Peachtree Prep

So my son went to the Covington location starting in August until about a week ago. They have been reaching out to me about his behavior, mind you, he just turned 3 years on last month. Anytime they reached out to let me know what he was doing, I was more than welcoming to talk with my son, model the behavior that was desired and show him videos so that I could collaborate with the teacher. He was doing normal 3 year old things like tantrums and not getting his way so he was getting upset. The teacher, Amanda, would tell me how much she loves my son and how she loves having him in her class to my face but would tell the current director(who by the way is new because it was not the director I signed my child up with) that he was so horrible that she would need a break from the class. I literally heard her on a voicemail that was left with her saying negative things about my son before the Director starting talking to my voicemail. It seems like you’re in the wrong field if you expect all kids to have “perfect” behavior at all times! Children are not a once size fits all type of thing and every child is different and should be approached differently. And again, MY CHILD JUST TURNED 3. He’s still learning! It seems like this has been a trend over time from reading other reviews. Anyway, the director called me last week to let me know about my child’s behavior and that someone needed to come pick him up for the day. My bf went to pick him up and he was told they don’t want him back. Now, as an educator and a parent, I called back to advocate for my son because I do actually like the school. She was willing to allow me to take my son to the pediatrician an would have a discussion the following week because they didn’t want him back for the rest of the week, ok cool, that’s fine. So after I took him and the Dr told me it was typical toddler behavior, I called her to let her know strategies I use at home. She let me go on and talk to which she responded they don’t want him back. The communication was terrible and I don’t appreciate any of those people at that school trying to villainize my son when HE’S A TODDLER LEARNING! Not a teenager, but a baby! I would NEVER recommend this school to ANYONE! And if your child does not have the perfect behavior, don’t even apply! I will leave them with a piece of advice as a veteran educator: Put your teachers in training so the can learn to deal with less than perfect behavior so they don’t have to “got take a break.” When you work in a school district in an urban setting, come back to me and let me know about how much of a “break” you need!!! Thanks for this Ted Talk. 🎤

My son has gone to this daycare for over a year and a half on the after school Program. I disenrolled him for summer break and called back a few weeks ago to get him signed back up for after school. I was told that was fine to stop by and get the paperwork to fill out and pay the fee. I went up there last week with my son and was handed the paperwork and told to bring it back when finished. When I called back up there on Friday to tell the director I would be in that afternoon to drop off paperwork. I was told “that will not be necessary” when I asked why? She said after I came in with my son earlier that week she remembered who he was and they would not like to have him back. It would have been great if she had told me this weeks ago when I called so I could have found a different daycare. I was confused by this as well though since he was not kicked out of the program at any point. I had just disenrolled for summer break which I spoke with the director back in may about when I did it and asked if I could reenroll when school started back and was told that would be no issue.

We love PeachTree! The ONLY daycare we trust. The owner, JaNice, is always so kind and goes out of her way to help you no matter what your need is.

A wonderful preschool/daycare. My son has learned so much since starting here. If you’re looking for childcare that provides an educational experience, this is the place to be. We love being part of the Peachtree family!

My son has been going here since he was 6 weeks old. I can't begin to explain how much he has thrived and learned. Mrs.Deloris and Mrs.Therese are the absolute best teachers that I could have asked for my son. All the staff truly take care of each child like their own.
