coming home upset, stressed out, scared to go back, and claiming that her teacher hates her. The parents tried ADHD meds for the child. In 6 months, the little girl was on 4 different medicines. Upon taking the first dose, she was listless, glassy-eyed, and had sobbing episodes. She didn't enjoy the critters and the horses and the drawing. The smiles went away. And she did no better in school. This precious little girl is Emma, and she is mine. In December 2014, we started at ABC Montessori. Their love for children, interest in fostering the individuality of the children, and in the development of the child's brain are immediately evident. The passion they have for the Montessori method is inspiring. They have restored our daughter's motivation and joy for learning. Today, our daughter seeks answers. She explores. She is respectful. And she absolutely loves her school. There, she is a helper, a friend, a great student, loved and praised by her teachers, and extremely well-behaved. She sits down to her work daily and focuses on what needs to be done. She completes book reports and science fair projects. She knows things about culture and history. She reads "chapter books" and she has straight A's!! She laughs and plays and does not want to be picked up at the end of the day. I have my little girl back!! For all of this I am thankful for the Montessori method. But even more so, I am eternally grateful for the careful, thoughtful planning, attention, and intuition of the ABC Montessori staff, and for their concern and care for the whole child. My daughter WILL be successful. In fact, she already is!

We absolutely love Cedars Preschool at McDonough! The customer service is truly unmatched. every interaction is kind, welcoming, and genuine. You can tell that everyone there truly cares, from the teachers to the front desk staff. My child looks forward to going every single day, which says everything. She has built such sweet connections with her teachers (past and present!) and even the front desk team. One of my favorite parts of the day is pickup. she makes sure to give hugs all around before we leave, and that kind of love and comfort is something you just can't fake. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she's in such a positive, caring environment. We are so thankful for everyone at Cedars! read more

My granddaughter has attended Cedars for nearly one year. It has been a very positive experience. She has learned so much and she loves her teachers Zahra, Morgan, and Mariah. The facility is clean, offers age appropriate activities, and the staff is friendly. We loved the brunch for Mother's Day and the Luau for Father's Day. We also enjoy dressing up for spirit days. She recently moved to the toddler's class. The classroom is inviting and her new teachers seem very nice. The app is interactive and keeps families abreast of daily activities.
