  • CANNOT RECOMMEND MT. ELIZABETH ENOUGH We started our son at Mt. Elizabeth almost a year ago in toddler 1 and I cannot be happier with our choice to do so. Every member of the staff is attentive, patient and kind with our son (as I know they are with all the students). The facility is clean, the lunch is healthy, they lay out a daily schedule so we know exactly what his day looks like, and they really do teach him so much. I'm not sure what we would do without Mt. Elizabeth or how we ever lived without them. They give us so much peace of mind, and they give our son a home away from home. A special shout out to his primary teacher Ms. Molly, as much as we love her, our son loves her even more (:

  • I’ve had the pleasure of working at Mt. Elizabeth Academy for six months now. For the first time in ten years, I can honestly say that I look forward to coming to work everyday. Ann and Rob are two of the most genuine, caring, and respectful people for whom I have worked. Their extended background in education and love of children shines throughout the school. Many a time I’ve seen Ann in the classroom, on the floor, with children piled in her lap, while she reads to them and plays with them. They truly care about each and every child and their staff. They go above and beyond to make certain that every classroom is equipped with all the things a child and teacher could possibly need to foster fun learning and ensure safety. When I chose Mt. Elizabeth as my home away from home, I was not only choosing for myself, but for my son as well. His health and well-being comes first and I couldn’t imagine him being happier anywhere else.

  • As first time parents, it was very important to my husband and I that we found the best care possible for our child. Many hours of research and tours took place before Mt. Elizabeth and I was starting to feel like I had unrealistic expectations for childcare based on the outcomes of the other visits. After meeting with Ann and touring Mt. E I knew immediately they were the ones and my son has been attending the school since he was 8 months, this year he will be 3. He absolutely loves going to school and cries when it's time to leave! The teachers are warm and welcoming, they love him and he loves them. His learning and development has met and exceeded expectations and I absolutely love the fact that the school uses Brightwheel so I can see pictures and get updates throughout the day. Rob and Ann, you are genuine, caring, good people and God has blessed your school, we wish you continued successes and longevity! I could go on in this review but then it would become a small book. A big thank you to Ms. Cecile, Ms. Patricia, Ms.Terre, Ms. Dree, Ms. Shequila, and all of the other very talented and caring teachers at Mt.E that contribute their time and efforts to nurture and develop the young and impressionable minds of our precious children.

  • I absolutely love this school. I am an infant lead teacher who started when the school first opened its doors in July 2017. The owners are caring and supportive of their staff which makes Mt. E an amazing place for teachers to reach their full potential . It feels like we are a big family. We strive to be a school of excellence and consequently our standards are high. Safety and cleanliness are our #1 priorities. I would highly recommend this school for both families and teachers alike. Come and check it out for yourself: you won’t be disappointed!

  • Both of my children attended Mt. Elizabeth- my son from 18mo - 3.5 years and my daughter from 12 weeks - 18 months. The day we had to leave was the saddest - we moved out of state and I wish we could have moved everyone at Mt. Elizabeth with us!! My kids both thrived from the intimate class sizes and age appropriate curriculum. Every staff member knew and loved both of my kids. This facility takes childcare, education, cleanliness and security seriously!

  • We started our 8 week old baby at Mt. E and loved every second of her there. The Brightwheel app they use keeps you updated with pictures, diaper changes, and everything your child does throughout the day to keep your mind at ease. They taught our 1 year old sign language and provide Spanish classes to keep our daughter learning. The entire Mt. E staff takes care of our children as their own. HIGHLY RECOMMEND SEND YOUR KIDS HERE.

  • We transitioned to Georgia a little over a year ago and knew no one. We started our little one off at a daycare we felt suitable. After a few months we weren't happy with it and started researching online. We came across Mt. Elizabeth Academy and after reading all that it had to offer I was sold before we even visited. We called and were able to meet same evening. They facility is beautiful, the atmosphere is so positive and energetic. The academic environment is well suited for each childs level of learning. The owners are very serious about giving the best positive childcare and education available. They are truly amazing and are easily available for any question, concern or even just a genuine conversation for no specific reason. I only wish I had found them first and had more time for my little one to have benefited from their education and childcare since she's ready to start kindergarten in the fall. I have no doubt that she will attend before and after school there in the fall. Also all school breaks and summer childcare as I trust she is in good hands and very happy there!

  • 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.

  • I could not be happier that my husband and I decided to change daycares and start bringing our children to Mt. Elizabeth. In this crazy, uncertain time, it is so hard to know if we are making the right decisions for our children, but I am confident this was a great choice for our family. We can’t take our children many places these days to protect their health, so I am so happy they can socialize and participate in new and varied activities here. I am impressed with the precautions the school is taking to keep the kids and staff safe. I love how they communicate frequently through the Brightwheel app, including lots of pictures so I can see my children enjoying themselves and talk to them about their days when they get home. The teachers are so kind and loving with the kids and my older child practically runs into the school every morning. This school, the teachers and staff have been a blessing to our family, and I sincerely appreciate the care and education they provide!
