Every day he is smiling going into the class. The teachers are fun and enthusiastic. Daily we receive several pictures throughout the day, we get notifications of how much milk he drank, all diaper changes, meals he ate (and how much he ate), and naps (and how long he napped). I would highly recommend this school. I can only account for the 0-2 year old classes but look forward to continue bringing our son to this school. He is learning so much and having a blast. My husband and I have peace of mind leaving our little boy with his teachers while we are hard at work at our jobs.

When we arrived to pick up our belongings they were left outside the door. The entire experience felt cold and unempathetic, and it was clear that the well-being of the children was not a priority. We wanted to share our experience in hopes of saving others from going through the headache we endured. In hindsight, it was probably the best thing that happened to us. As no parent wants their child in an unsafe environment.

Our daughter…read morehas been attending this school since she was 18 months old and now she's 5 and is getting ready to start Kindergarten at one of the top private schools in Georgia. It is a very academically driven school and we loved every bit of it. The teachers are very hands-on and they actually CARE and take time to work with the kids and it shows. To name a few, Ms. Carol and Ms. Carmen has taught her to be the smartest, sweetest, and most well-behaved kid from the start. Now, Ms. Jordan and Ms. Kelly has her well prepared for the next level. Everyday our daughter impresses us with what she has learned and is very excited to go back to school day after day. You wouldn't believe how many compliments we get when we're out, about how smart, polite, and well mannered she is. We definitely owe a large part of that to this school and its incredible how she stands out amongst other kids of her age. Believe me, you will definitely be able to tell the difference. This school has an excellent track record for success. Just about every kid of her graduating class was accepted to their first pick private school. Ms. Tammy and Ms. Kirsten's vision is very focused and their recipe for success is impressive. The kids are surrounded by other great kids, so you can imagine the atmosphere of this school. The environment is very clean, bright, and most importantly, safe. There is an armed SWAT, police officer who is ALWAYS on duty when they are inside the school and especially along with them when they are outside. It definitely makes us feel better. Bottomline, this is a great school for early childhood academic development and we highly recommend Buckhead Prep SMV.

I've provided a review before, but now that my granddaughter has graduated and is in regular school…read morenow, I wanted to offer a review about how they handled COVID and the level of preparation my granddaughter had for regular school. She's now in Kindergarten at Cheatham Hill one of the better schools in the area, and she received a solid foundation at Sheltering Arms for them to build upon. I really enjoyed this place overall. While no place is perfect, I highly recommend it for a number of reasons (see my initial review and this one). Let's start off with COVID and how they handled it: My baby never came home sick, in fact, I've never seen a lot of sniffles with the kids in general in all the time my granddaughter has been attending this school, starting at infancy. Unfortunately, that is not the case at many other daycares. During COVID and after they implemented a special sign in system. They recorded the child's temperature and each parent dropping off was required to wear a mask. They also only allowed some many people in the lobby waiting to sign in the kids. While it was not the fastest process, my grandbaby never came home sick. They were very responsive and meticulous about notifying me when there was potential exposure. When they said that they sanitized the rooms, I felt it was true because the "proof is in the pudding." I said it in my first review, but I'll reiterate, if you are a new parent, esp a single parent (father or mother) starting out.... THIS is the place for you. It is safe, clean, offers scholarships year-round, conscientious, and integrated with other programs geared to help low-to-middle income families, such as iThink Financial came through this year, offering no-fee checking accounts for parents and custodial savings accounts for the kids, plus $50 in the checking acct just for opening it. Plus they provided school supplies and bookbags and a $35 gift card to pre-K students. There were also programs for free or low-cost kid's activities, free/low-cost healthcare access days, food programs, and a host of other things to help struggling families. Let's face it.... daycare is extremely expensive no matter what income bracket you fit in, especially when you factor in the days daycare is closed and you still need to work and your support system isn't all that supportive. So, now, you're paying for daycare and additional outside daycare on those days. It can get pricey real quick. I have to also speak to the family atmosphere and low turnover of staff. Some of the staff there were there when my grandbaby was in pre-K were there when she was an infant. Same with the kids. There were other kids that were there from the beginning as well. The families are nice. No ridiculous melee in the small parking lot. Parents are respectful of the other parents and staff, even with the slow check-in process, which is BIG. I've been to other daycares and saw lots of behavior. Everyone is just nice. The parking lot and grounds are well maintained, I just cannot say enough good things about this place. Now, on to the individuals.... Some opted to leave this year and work at other SA locations.... Ms. Angela, Ms. Lariesha, Ms. Cheryl, Ms. Gail, Ms. Valerie.... all of these ladies, I interacted with daily and they were all just the best. They really seem to like and care about your children. I couldn't be happier that my grandbaby had an opportunity to learn under these women. I will miss them all. Ms. Valerie was her teacher this year..... My grandbaby has a really good foundation in phonics and sounding words out on her own. She got that from Ms. Valerie. She drilled the days of the week, the alphabet, handwriting, colors of course, but she also worked with them on their interpersonal skills and behaviors in the classroom and outside of it. She would ask the kids thought-provoking questions that they would bring home and use to interact with the family. They were kids but she talked to them like people and they noticed the world around them. She gave them flowers to grow and be responsible for. They had a butterfly in the classroom that they caught outside. They discussed the different stages and she didn't cut corners or make up cute names.... she had my baby coming home talking about chrysalis like it was no big deal. So funny coming out of such a small face and mouth, but I appreciated every minute of it. Really top notch.... if I had to say one bad thing, it'd be the closure days. They follow the regular school calendar. For parents who must go in to the office for work or don't have a good support system, this could be hard. Candidly, all of the pre-K programs in Cobb do that. So, that's not really a SA issue. If you are a family considering good childcare, let this be a serious contender. We used the Roberta Dr location, but I've spoken to parents who've used other locations, and they had similar experiences as I did. Overall I highly recommend this place. I hope this helps you.

They really loved our son as we have. They have watched him grow, helped us through many of those crazy stages in the first few years, and have felt like a team of second moms to my husband and I. The Oxford Babies staff truly cares about each of the children there. We have watched our son grow tremendously under their care and I cannot say enough good things about them!

They rattled off a pre rehearsed short speech letting me know they had no intention on helping me and let me leave without any acknowledgement of my application nor decision. I'm told they give you a decision. No such thing happened. I left a couple messages via phone which they deliberately ignored till they ran out of funds 2 weeks later, they ignored me till I called back having the office clerk to hand them my message. Then they finally called me with lies. They said they were as of that morning out of funds....meaning 2 weeks ago they weren't. They were without excuse, hard hearted and strategically racist in not acknowledgement of my application. F is the grade I'd give them. They insist on offering you coffee or gas for your car...I kept telling her we don't have one. Smh. Run like the plague and don't go there if you're black unless you want a gas voucher. The funds for a bill is clearly not for you no matter what they have.
