Recommendations on Pre-K

I recommend the Goddard School on Towne Lake Parkway in Woodstock. The class size and student/teacher ratio is far better than state standard. Call Farah to schedule a tour or more info! P.

M.- Your child will THRIVE by being in an environment with his peers- my kids went to preschool from age 2 on- they loved it!!! Are you looking for a private preschool or are you planning on sending him to the GA state funded? I personally did private- it's not as long of a day- and they had to eat the school lunch (yuck- plus we had food allergies)I know of an excellent one in Roswell- and I have friends that live in Woodstock so I can help you out if you are looking for the private (church preschool's) route- I need a better of idea of your location- are you more in Woostock or Roswell area? most private are only 9-12 or 9-1 so you don't want to travel too far....Woodstock Baptist Preschool is excellent!! But there are a few other smaller ones that I love love love depending on yoru location- let me know and I'd love to help you out.

If you are looking for a great preschool, I think where I teach is GREAT! I teach at North Atlanta Church of Christ in the Sandy Springs/Dunwoody area (right of exit 6 on 400). We have two 4 year old classes (and depending on when his b'day is, we have a 5 yr. old class too. The teachers in those classes are great. I sent my children there before I started teaching there and I think it is a wonderful place. www.nacofc.org

Hi M.,

I wasn't sure if you are looking for the GA Funded Pre-K or another option...so, I wanted to tell you about what I think is "the best kept secret" with pre-K in the Roswell area. My daughter attends Cross of Life Montessori school in Roswell (off of Hembree Road - very close to Hembree Springs Elementary). She has attended for 2 years and is thriving. It is such a nurturing and loving environment. It's a very small school - only about 12 per class. There are 2 classes of primary students and 1 toddler class. I LOVE the smaller environment as my daughter still gets the socialization but also gets excellent attention. My daughter is only 4 - but she is already reading, doing addition and subtraction. They make learning such fun!! It is an AMI certified Montessori school. I didn't know much about the Montessori method prior to my daughter starting school there - but it has been great and they encourage the students to learn at their own pace. Also, it is through Cross of Life Lutheran church - but there are children of all different faiths that attend. This school has been such a blessing in our lives. Please feel free to email me (____@____.com) if you would like any more information.

Good luck on your search!

Roswell United Methodist Church (RUMCK) we will be going again next year for the 3rd year. (My daughter is 3) They are WONDERFUL. Your child will enjoy school wherever you choose and learn and grow by leaps and bounds.

I know the Presbyterian and Baptist churches also have programs that other kids I know like. Find something close to home and you will know within a week or two if your child is happy and enjoying it or not.

I have a girlfriend who faced the same situation when it came time to deciding on a preschool. After much research, she went with High Meadows. Loved it so much they're continuing on with Kindergarten. It's a private school, though, so it's pricey. But they do offer financial aid, from what I understand.
