Dear Prospective Family,
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Mt. Elizabeth Academy, where we place an emphasis on providing exceptional early childhood development and education in a loving and nurturing environment. Mt. Elizabeth Academy is a Quality Rated, family-owned Christian preschool, pre-k, private kindergarten, and daycare; founded and operated by master educators in Kennesaw, Georgia. We offer discovery-based learning activities, sensory manipulatives, and developmental centers that fully engage our students in learning and growth. In addition, we assess your child’s understanding and gently challenge them to continue through their next developmental phase, all in a fun and engaging play-based atmosphere.
In addition to being a mother of two, I spent the last 30 years professionally involved in early learning; as a teacher, a principal and a mentor to developing teachers. I have spoken at workshops around the world and I am an early learning professional. I pride myself on staying up-to-date on the newest research in early learning education and child development. While developing and delivering outstanding programs and curriculum are passions, most importantly I love children. I support our families and I cultivate a nurturing atmosphere of comfort and security.
Please make an appointment to come in for a tour. I look forward to showing you what a wonderful school and community we have.

Our Programs

Infants
Ages 6W – 14M
Our babies are cared for by loving, enthusiastic, and nurturing caregivers in a safe, soothing, and happy environment. Their daycare needs are addressed with smiles and frequent eye contact with their teachers.
Toddler I
Ages 1yr – 2yrs
Our toddler program nurtures the “I can do it!” mindset, while also helping toddlers understand their relationship to the environment and the daycare peers around them.
Toddler II
Ages 2yr – 3yrs
The Toddler II Classroom invites older toddlers to a more structured class routine. This allows them to develop an understanding of their day, encouraging predictability and a sense of security, as well as helping to enhance their learning and attention.
Preschool
Ages 3yrs – 4yrs
Our Preschool Program provides a fun and loving environment for all of our children. We understand the value of play in the lives of young children. Through play, children develop cognitive, physical, social, and emotional wellbeing.
Private Pre-K
Ages 4yrs – 5yrs
Pre-K (Kindergarten Prep) is a wonderful place to begin a lifetime of formal learning. It is a year for learning, growing, making new friends, and for lots of fun! Using a theme-based, whole child approach to learning, we teach the basics of literacy and math.
Private Kindergarten
Ages 4yrs – 5yrs
Mt. Elizabeth Academy’s Private Kindergarten STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) Program is a wonderful place for children to continue the journey of formal learning. It is a year for learning, growing, making new friends, and for lots of fun too! Using a theme-based, whole-child approach to learning, we teach the basics of literacy and math.
Camp
Ages Rising 1st Graders – 5th Graders

What The Parents Say

Our daughter went to this school and we are trying to get our son into the school. Great teachers and staff.

Mt. Elizabeth is the most exceptional school my children have ever been to. From the directors to the teachers, everyone is so warm and welcoming. The teachers are outstanding; the way they connect with the kids is absolutely incredible. As a Christian, it was important we send out children to a school they would talk and learn about Jesus. After a few weeks my daughter was leading prayer at the dinner table. I could go on and on about how great Mt. Elizabeth is, I suggest if you’re a parent looking for a school, look no further!

Thank you Mt. E! You exceeded all expectations we had. The teachers and administration team is the best. The activities and experiences our girls had will be memories they keep forever. We’re sad to leave but know they are ready for a new experience because of the education they received. Thank you for providing our girls a 2nd home.

It’s hard to find the words to express how much we love Mt.E. They are more than a daycare; they are family! We sent all 3 of kids there & it’s been nothing but amazing. We never had to worry throughout the day how our babies were doing, thanks to Brightwheel. The staff not only loved & cared for our children but helped them learn & grow! Everyone was amazing! Highly recommend!!!

I love this daycare! It’s privately owned and you can tell the owners really care about the kids. The teachers update you throughout the day with photos, videos, and alert you if any accidents occur. The pricing is on par with other daycares in the area, but the quality is leagues above the chains. They deep clean daily and my daughter rarely gets sick anymore (whereas she caught everything at the chain daycare we used before switching). She actually gets upset if I pick her up too early! My only complaint is that they discontinued their GA Pre-K class. Fingers crossed they’ll bring it back at some point.

We have been at Mt. E since 2019 with our two daughters and we love it here! The staff, teachers and owners are all so friendly and they really care about the children. The front staff knows every child by name, the teachers are loving and the owners are fabulous! We love Mt. E!

The owners, the reception team, the teachers and the entire staff are supportive and friendly. Their communication and frequent updates are wonderful, and my son seems to always be learning something new. We’ve been having an excellent experience at Mt Elizabeth.

If there was a way to give this school 10 stars, I most definitely would! They were genuinely a blessing for my son and I. We moved to Georgia from Texas without having any family around. My son who had never been to a daycare previously, had already been to two prior to finding Mt. Elizabeth Academy and the experiences were truly horrible. Our experience at Mt. Elizabeth Academy was amazing from the moment we arrived for our tour. Ms. Kathy at the front desk was so genuinely concerned about my 2 year old and adamant about turning his daycare experience around. She made sure that the staff knew of his previous experience and assured his safety. When the owner, Ann, heard our story and cry for help, her response was “How soon can he start?” I never felt so grateful and was on the verge of tears by the end of the tour. On my son’s first day, when he met his new teacher, Ms. Katherine, she immediately took him in as if he was her own. My son, who had become extremely standoffish of any new adult especially a new daycare, immediately allowed her to hold him which was very shocking but reassuring. In less than four months, my 2 year old who literally cried at both previous daycares from the moment we entered the parking lot, now is excited to go to school to see his teachers and play with his friends. I will forever be grateful and in their debt for taking care of the most precious person in my life and would recommend them to ANYONE whose looking for a quality, loving and highly education school for their children!

My household is truly thankful for Mt. Elizabeth! Our son attended the academy from January 2021 through November 2023. In an industry that is known to have difficulties with employee retention, they did an incredible job hiring kind, caring, intentional teachers that made a lasting impression on our son. The owners and staff did a wonderful job at communicating any and all situations that needed to be addressed (i.e., a fall on the playground that left a scraped knee or a classroom struggle over a toy resulting in a classmate biting). The facility is clean and tended to appropriately and the environment was welcoming and warm. The processes and procedures were made clear and the Brightwheel system of communication between staff and parents was used regularly to share photos/updates of our son and what he was doing throughout the day. We loved receiving pictures and details of activities going on throughout the day. It allowed for us to be more involved with our son outside of the school day to discuss what he did and know who his friends were. Overall, our experience was very positive and we will always be grateful. The Godley’s have put their heart into Mt. Elizabeth and it shows!

This is the best daycare in Kennesaw. The facility is clean and organized. Staffs are kind and caring. My daughter has been attending the school since July and has been thriving. They teach Spanish 3 days a week to the children, because of that, my 2 year old daughter speaks 3 languages at home. They also teach the children how to pray before they eat and I love that. Now my daughter prays everytime before she eats. Thank you to the teachers and staff there.
