Our standard hours are from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Morning drop off begins at 9:30 AM. Children who arrive after 9:55am, will only be admitted to school with a doctor's note or if prior arrangements have been made with the director or child's teachers.

Not at this time. Because we are license-exempt through the state of Georgia, we are only permitted to have children at school for a maximum of 4 hours per day.

Our school year starts the first week of September and finishes around mid-May. For the 2026-2027 School Year, our first day of school is September 1, 2026 and our last day of school is May 19, 2027.

We closely follow Gwinnett County Public Schools Academic Calendar for our school breaks and holidays. A detailed school calendar is sent out to parents during the summer or upon enrollment. We also follow Gwinnett County guidance for any weather closings and delays. Current parents will have any last minute changes communicated to them through text and/or the Playground app.

We do not offer GA PreK. However, our curriculum standards are based on the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards (GELDS) that are used across GA PreK classrooms. We also offer the benefit of low student/teacher ratios (14:2), daily one-on-one attention from our teachers, and the use of Handwriting Without Tears curriculum.

The Georgia state cut-off for PreK is age 4 before Sept 1 and the Kindergarten cut-off is age 5 before Sept 1. We want to make sure that our cut-offs line up with theirs so there is no confusion for parents about when their child is ready to enroll in PreK or Elementary School.

Most of our students are learning English as a second, and sometimes third, language! Our teachers are well versed in teaching children who are still learning English and several of them also speak a second language. We love the diversity of our school and the vibrancy this brings to our days!

We are a nut-aware facility. We work closely with parents to develop individual care plans for children with severe allergies. All staff are trained in Epi-Pen administration, emergency protocols and are CPR certified.

We use a play-based, child-centered curriculum that integrates social-emotional development with early academics. We also use Handwriting Without Tears for our older classes to build strong foundational skills.

Potty training is not required for our 2-year-old or Transitional 3s classes. However, children in our Older 3s and Pre-K classes must be fully potty trained before the school year begins.
