Schools in Smyrna, GA

“Vinings Academy has been an absolute blessing for our family. From the moment we enrolled our children, we’ve consistently been impressed with the level of care, professionalism, and genuine warmth shown by the entire staff.

The teachers are not only attentive and nurturing, but they truly take the time to get to know each child as an individual. It’s clear they are passionate about what they do, and it shows in how comfortable, happy, and engaged the children are every day. Our children looks forward to going to school, which speaks volumes.

We’ve also appreciated the strong communication from the team. Whether it’s updates throughout the day, progress in learning, or just small moments they share, it gives us peace of mind knowing our children are in such good hands.

The environment is clean, safe, and structured in a way that supports both learning and social development. We’ve seen tremendous growth in our children both academically and socially since attending Vinings Academy.

We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and foundation they are providing. I would highly recommend Vinings Academy to any parent looking for a supportive, enriching, and loving daycare environment.”

“We have 3 kids at this location and have been very happy the last year! Ms Jennifer and Ms Ro are always kind. Our teachers (ms Chris, ms trianna, ms amaya, ms liz, ms nunu, and ms Beatrice ) all go above and beyond for our kids. They have GA pre-k, soccer, speech therapy and many other included activities. Highly recommend!!”

“I can’t say enough good things about The Learning Academy! We just moved to another county and had to pull our little one out, but if it weren’t for the move she would have been here thru Pre-K. My daughter started at 5 months after a negative experience at another daycare. I was between here and another center and took her for a drop in day and immediate knew it was the place for us. We love all of the teachers in the infant room, and we felt confident leaving our little one knowing that they love her. Whenever I would drop her off, someone was always holding their arms out to take her. There is always a teacher on the floor holding and engaging with the babies. The center truly feels like a community, and I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and loving place for their little one.”

“We love Oxford babies. Our daughter has been there since 4 months old. The staff is always kind with her and us. We switched daycares to try out a more affordable option, but quickly realized the quality was not the same and thankfully they took us back immediately, which we are so grateful for. She is much happier being back at Oxford babies.”

“We absolutely love our school! We’ve had two kids here for over three years, and our experience has been consistently wonderful.

The teachers genuinely care about the children, and the low staff turnover speaks volumes. Our kids have loved every teacher they’ve had across all age groups.

Drop-off and pick-up are always quick and easy right at the front door. One of the standout features is the large backyard - our kids get more outdoor time than at other schools, and they usually eat lunch outside.

The kids love the garden the kids help maintain. They grow things like mint, onions, and strawberries, and my girls are always excited to talk about what they’ve picked and eaten from it.

The school also does an amazing job creating fun experiences and a strong sense of community. There are so many events and celebrations throughout the year. Summer is especially fun with themed camp activities like Water Wednesdays, dress-up, and Olympics.

We receive photos and updates throughout the day through the app, and communication is always easy and responsive. They are very accommodating, and they’ve built such a welcoming community for both kids and parents. It will be a sad day when we age out!

Highly recommend!”

“The staff at Bright Futures Academy are what make this daycare so wonderful. They are so caring and kind to my girls, and have become like family to us over the past 4 years. We are incredibly happy with the support they have provided us with speech development, potty training, and socialization. Our children are loved and run into their classes everyday with smiles on their faces. As a working parent, it makes me feel very grateful to drop my precious babies off and see them run in with joy to play with their friends and learn from the caring staff. The hours of operation are very helpful for working families, the policies are fair, and the cost is very reasonable for the quality of care and services provided. Could not recommend more highly.”

“We recently moved to Georgia last summer and searched for a Pre-K/daycare option for our 5 and 3 year old. We’ve been so happy with our experience this year! Most importantly our kids enjoy school and their teachers care for them. We highly recommend!”

“We are so happy with this school, we been taking our child here for 4 months already. We did a tour when i was pregnant (very early in pregnancy about 15 weeks along) made a deposit the same night of the tour. The school is small and the director is busy so if you are trying to check out the school just need to be a little patient and follow up. I kept open communication with Amanda once our baby was born and the estimate date of start. She made sure to give me a call once the date was getting close to make sure i knew what we needed to bring and expectations for the Infant class. We are so happy with all the teachers and our child is truly so smiley when dropping and picking up! Looking forward for the next few years with them!”

“I never write reviews but I had to for this specific location because this year my youngest was sent to Pre-k and they made it soo comfortable for my baby she was very clingy to me so I was worried about sending her to school. Every single person at this location is so sweet and understanding and very involved they knew my baby’s name and face on the first day already and now she absolutely loves going to school and seeing her teachers, she says she’s going to miss them a lot and honestly so am I ? they care so much about each child and their developments individually and as a whole? thank you so much for an amazing school year ( and summer) I would very much recommend this exact location to friends and family! Definitely worth it?”

“Finding the right school for your child is one of the biggest decisions a parent can make, and I can confidently say Beyond the Books Academy has exceeded every expectation imaginable. From Pre-K through 5th grade, the level of care, education, leadership, and genuine love poured into these children is unmatched. The founder, Tanisha Taylor Jones, is an extraordinary woman who dreamed of a school that felt like a true village; she didn’t just create a building, she created a place where futures are shaped, confidence grows, and countless students feel inspired because of her dream.

The teachers at Beyond the Books Academy are patient, passionate, attentive, and deeply invested in every child’s growth, both academically and personally. My daughter has flourished here in ways that go far beyond the classroom. She feels safe, encouraged, challenged, and truly seen every single day. The communication with parents is outstanding, the staff is incredibly supportive, and the leadership consistently goes above and beyond to make this school truly feel like family. You can tell Mrs. Tanisha, Mrs. Angela, Mrs. Kenya and Mrs. Ray and staff genuinely care about shaping confident, kind, intelligent young people. Every event, every classroom, every interaction reflects excellence.

What makes BTBA stand out is the environment they’ve created; a perfect balance of academic excellence, strong values, creativity, and community. BTBA offers scholarships and flexible enrollment options to ensure cost is never a barrier to learning. Hands-down the best Pre-K through 5th grade school, my daughter and our family look forward to Project Future Summer Camp and the coming 2026–2027 school year with Beyond the Books Academy. We are beyond grateful to be part of such an amazing community, and I recommend this school with my whole heart.”

“My son attended Primrose School of Smyrna West for 2.5 years. We had such an amazing experience here. All of his teachers were kind and professional. We absolutely loved Ms. Gaines, Ms. Cat, Ms Hester and Ms K. Each teacher made me feel like they loved my child like their own! The classrooms are always clean and organized. The children are engaged in meaningful learning opportunities throughout the day. Any time of the day I entered the classroom, the class was well managed and engaged with an activity. The owner, Mr. Guila, is frequently present. The director Ms. Nash and assistant director Ms. Odom (and previously Ms. Langlet) are always kind and helpful. My son is more than prepared for kindergarten next year! I can't say enough about how great this school was for our family.”

“My little niece is enrolled here and I have to say that I have absolutely LOVED how much she has progressed since Miss Mesha has been in her class. She is becoming more verbal and independent. She has always been a very timid child but I have personally witnessed her interactions with this teacher and saw such a spark. Her parents have tried other schools but I found this one through a mutual friend who has a daughter in the class and can say that having miss Mesha was godsend.”

“I have enjoyed watching my son grow and develop with his peers. Starting from infants with Mrs. Maria and Mrs. Lexi tracking when he started to sit-up, crawl, and take his first step. Now toddler with Mrs. Gamble and Tasha learning to communicate interact with others, learning so much more. Loved seeing my boy’s milestones via video, pictures, and written/ verbal communication. I truly appreciate all the staff who has a hand in raising all the babies. Mrs. Dariel and mrs. Dayna up front always ready to jump in to help.”

“IAS is an absolutely amazing school. We've been here for 5 yrs and every year had been amazing. My children have passed this last year and while virtual thay ALL made A/B Honors. They are a charter school and your children, your scholars deserve the best. Enroll your elementary students now.BTW... this was some of the EOY drive thorugh celebration??????????????”

“We’ve been a part of the Childcare Network family for 3 years now and have witnessed a lot of change in that time - but one thing that has been consistent is that our daughter has been blessed with teachers who love what they do and have made her feel comfortable and supported. She enjoys the teachers and they are assertive in teaching the 3-year-old class a strong curriculum. In three years the school has increased communication with parents, adapted to make the center more like a children’s school with art on the walls, fun events and interactive for parents to meet frequently with teachers. I cannot sing the praises of Ms. Frances, Ms. Melani, Ms. Dee and many others any higher. Twice my daughter moved up to a next age classroom and the teacher moved with her. I cannot emphasize how great that was for her development and comfort. At a small age it’s hard to adapt to new teachers and I think this has really helped our child thrive. The best evidence is that we’re sending our next child there as well.My main reason for giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that there has been a bit of front office turnover. I have gotten to know all of the directors very well and I will say Ms. Regina has done a really great job in evolving the school. We were happy before she began growing the curriculum and now we’re even more confident. The consistency of teachers assisted a feeling of stability. I would definitely recommend anyone needing childcare to consider this center, it’s been wonderful for us.”
