I want to start off this review by saying the teachers here are AMAZING,super loving, and caring! The Front Desk Admin Amber goes above and beyond for the school. If I wasn't employed here, I would think she was the Director. Amber knows all the rules and follows them thoroughly. Brittany the Assistant Director, is a great leader and wonderful manager as well. The cons of this academy would have to be the Director Sandi. She lacks leadership skills severely and unfortunately if she isn't having a good day, the ENTIRE staff feels the raft. Sandi is super unprofessional. She sits in her office judging and gossiping about everyone. I have over heard conversations that I'm sure parent's would not be pleased to hear about. She needs to hire a better cleaning crew because the classroom bathrooms are always gross and smell like urine. I do not believe she has the appropriate leadership skills it takes to run a daycare at all. This academy is one strike away from being shut down by state so you would think that she would show more care and compassion for her staff and the kids of the academy. In emergencies, it gets super hectic. The school bathrooms had flooded about a week ago and instead of closing down immediately, she didn't inform parents until 2 hours before closing. Kids were forced to use the bathroom on top of each other which is pure FILTH. They claim a hazmat team was sent out to clean thoroughly, but the next day you could tell the school wasn't cleaned properly being that my classroom floor was still the same from the day before. The teachers here aren't appreciated enough and my outlook on my time being here wasn't a pleasant one. Sandi is very rude and can be very unpleasant to work with. Her lack of empathy for others really bothers me. Unfortunately, I feel that I was unfairly fired because I was on my phone. I have no write ups or warnings prior to the termination. Since Sandi claims to be such a rule follower, I just would like to point out that on some days her grown adult daughter sleeps in the cluttered media center in the front lobby. The day of my termination, Sandi followed behind me trying to provoke me as I was trying to leave. Everyone uses their phones here so why did mine have to result in termination. I felt like a target of hers and I didn't understand why. I reached out to my former "boss" (Sandi) to gain clarity on the termination and I have yet to get a response. Now, I'm just waiting on my separation notice to take the appropriate action for my next step. I wouldn't recommend bringing your child here if it was your last resort. RUN RUN RUN !

My first son went here when it was Kids Harbor and we loved it..we moved when our second son was born and went to 4 different daycares, having horrible experiences, until finally coming back to (now) Cadence Academy. Although the name has changed, their commitment to the children and their families hasn’t changed at all! The director Miss Sandy is still here and many of the staff! If we ever have a question or concerns they address it immediately. Coming from a mama who has had some terrible experiences with daycares, you will not regret bringing your child to Cadence Academy!

Literally the best daycare ever. Everyone is so welcoming. I wouldn’t trust my daughter being anywhere else.

My daughter went to Cadence Academy from 6 months to pre-k. Unfortunately, I have to move her to a different school. I absolutely love this daycare. The director Sandi is the best and she runs a wonderful school. All of her teachers since coming here have been phenomenal. The teachers challenge the kids and truly help them become more advanced in their learning. If you are looking for a daycare I am telling you this is the place! I am so sad I’m leaving.

This is our 3rd daycare and I can tell this is our LAST daycare. We will never change again. I could not be happier. The level of care is extraordinary. I feel so comfortable and confident leaving my 20 month old son with this wonderful team. All the staff are so warm, and caring. The rooms are clean, the staff are organized (even with toddlers). I’ve noticed such a positive change in my son, he’s speaking more, eating more, he’s so happy going to daycare. I love that they provide snack and lunch, they really give exceptional service. Pick up is not an experience that I dread anymore (at previous daycares), worrying what I’ll see when I show up. The teachers are so engaged with the children, the kids look happy, clean, put together and like they are having a blast. That’s all you can hope for as a parent, to find a safe place with loving people to care for your little one when you’re away. I am very grateful. I would recommend this location to anyone, the administration, teachers and staff are exceptional.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this school. I was apprehensive about trying a new school for my son, but my only regret is not switching to Cadence sooner. The staff and teachers are amazing. The teachers are warm, engaging and truly care about the children. My son has thrived since starting at Cadence and I’m incredibly grateful.

My family is sooo thankful for Cadence Academy Old Peachtree. Both of my kids and thriving, they each come home daily telling me all about how much they are learning. When we switched to Cadence Academy my son had been traumatized by his previous school so as a mom I was extremely nervous for him. Ms. Sandi and Ms Britany were always so welcoming and made me feel at ease- I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about the teachers and directors at this facility. Ms. Amber(both of them), Ms.Nicole, Ms. Shannon, Ms. Diamond, and Ms. Breanna are truly amazing individuals. The kids are in structured environments but have a blast while learning.They are always doing fun activities throughout the facility to keep the kids excited about going to school. My only regret is that my kids haven’t gone here since birth!

My son has been at this learning center since he was 6 months old and it is like his second home. Every teacher has been amazing and I do not worry about my son after I drop him off each morning, which is priceless. They welcomed us from the second we walked through the door and always willing to listen to parents. We appreciate Sandy and everyone there so much, don't know what we would do without them!

Kids Harbor of Old Peachtree Road has become a part of my family. My son has been going there since he was 8 months old. He just finished the Private Kindergarten program and I am so proud of him and what he has learned. His reading and math is excelling. He is ready for first grade. He has learned so much and loves the school and teachers. The staff is very attentive to each child’s needs. I wish they had more grade levels outside of Private Kindergarten. I would recommend Kids Harbor for anyone needing daycare/school for their children.

I absolutely love Kids Harbor of Old Peachtree, and so does my baby girl! They have made it so much easier for me having to put her in daycare. She loves every employee she sees, and has a smile on her face when I drop her off and pick her up! The staff is great, and I recommend them to everyone I know looking for a trustworthy place for their child. Thank you for being so awesome!!

My daughter is in her second year at Kids Harbor, and she had always loved getting up to go to school. The staff is beyond amazing! They are attentive and loving. They take the time to get to know the kids and the families that attend. My daughter is not only learning, but she is thriving!!! I couldn't ask for a better place for my daughters to attend!
