Affordable, quality child-care is hard to find. Luckily, soon after re-locating to Decatur from…read moreDenver, we stumbled upon a daycare that loves our son and caters to his unique challenges and gifts. The school offers real time video and personal updates. The entire staff is friendly and genuinely enjoys seeing us everyday. Starting in the infant room and after a year with Ms. Roxanne--who is an incredible, experienced teacher--management accommodated our request to move up to Toddler-2 a little early so he could stay with his friends and have a more challenging curriculum. He has excelled since.

One star is even too much for this facility. I once loved this place and referred all my friends…read moreand family here. When my son went here over 10 years ago. Ever since the Bakers took over the place has gone down hill. This is the only location they own, so if you need childcare try another location where Ms. Teresa is still the owner. My daughter was pushed out the door by staff over afterschool payments she was denied entry into the Pre-k program which is a violation by state law. Also, they don't allow parents in the building (another violation) what are they hiding!? Spoke with the state Pre-k dept and QR staff both confirmed this location has many complaints. When I asked for my funds to be returned, and wanted to talk about my child being assaulted by staff Crystal Baker replied "now you can answer the phone". After they got word I called and filed a complaint against them, I was sent an email stating I couldn't come on the property anymore. But that too was another violation because my child is still enrolled at the campus. Crystal Baker argued with state Pre-k attempting to disenroll my daughter because I filled complaints against her. As they let her know that was unlawful. My daughter has come home singing, "shake your dreds, shake your dreds, shake them" and says she heard one of the teachers in the afterschool class playing that song. Just disgusting to say the least. My child's pants were pulled down by a student in her Pre-k class and Crystal Baker suggested that the child not sit next to my daughter anymore. Never reported the incident. Please avoid this center at all cost! They are just operating under the Clarian Place name, totally not up to the standards the Clarian Place my eldest child once attended, try Northlake or Lawrenceville Hwy where they still live up to the name. Crystal and Todd Baker have brought shame to this once loved facility. No wonder Crystal Baker gave herself 5 stars and it is still a 3 star review center! Run away!

We absolutely love Open Arms! Our two children have been going here for a few years and we have had…read morethe best experience with the loving staff! Teachers have so much tenure, which speaks volumes for the school. Our kids look forward to going every day! They have lots of fun, and also learn so much! We have done both private PreK and GA PreK and I feel like our Daughter was so ready for Kindergarten. I'm not sure if they will keep this ongoing over the years, but they even responded quickly to the need and added a Kindergarten class due to Covid. It has been such a blessing! Their Summer camps are awesome too! They put so much thought and effort into coming up with creating and fun plans/activities/field trips/etc. They also have aftercare where they pick up elementary school kids, which is such a great service! I highly recommend this place!!!

Open Arms is the greatest place to have your children. I can't believe how amazing this place is…read more My 3 year old has been here for almost a year and honestly it keeps getting better and better! The children's needs aren't just met, they are loved and cared for as if they are the child of each teacher and staff member. My son has grown so much and learns so much everyday. The teachers have been beyond anything I could hope for. Ms. Adrianna helped my son transition from a different school with lots of name recognition, but didn't provide the quality care we were looking for. She made him feels so special and loved in every way, but it definitely wasn't unique to him. Then Ms. summer and ms Kelly just blow our minds with what they do in their classroom. Ms summer potty trained my son and has so many structured activities every day that help him thrive. And lastly, the director ms kisha is full of light and love and radiates joy. She is accepting, kind and really creates such an amazing environment. Their summer camp for my rising 1st grader has been a dream as well. More activities than anywhere I've ever had my kids. And my 6 yr old is on the spectrum and they have been so loving and given him the best experience. Honestly, I could say something amazing about every staff I've met. This is so much more than a school or daycare, you feel like family. I could not recommend somewhere more!

As first-time parents, choosing a daycare for our baby was a huge decision, and my husband and I…read moretook our time touring multiple centers before making a choice. We can honestly say we're so glad we chose Kiddie Academy of Stone Mountain. What stood out to us right away was their commitment to quality care and a strong, structured curriculum. We were looking for a place where our son could not only be cared for, but also grow and develop through every stage until he reaches school-age and Kiddie Academy offers exactly that. The director and assistant director are very intentional about who they hire for each classroom, and it truly shows. The staff creates such a positive, nurturing environment, and we always feel confident leaving our baby in their care. Communication is also a big plus, there's always an open line, and we genuinely feel like we're working together as a team to support our son. While our primary experience is with the infant classroom, we've also had great interactions with the Pre-K teacher, she is amazing! It gives us peace of mind knowing that as our son grows, he'll continue to be in great hands. We also appreciate that they use the Life Essentials curriculum, which focuses on developmentally appropriate learning and helps build a strong foundation early on. Overall, we highly recommend Kiddie Academy to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for their child.

Rehoboth Preschool is very unprofessional.

So since I have 5 late times which I can't control because where I am coming from always have traffic and I finish work at 5pm. Y'all *Charged a late fee for late pickup so please put that in writing that there is a limited amount of times for late pickup. I honestly wouldn't recommend anyone to send their child here. All the staff gives I don't care energy towards the kids in after school and fake smile. Also Ms Morgan she is very unprofessional she has no customer service and shouldn't be working with kids. I'm Thank you Ms Gilmore you are the best teacher to the kids you go above and beyond for them. Rehoboth deserves to be closed they don't care are value the kids!!

Pros: Most teachers are kind and have sincere interests in keeping the kids safe and teaching them…read more Some staff members are nice as well. They have some events that make it fun, like Grandparent's Day, etc. The tuition is okay given the times you can drop off the kids. Cons: You get what you pay for. It's not very clean. My child was sick very often. When I pick them up, there would always be another child with a runny nose, like a major dripping runny nose. Of course, my kid would end up getting sick that week. The administration isn't truthful. The director overlooks parental concerns and makes poor staffing choices. When she replies to your email, she would say anything to get you off her case, but there won't be any change. For example, for a classroom of toddlers, they choose an elderly teacher who can't remember the names of the students. My child was potty trained, but once this teacher began teaching, he started to regress. Additionally, he was assaulted twice consecutively by the same student. I brought up my concerns due to fear my child would get hurt again. I had the options of taking my child away from this class or roll the dice and see if he gets hurt again. Nothing was done for the offending parent. I read the previous review on yelp before I chose this school and thought nah no way, this is a church they must be good and honest people. They are NOT. I affirm this place isn't great. If you really have to, then maybe go here. Otherwise, if you can save more for another place, in the long run, don't go here. Save yourself the headaches and troubles. Seriously. Amid kids issues having daycare issues isn't what you want.

My daughters love coming and even when out of school continue to ask to spend their days there. Out of other daycares we have been at this has been my favorite and I love to see sooooo many familiar faces that have been here for years versus a constant rotation. Can't say I've ever had an issue but I can say anytime I've ever had a concern about something it was always addressed. All in all it's a great place to send your babies!!!

As of April/May 2026, I would not recommend this daycare to anyone…read more Before I even toured the school, I called to ask about pricing. Nia, the assistant director, gave me incorrect pricing information not once, but twice. She also told me that the enrollment fee would be waived. Because she had already given me inaccurate information earlier that week, I specifically asked if she was sure, and she confirmed that she was. When I received my first bill, it was a little under $500, which immediately confused me because there was supposed to be a $250 discount applied to the first week. I asked the director, Renee Milton, why the bill was still so high after the discount. She told me it was because the enrollment fee had been added. I explained that Nia had told me the enrollment fee would be waived. Considering the multiple pricing errors beforehand, I felt some type of accommodation should have been made. Nia clearly needs additional training, and the communication between management is poor. Now onto the director, Renee Milton. She was extremely unprofessional throughout my experience there. One morning while dropping my children off, a teacher was running late. Renee said to me and another parent, "If it was up to me, I would get completely new staff." We were both visibly confused. As a parent, that is not something you want to hear from the person running the daycare your children attend. A few days later, I saw my oldest child doing something inappropriate on the camera system, so I called the school to address it and speak with my child. Later that evening, Renee brought up the situation and I mentioned that I like to monitor my child's behavior. She then responded, "You need to watch the cameras for these teachers as well." Again, I found this incredibly unprofessional. Regardless of how management feels about staff internally, those conversations should never be had with parents. The final issue involved my account balance. Earlier that week, I spoke with Renee over the phone and explained that I would pay the balance on Friday. She agreed that it was fine. Then, a day or two later, she messaged me through the parent portal reminding me to pay before drop-off, and I responded confirming that I would. Friday morning, I paid the balance before bringing my children in. While dropping them off, one of the teachers told me, "Renee said you can't drop off your child unless you pay your balance." I was absolutely upset. First, because I had already communicated with Renee multiple times about the payment. Second, because no teacher should have access to or be discussing my personal billing information with me. When I addressed it with Renee, she seemed more concerned about finding out who told me than understanding why the situation was inappropriate in the first place. At that moment, I decided my children would no longer attend this daycare. This was honestly one of the worst daycare experiences I have had. Renee and Nia are the main reason I would never recommend this school. It is hard to feel comfortable leaving your children somewhere when the director openly speaks negatively about staff members to parents. That being said, I do want to acknowledge the teachers who were wonderful to my children. Ms. Smiley was amazing, and honestly one of the main reasons I stayed as long as I did. Ms. Houda (I may be spelling her name incorrectly) was also wonderful with my 4-year-old and treated her with so much kindness and encouragement. Ms. Rochelle was incredibly sweet as well, and I truly believe she cared about my children. Those three teachers deserve recognition because they were the bright spots in an otherwise disappointing experience. The school has potential, but the current leadership is what will continue to hurt it.

I previously left a positive review for Grayson Academy because at the time I was happy with the…read morespace. However, after discovering that staff had slapped my child on the hand and bringing this to their attention, everything changed. Instead of taking accountability, they chose to remove my son from the program. I removed my original review and am posting this updated one because parents deserve to know the truth. It is beyond unacceptable that any form of abuse is tolerated in a daycare setting. And instead of making things right, they also kept my full week's payment without issuing a refund -- which is nothing short of theft. As a Black mother and an educated woman, I will not be silenced, intimidated, or "talked down" to with empty words. If necessary, I will take legal action. Parents need to understand what kind of environment this is, and I cannot in good conscience recommend this daycare to anyone. Thankfully, by the grace of God, I have since found a 24-hour daycare in the area with fair rates, professional staff, and a nurturing atmosphere where both children and parents are treated with genuine respect. Bottom line: Grayson Academy is not the safe, trustworthy place they claim to be. Parents, please be cautious

It's truly sad and unfortunate to see negative reviews about Grayson Academy, because our…read moreexperience has been nothing short of amazing. My younger brother attended Grayson Academy, and now my very own daughter goes there as well. That alone speaks volumes about the trust I have in them. I wholeheartedly trust Grayson Academy with my daughter. The staff is caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. They offer a variety of activities that keep the kids engaged, learning, and having fun. They are always planning cute, creative, and exciting things for the children to participate in. We have had such a positive experience, and I'm so grateful to be part of the Grayson Academy family.
