  • We absolutely loved our time at Mt. E! The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of our girls. We moved to a new town which is the only reason why we're not still there.

  • Mt. Elizabeth Academy is a GREAT school, and like any other facility it has it's pros & cons. However, from a personal experience there are more pros which contributes to the progression of the school. I worked as the private pre-k teacher (over a year ago), and was one of the 1st hires. Unfortunately, personal issues took place in my life that affected my passion in teaching, along with the high potential the directors saw in me when I was first hired. One thing I could never do is speak badly about Ann & Rob because they were always concerned, encouraging, and doing their best to maintain a school of excellence. I thank them for their honesty, and for doing what they felt was best to do for the success of the class, although I felt it was personal and unfair at the time. Mt. E was indeed my stepping stone for growth and opportunity, and if it had not been for the honest wake-up call the Godley's gave me, I wouldn't be where I am now, back in the classroom, teaching passionately with much more to offer my elementary students. * I HIGHLY recommend MT.E for parents looking for an amazing school to place their child(ren) and/or those looking for a great place to work with a passion & love for children.

  • Oh where to start... So many great things about this school. First off, I checked out almost every single daycare/school in Kennesaw and some in Marietta. There are pros and cons to each school. I have to admit, Mt. Elizabeth may not have every single pro other schools can offer, but Mt.E provides my child a loving, safe, and educationally healthy environment. My son not only loves his primary teacher, but every teacher that comes into his classroom. He is a pretty shy boy, but has grown to be confident, smart, and socially well rounded. At 3 he came home already able to spell out the first letter of almost every word. I also noticed the way he plays with other kids has become considerate and respectful while expressing himself through conversation. I also have to note, my kid barely gets sick at this school! I honestly cannot remember a time he missed school because he was sick from coming to school. Besides all these, the main reason we came to Mt.E is because of my primary impression and connection with the owners Rob and Ann. They are so easy to talk to, actually genuine in their conversations, and considerate when discussing any matter regarding my son's care. They encourage teacher communication which shows they realize so much depends on the teacher/student/parent interactions. I have spent many afternoons at pick up talking to my son's teacher about his progress, any issues, or just about what we did over the weekend! I feel the owners encourage such an environment for this to take place and hires teachers with the same views (special shout out to Ms. Corinne!! Best teacher ever!) Thank you Ann, Rob, and all teachers and staff for making such a great place for these young ones to be!

  • Mt. Elizabeth Academy has been a great place and opportunity for me to continue my education. As a toddler teacher, I enjoy being in the classroom planning activities and fun things for the children to do. I love what I do and I couldn't thank Mt. E and the directors Ann and Rob for helping me to make my dreams of having my own classroom and teaching come true. The environment is friendly, clean as well as healthy and other teachers help to make it possible. Parents are friendly and of course the children are little cuties soaking up the learning and love given each day. I really enjoy Mt. E and will continue to grow with them. SA

  • I did so much research before I placed 2 of my children in daycare/school. Its been a year and i can truthfully say Mt E did not disappoint. Right from management the directors and the teachers are caring commited individuals and do so many different things and activities for the kids. The place is happy and bubbly, the hallways are so pretty with decoarated classroom doors that change with seasons/months...there's lots of variety throughout the day music, Spanish, they encourage reading time even for littles who cannot read which is so essential, my little girl will pick up a book and comb through the pages just like she were reading words. They have arts and crafts and play outside in designated well equipped playgrounds (even water fun days in the summer) and for bad weather days they have a large equipped room for the kids to run and play. Lastly i want to mention that they post loads of pics thtough the day so you are part of the daily happenings. Food is prepared and provided too for each child with the option of bfast. I can go on and on but i wanted to let moms in the area know about this gem 💎 of a place that does so much for my kids.

  • My children have been at Mt. E since the first day the doors opened. I am so happy and proud to see how well they have done. Having had both great and bad daycare experiences previously, I was concerned about finding the right school when we moved to Kennesaw. I visited several daycare centers in the area and was not impressed. Then I came across Mt. Elizabeth's website. They were still under construction but Rob and Ann met with me and my husband and took us on a tour and we knew it was the right place for our babies. The facility is clean and the teachers are AMAZING! Ms Corinne, Ms Shequila, Ms Terre, everyone is fabulous. I feel like my kids are not only being taught well, but they are actually loved. Every school has growing pains and staffing issues from time to time. But, the thing I love about Mt. E is that I can talk to Ann or Rob and my concerns are always addressed immediately and we work together to do what is best for the children. My children and I highly recommend Mt. Elizabeth!

  • I have so many wonderful things to say about Mt. Elizabeth. We enrolled with them in early 2019 after a lot of heartfelt consideration about leaving our previous daycare. We were seeking a smaller school that paid more attention to the students (our previous school had 19+ children per classroom and it was simply chaos). I did my homework. Toured every school in the area, spoke with the directors extensively, asked as many questions as I could, and chose to go with Mt. Elizabeth. I have not regretted my decision once. My two children are loved by every teacher they've had, I have direct communication with the teachers and admin staff (our previous school did not encourage direct communication with teachers during the day), and they are learning so SO much. I feel known and heard by the admin staff, they have handled the COVID quarantine gracefully and empathically, and they pour back in to their families and students. I can't recommend our school more. It will be very sad the day my kids graduate out to kindergarten.

  • My son went here for prek 4 this past year. I can't say enough good things about the school, management, teachers and staff. My kid started off as a wild and unruly little 3 yo and now he is a well behaved , well adjusted and very prepared kid who just started at Kindergarten at Kemp Elementary. The Godley family and their team really are invested in the growth and education of all the kids. We live in Powder Springs but it was worth driving to Kennasaw for this type of dedication.

  • Mt.Elizabeth is absolutely phenomenal!! I had the great pleasure of working at Mt. Elizabeth as an assistant teacher. Rob and Ann from the beginning welcomed me like I was family and treated me with the utmost respect and kindness. You can tell they truly care about their staff, the kids, and their families. I loved working with all of the staff at Mt. Elizabeth and can only see good things in the future for this school. I'm praying for the continued success and highly recommend this academy to any parent in need of childcare; it's honestly one of the best around.
