Philosophy
It is our hope that the lives of both you and your child will be enriched because of your association with us. We care about each child individually, striving not to compare, but to appreciate the precious rhythm of each one's growth. We do not in any way attempt to replace the priority of the home and its environment, but rather seek to supplement and enrich your child's experience.

Parent Involvement:
Parents are encouraged to participate in their child’s education. The observation area is open for parents to observe, however, it must not conflict with the instructional environment. Parent involvement activities are offered each month. Parent-teacher conferences are an integral part of helping children achieve their best. Conferences are arranged on a scheduled basis or at the parent’s request.
Special Needs:
The Early Education Center follows The Atlanta Public Schools Program under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Placement in appropriate special education program is determined by the child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and recommendations of the placement committee.
Communication:
Education is a partnership between home and school. We value parent involvement at every level and encourage you to partner with us. In order for this partnership to be effective, we need to be able to communicate. Please feel free to call, write a note, or e-mail us if you have concerns or questions about your child’s education. We are always available to schedule a conference to discuss any issue or concern you have regarding your child.
