3 Best Preschools in Augusta, GA

When I was looking for a preschool, I was looking for a place that would feel like home! Safe, fun, comforting and a place where I felt like I had great communication with the teachers/staff! This place hit the mark spot on! The teachers were wonderful, the director and secretary were helpful and kind! I felt like my needs and my child's needs were heard and met! My child flourished there- she grew and learned and I knew she was safe and cared for and learning by leaps and bounds daily! I wish Open Door would go all the way up to middle school! You will not find the same level of caring and education and amazing staff anywhere else in Augusta! Thank you ODP for treating us like family and treating us so well! I will continue to recommend this school forever!

I went here as a child and now my son attends Open Door - I love the teachers, the curriculum is the perfect balance of free play & structure and learning & fun, and the staff go above and beyond to make Open Door an enriching place for both students and their parents. They have extracurriculars like science class, movement, Spanish, and ballet that add to the multitude of activities. With few choices of preschool that are not religiously affiliated, Open Door provides fantastic exposure to a diversity of cultures, religions, races, and experiences for any preschooler. They brought my shy son out of his shell and now he's more than ready to go to kindergarten!

My children have attended for 6 years, and will continue. This school has become a part of my family and I wish they could go past kindergarten.

If I could give this center 100 stars, I absolutely would! My journey began with the incredible Director, Erica. As a single mom, I was very nervous about starting daycare, but Erica’s dedication and commitment to the children’s well-being truly put my mind at ease. She didn’t just reassure me with words—she’s proven, time and again, that her heart is genuinely in it for the kids. The Assistant Director, Bethany, is equally amazing. Together, they keep me well-informed, not only about what’s happening with my child but also offering helpful tips on areas we can work on together. The entire staff is wonderful, and my son always runs in with open arms. It took him a few months to settle in, and though he still has his moments, I know this is all part of his growth. We have to remember how challenging it can be for little ones to adjust to new people, and the team here has been so patient and caring through it all. The tuition is worth every penny. The staff prioritizes outdoor play whenever possible, which my son loves, and it’s wonderful to see a place led with such genuine care and leadership. We are so grateful for everyone at Cornerstone; they will always feel like family to my son and me.

Our experience with Cornerstone has been nothing shy of Amazing. The entire school has amazing teachers, but the infant room has loving teachers all around and makes you feel welcomed from day 1. Posting as a Social Worker/ Therapist who has seen and heard it all, I do not trust easily, especially with my child, but the teachers and staff have been nothing shy of amazing with our daughter and I have had no issues with worrying about her safety. They message or call me anytime there may be a concern with my little and I can drop in whenever or message for updates. We love and plan to grow with Cornerstone.

Cornerstone is one of the best daycare I have chosen for my son whom is in the 3year old classroom . The Director and her Staff are the best set of people you will ever meet.The morning greetings from staff by names and afternoon greetings are the best.The Center is very clean , sanitize and organized. I love how the Director. her assistant and teachers make you feel like family and keeps you updated on important information. My son has learned so much since he been going there. I can’t wait to see what Pre-K 4 has for us. I love the fact I can be stress free and knowing that my son is in great hands and safe while I’m at work for hours.
