Our Difference

Local Schools, Shared Commitment

Every Childlife Preschool school has its own director, teachers, and front door. What they share is what families count on: teachers who know your child, learning through play, a secure school, and practical help for busy weeks.

At Every School

What You Can Count On

Staff Who Know Your Child

The song that settles them, the friend they look for first, the way they like to say goodbye. Our teachers learn it quickly.

Play With a Purpose

A tower of blocks is early math. A made-up story is language and problem-solving. Learning Beyond Paper turns a fun day into a full day of learning.

A School You Can Trust

Controlled entry, daily sign-in and sign-out, and Georgia's required ratios in every classroom.

You Stay in the Know

Photos and updates on your phone, and a teacher at pickup who can tell you what your child loved today.

Built Around Real Schedules

Meals and snacks provided, Drop-In Care when plans change, free Georgia Pre-K and school transportation at participating schools, and four schools so one is close to home.

Why Our Families Trust Us

"We've had a great experience here! The staff are always friendly, caring, and wonderful with our son. We especially love the daily photo updates. It's so fun to see what he's learning, playing, and doing throughout the day. Knowing he's happy, well cared for, and enjoying his time there gives us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend! 😊"

"Both my daughters attended Childlife Preschool-my oldest from 2 years old, and my youngest from 6 months. We have always appreciated the caring and friendly staff that cared for our children. In all, we spent 8 years at Childlife through daycare and summer camp. My girls made friends, learned so much that prepared them for Kindergarten, and were cared for by kind and loving staff who helped develop their talents and made them feel safe and special. I highly recommend Childlife on Waters for any parent looking for a safe and effective place for their young one to grow."

"I am extremely happy with how fast my son is learning at Childlife Preschool! We only speak English at home, but he is already understanding Spanish, learning to feed himself, and picking up new words every day. The pictures I receive daily make my day! When I ask if he wants to see his teachers, Yeni and Scarlett, he gets excited and says their names. If I ever had to choose another childcare center, it would have to be just as amazing as Childlife. The communication is TOP TIER, and I truly appreciate the care, love, and attention my son receives. I couldn't be happier with our experience!"

"We’ve had a very positive experience with Childlife Preschool. The teachers and staff are kind, attentive, and caring with the children. Lara has been very well treated, and I feel comfortable knowing she is in a safe and welcoming environment. Communication with the families is also very good. I’m very grateful for the care and attention they give her every day. I highly recommend Childlife Preschool!"
