3 Best Preschools in Athens, GA

We love the teachers and staff at AppleTree Prep Athens! We joined the waitlist a few months before the baby was born, and our daughter joined at 5 months. We have learned a lot from the experienced teachers and staff, Ms. Millie, Ms. Ariana, Ms. Cam, Ms. Charlotte, and Ms. Keelie have been amazing caretakers of our baby girl. They’ve taught us a lot, give great advice, and always know how to help our kiddo learn and grow. Ms. Amanda and Ms. Susan make it easy for us to get info and support as they run the school too. We really appreciate them, and would highly recommend this as your daycare and school.

Writing this as a parent, I like Apple Tree. The teachers (past and present) have been lovely. My kids enjoy going there and I love that the teachers and staff know my kids by name and are greeted every morning with a smile. I understand that there are some kinks to work out with new management (like any business), but so far we've had a good experience here.

My family and I love Apple Tree Prep! The staff is so caring about the kids. My favorite thing is that they incorporate so many activities to expand the kids learning. ATP was my daughters first time in a daycare, and I cannot imagine a better place for her. I truly am so thankful to all of the staff for the love they have for my precious baby.

We love Primrose, and it means so much to both of my daughters. One started at 18 months, graduated from kindergarten, and she also loves coming back for summer camp. My younger daughter started at 15 months during the COVID-19 pandemic and is now in the Pre-K2 class. Both of them truly love being here. They enjoy playing with the cool new toys, love the clean and fun playground, and have made so many friends. They’re growing up in such a sweet and supportive environment while learning valuable knowledge and life skills. My 4-year-old constantly shares her school stories, like, "Mommy, did you know we have three Ms. Amandas? One has long hair in my classroom, one has short hair on the playground, and the other has curly hair in the front office!" She even says, "Ms. Amanda helped me tie my shoes—she's my best friend!" Or she'll ask, "Mommy, can you give me two ponytails like my teacher did?" One of the most heartwarming moments is when I arrive near closing time sometimes and find my little one listening to a story with her Pre-K1 teacher, even though she’s in Pre-K2 now. It really shows how caring and connected the staff are with the children. We’re so grateful to be part of the Primrose family.

My kids are so lucky to be part of Primrose, their communication with parents is so refreshing, Primrose is exceptional at pickup for communication, from the teachers to the administrators. It's been hardly 2 months at Primrose Athens and I could see drastic change academically with my 4-year-old, love their PRE-K Program. Thank you for all you do.

I believed that sending my child to Primrose School would help with his first English education. My child initially struggled with both speaking and listening in English, but thanks to the teachers’ consistent care and guidance—like using a translator to communicate in a familiar language—he has started to understand the situation better. Now, after about two months, my child looks forward to going to school and enjoys communicating with friends. 1
