M Kids are Prepared for First Grade.
Are Yours?

In addition to our flexible child care program, we have a formal preschool program that we are quite proud of.

The experiences a child has both at home and at school in the first 6 years of life set the foundation for all learning and thinking to come. This is the time each child’s self concept and concept of the world are set. What a child (and later as an adult) will attempt and whether or not s/he will succeed at it are profoundly influenced by this foundation. As a school, we help each child reach their fullest potential. We work together with parents to create a foundation of lifelong learning, love of self, and sense of community within each child.

The Preschool program provides a focus on:
+Fostering Independence
+Cooperation & Communication skills
+Social Skills
+Hands-on learning
+Literacy & number concept
+Classroom Readiness for First Grade

Why us?

We understand your child. We understand, neither because of our prestigious education, nor because of our numerous years of experience in teaching, tutoring, dancing and child care. The most valuable source of our knowledge is gained from parenting our own children and grandchildren.

We understand that our children have one intuitive aim: self development. He desperately wants to develop his resources, his ability to cope with a strange, complex world. He wants to do and see and learn for himself through his senses and not through the eyes of an adult. He becomes a full person. He is “educated.”

Growth and development

The home-like quality of our school contributes to a relaxed, focused experience for your child. Our indoor classroom activities are placed on open shelves for selection as interest and readiness inspires the child. Our outdoor environment offers a beautiful play area where nature is the backdrop.

Infants & Toddlers

This is much more than just child care. Using our curriculum for early education, infants and toddlers will start preparing for Preschool and explore key developmental milestones. Intentional planning and regular assessments enable teachers to create experiences based on what children are ready to learn.

INFANTS
Babies feel safe, secure, and happy in our Infant-Toddler room. Warm, caring teachers bond and develop trust with children. As your caregiver, we help you guide your child’s development.

In this program, children are provided with:
+Nurturing classroom environments
+Educational toys & stimulating activities
+Milestone-based curriculum
+Immersive learning experiences

TODDLERS
Energy and excitement are a natural part of growth and learning. We channel that energy into positive learning experiences, giving toddlers plenty of room to move and explore. We provide nurturing guidance as they develop physical skills and master emerging milestones.

In this program, children are provided with:
+Stimulating classroom environments
+Milestone-based curriculum
+Immersive learning experiences
+Educational toys and activities

Twos & Early Preschool

Curiosity, mobility, and exploration are rewarded in these active, engaging early childhood classroom environments, where children begin to develop the skills they need for later learning in Preschool and beyond. Intentional planning and regular assessments enable teachers to create experiences based on what children are ready to learn.

EARLY PRESCHOOL
The perfect stepping stone to Preschool, Early Preschool features our curriculum, which was specially designed for 30- to 42-month-old children. We help them build the routines and self-help skills that all independent learners need.

In this program, children will discover:
+Stimulating classroom environments
+Exclusive indicator-based curriculum
+Immersive learning experiences
+Opportunities to gain independence

TWOS
Most 2-year-olds are filled with energy and an innate curiosity about the world around them. They’re also quickly developing their sense of independence. We offer opportunities for them to explore this growing, individuality.

In this program, children are provided with:
+Stimulating, engaging environment
+Exclusive milestone-based curriculum
+Immersive learning experiences
+Variety of tactile learning materials

Pre-K

READY FOR KINDERGARTEN
To engage and nurture each child, we offer a balance of freedom and instruction. Our early education classroom is designed as an interactive learning community, where children build skills vital to success in kindergarten, gain respect for others, and develop a strong sense of confidence.

The Pre-K program is unique in that it provides a focus on:
+Problem-solving
+Responsive listening
+Using language to learn
+Social and collaborative skills

Preschool

In addition to our flexible child care program, we have a formal preschool program for kiddies, ages 3 – 5, to help them practice the learning and social skills they’ll need for a happy elementary education ahead.

We have comprehensive learning and play facilities and professionally designed curriculums, just as you would expect from a great preschool.

OUR CURRICULUM
We teach a curriculum that incorporates Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards (GELDS). GELDES are aligned to The Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS) used in Kindergarten and throughout Elementary School.

THE "M" ADVANTAGE

...Ashley is the sweetest most caring person. She sent me pictures while my son was there to put my mind at ease. She makes sure he’s fed, bathed and she kept on the same schedule I keep him on at home. She is that caretaker that will go above and beyond to make sure your kid is well. -Da’Shirelle Washington, M Parent Mother of One Year Old Boy
