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.

Testimonials
What The Parents Say
-
We are so grateful for the two years our son spent at Mt.Elizabeth, from September 2024 to August 2026. From day one, we felt this was a place he could be safe, cared for, and genuinely loved. The staff and teachers here are wonderful. Every single person knew our son’s name and greeted him with a “good morning” and a warm goodbye every day — small things, but they made a real difference in how safe and happy he felt walking through those doors. Teachers and all the management team (Ms. Samantha, in particular), was always there for us, patiently addressing any concerns we had along the way. The daycare has two large playgrounds, giving the kids plenty of space to run and play, and they keep closures throughout the year to a minimum, which was a huge help for us as working parents. What really stands out, though, is how much our son grew here. He started forming full sentences just a month after joining, got fully potty trained, learnd to read letters, count and even learned to ride a bike — all during his time there. He walked in as a toddler and walked out a confident, brave, happy young boy. We can’t thank the whole team enough for everything they did for him and for us. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a place that truly feels like a second home.

We are so grateful for this daycare! The staff is caring, understanding, and truly passionate about the children. They treated our kids like family and always made us feel confident they were in loving hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better place and highly recommend them!

This is the best place you can send your child! I went to this pre-school from 2015-2016 and I had an amazing experience (I am now in highschool). Naturally I was a shy child but spending my early developmental years at the this school aided me in various ways. I often try to remember the prayer song we’d sing before eating. We all participated in choir, praying before meals, field trips, + we got amazing support from the teachers. Additionally this school had always went all out for st patricks day, christmas, graduation, etc and it was carried out both creatively and orderly. Thank you Mt. Elizabeth Academy for paving the way for my first steps into the world while also teaching me the importance of being kind even in trying times!

We have taken our daughter here since an infant and couldn’t recommend it enough. Through the pictures and videos throughout the day and messages we receive it is clear how safe and loved our daughter is. I’m amazed at how much she has learned and look forward to continuing to see her thrive here.

Mt.Elizabeth Academy has been nothing but wonderful for my daughter for the past several years! She has started Elementary school this year and is above the curriculum so far thanks to Mt.Elizabeth setting her up for success. The staff is lovely – they are always smiling and make you feel like family. I highly recommend Mt.Elizabeth to anyone looking for the perfect daycare/school for their children. There is nothing more special than knowing your child is safe and well taken care of while you are at work.

We absolutely love Mt. Elizabeth and so does our daughter! After touring multiple daycares, we knew right away that this was the right fit for our family. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel like part of the family, which gave us such peace of mind as first-time parents navigating this transition. One of the things that stands out most is how every staff member greets each child by name, creating an environment where every kid feels seen and cared for. It’s easy to see how comfortable the children are, and how much trust they place in their teachers. The teachers are not only kind and thoughtful, but they also genuinely care for our daughter! We are so grateful to have found Mt. Elizabeth. Knowing our daughter is in such a loving, nurturing, and engaging environment makes all the difference for our family.

My son is about a month and a half into Pre-K (Year 3) at Mt. Elizabeth Academy, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care and education he’s getting. One of the first things you notice right away is how every single staff member knows your child’s name and yours from the very first day. It’s such a small thing, but it makes you feel instantly welcome and part of the family. The leadership team is just incredible. The Godley’s, Ms. Samantha, Ms. Laura, Ms. Donna, and Ms. Cathie (who recently retired but deserves a big shoutout) truly go above and beyond for the families here. You can feel how much they care, and it gives you such peace of mind knowing your child is surrounded by people who genuinely love what they do. His teachers, Ms. TeTe, Ms. Shequila, and now Ms. Kisha have all been wonderful. They really get to know each child’s personality and learning style, and they find ways to bring out the best in them. I’m so thankful for the patience, love, and energy they pour into my son every single day. I can’t recommend Mt. Elizabeth Academy enough. The care is second to none, and for parents with busy work schedules, the year round 6:30am–6pm hours give you more flexibility than most. Plus, lunch and snacks are included in tuition, which makes things even easier. Truly, this school has been such a blessing!

So thankful to find this absolute gem of a program for our toddler. I have already seen the positive growth and development in my daughter. It’s a testament to the wonderful program and people, starting with her primary teacher Ms. Katherine! I’m almost jealous how much my daughter loves her lol
