My son started Premier Early Learning Academy in September coming from a different daycare center. Previously he would cry every morning when getting ready to go to school. Now each day he looks forward to going to class. I was worried about changing his school due to some developmental delays but the teachers have been so patient and kind. Ms. Jackie offered to help us get resources through the school district. For his first week Ms. Jackie would go check on him to make sure that he was adjusting well which made this change seamless for me. I wish I would have moved him much sooner.

My son has been going to Premier since he was 6 weeks old and he is now in the 3 year old classroom. The teachers care for the kiddos like their own. My son is an energetic little boy and if he does something wrong, the teachers appropriately redirect him. He is learning how to regulate his emotions and much more and I feel like the teachers and staff are the reason why he is doing so well. When my 3 year old son runs up to the director and other teachers to give them a hug, I know he loves them like family and they care for him.
I am also a teacher at Premier and I look forward to coming to work every day. If you have a staff member that still looks forward to coming to work after being there 3 plus years, then it's a good school. When your staff is happy then the student are happy. No daycare is perfect but this one is close.

PELA is great and exceeded my expectations!! We were new to the area & state and were in need of a preschool facility for my son who at the time was 2 yrs old. From the time we came to tour the facility Ms. Sharon (Assistant Director) & Ms. Cindy made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. Ms. Jackie (Director) is amazing! I appreciate her open door policy & partnership. I was on edge initially when my son started due to some developmental delays he has. Ms. Jackie put me at ease letting me know that she is an advocate for all of the kids as if they were her own. All of the teachers/staff know my son by name and always greet him by name and a smile. He has had a few teachers and they all were caring and patience with him. We see the progress & strides that my son has made since attending PELA. We are happy we chose PELA!!
Thank You PELA Staff

This is the second year that my kids are a part of the Premier Learning Academy family. Thank you Miss Sharon and Miss Jacque for always keeping me in the loop of whatever is going on at the school. Also thank you for not being just a daycare, but also having activate like field trips, sparkles skating, etc., and the learning program for the afterschool program plus helping them with their homework and stuff. I appreciate everyone and Premier learning academy.
Angela Simmons
PELA is a great daycare. My kids love it here! It is always a loving, welcoming environment when you walk in. And I can tell they take great care of all the kids. My daughter comes home everyday, always excited to tell me new things her teachers have taught her.
Bethani Snakenberg
My son attended pre-K here and had a wonderful experience. The staff is caring and attentive. We still have a wonderful relationship with them even now that he has moved on to elementary school.
Briana England
My daughter has been going here for almost a year and not only do I love it, but so does she. They make us feel like family. She literally jumps out of my arms every morning and is excited to go play. From the infant room and now being in the 1’s, I have had no problems at all. Tracie, Sharon, Cindy, Jacqueline, & Olivia are all amazing & are always showing my daughter love. They truly care at this center & it is so reassuring!

Really, where to begin. The standard is set so high by Premier, I'm disappointed we didn't end up here sooner. Three children under 4, COVID exposed another centers management challenges, and after weeks of insistent care, we were forced to move on.
We've never regretted it, not even for a second. Erika's team is dedicated, professional, and their pride in the care/teaching/learning shows. Unlike other centers where employee turnover is a constant thing, this staff is filled with people who've been there for years.
Communication is excellent, our kids are well looked after and learn new things every day. COVID protocols are handled professionally and MOST IMPORTANTLY consistently. They're doing their part to help control the spread, which still being able to small groups of learning. I can't get my three year old to go to bed, but they can get her to wear a mask. It's amazing.
My only regret is that we didn't come here when the first child was born. I recommend Premier without question or hesitation.
John Eng
This is a great school for pre-K. My son, who is 4, couldn't speak much English as he was living overseas. Just after 5 months, his English had improved to a great level. He loved to go every day. His teachers were smart, excellent with children and very caring. The staff is always friendly and helpful and concerned about the kids.
I would highly recommend this school.
The Smith Family
We love Premier Early Learning Academy! The staff is so genuine and loving towards not only the children, but the parents too. My daughter is in Ms. Jackie and Ms. Vanessa’s pre-K class and every day she comes home telling us all the new things she learned. She has been in class for 3 months (since school started in August) and has learned to speak Spanish (numbers, greetings, days of the week), she has learned to independently write her first and last name and numbers 0-10, as well as sounding out words to write on her own. We are so thankful for the family atmosphere at the facility. We drop our daughter off every day knowing she is in good hands with no worries throughout the day!
Liz Tolbert
Absolutely love this place! I was so worried about putting my son in daycare because he was only 6 weeks old, but I had to go back to work ( only because we haven’t won the lottery yet 🙄😂). I toured a few places feeling completely dishearten.
Premier was my last visit for the day and thank the lord because as soon as I walked in, Mrs Cindy was there and politely greeted me. I felt that warm welcoming feeling and a weight lifted off my chest. I had so many questions and she answered all of them in a way that was genuine. She didn’t make me feel like I was annoying or taking up too much time. She showed me around the whole place and introduced me to who would be taking care of my little one. I was able to ask the teacher that would be taking care of my son all the questions I wanted as well. My son is now 7 months old and he is doing amazing. He smiles so big when he sees his Mrs. Brittany. He just loves her!! Mrs. Brittany cares for the little babies like they are her own. She even took my little spoiled butt baby with her while she went on her lunch break in another room because he was teething and being a little fussy.
They send you photos of your little one from time to time through an app that the teachers use to communicate everything they do with your child. I LOVE this because you know everything like to how many times they change his diaper with daytimes and exactly what was in the diaper( number 1 or number 2), when they fed baby, with times and amounts, etc. They are so awesome with communicating everything that’s going on with your child!! Also, anything that you might be working on with your baby at home, they will implement those things while they are there too if you let them know. I could go on and on about all of the amazing little things. Good luck to whatever place you choose. I can promise you won’t find another group of people more caring or kind than you will at Premier.
Tre Howard
From the first time i spoke to the owner at Premier i was compelled to join this school. I know every day when my daughter is there that she is being loved and cared for. The teachers really care for the children in their class it shows as soon as you enter the room. Every day you are greeted with care and compassion. The owner goes above and beyond every day and really puts her heart into her school. We will continue to be apart of the Premier Family for years to come. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my daughter.
Angie McMichen
My daughter has been going here since August and is in the 4 year old Pre-k program. She and I both love this place! The staff is amazing and her teachers are phenomenal. I have to take advantage of their before care and after care bring the working Mom that I am and I couldn’t ask for a better program for my child to be part of. The things she has learned while at this school blows my mind. I am constantly reminding myself she is only 4. Her teachers challenge her (but don’t push her beyond what she is capable of) and help her learn the way she learns best. The teachers also know how to redirect a not so excited 4 year old on a Monday morning too. We love this school so much that I am going to use their before care and after care even though she will be in Kindergarten
Syretta Scherer
Premier Early Learning Academy has been a wonderful place for my children. The teachers are first and foremost, the mainstay of this excellent preschool. They create a warm and caring environment where children learn academics, social skills and have fun each and every day. The curriculum for each age group allows for children to progress in learning and ultimately prepares them for Kindergarten. My two year old has made some dear friends, adores his teachers and proudly shares with us what he learns every day. My older daughter's current Kindergarten teacher always give positive feedback on her preparedness for kindergarten, and we truly attribute this to Premier's Pre-K program. Over the years we have met new family friends and enjoy Premier's family-oriented social events. I consider Premier Early Learning Academy to be an extension of my home environment and feel comfortable knowing that my children receive the best care everyday!
Tracie Cooper
I love this center. My son has been here for almost two years and we love it. The teachers and staff are amazing. I would recommend this center to everyone!
Kimberly Pitts
My son has utilized his child care facility since he was 6 weeks old. He graduated from Pre-K there 2024 and since starting Kindergarden he has thrived because they ensured that he has all the tools needed to be successful. I can not express my graditude enough for Mrs. Jacqueline as whenever I called with a question and/or concern she was readily available to assist me. All the staff had an encounter with my child and it was nothing short of amazing. I know everyone have their own opinon and no one is perfect but I believe that Jesus put us where we belonged and I can't thank them enough for everything that they have done for us. Mrs. Shannon at the billing office is also super nice when I had to call her and would go beyond the call of duty to ensure all my questions was answered. The owner is so nice also very in-tuned with all her "babies" and their needs.

We found PELA during an online search. I was looking for a PreK program to transfer my daughter to that was closer to home. First, they gave my daughter a seat in the class right away. Although the transition for my daughter was tough they welcomed her every day with bigs smiles. They were constantly making improvements to the facility throughout the year as well. The kitchen staff is friendly and cooks very well. There was turnover with the lead teacher and I feel it was for the best. I could see more excitement with my daughter about what she was learning this spring. They executed a wonderful pre-k graduation ceremony for the kids. Most child care centers have higher turnover ratios than other professional industries because the salaries aren’t as competitive as they should be but there is something to be said about the longterm staff there. It seems people really enjoy what they do and enjoy working at PELA.
Regina King
They are great with my kids. Awesome staff.
Jasira Henry
I would recommend this daycare to any new parents. The staff is caring and the children are lovely.
Santana Boston
Since my daughter Alayah been tending this day care. She has learned alot from washing her hands, singung the ABC song, sitting in group and etc….im so proud of her and I thank the teachers for teaching her.. she love it there
Genesis Towles
If you want your child to be treated like family and not just another number, then this is the place to bring them. Special shout out to Ms. Jackie, Ms. Cindy, Ms. Tracie, Ms. Sharon, Ms. Kaleigh, Ms. Christina, Ms. W, and Ms. Yonna. All of the staff are wonderful, these are just the specific people that I interact with regularly and have made the biggest impact on my 3 kids (ages 3,6, and 8). I've experienced pretty much all the programs here and your child is actually being taught not just watched. My kids hate for me to pick them up early because they are enjoying themselves. Any questions or concerns I may have had were answered and addressed ASAP. It's hard to find good care for your kids and us as parents always worry that our children won't be treated fairly. I've never experienced anything like that at Premier. It feels like I'm dropping my children off at their auntie house now.
Mandi Dean
Great place! From the beginning the staff and directors really showed care and concern for my children in ways that I couldn't have imagined. Every teacher I have encountered (even outside of their classes)has been very kind and seem to actually like what they do.I leave them there feeling comfortable knowing they are safe and cared for!
Claren H.
The staff is kind and supportive to my family. From the director to each of the excellent teachers. My children love the staff and tell me all the time they can’t wait to go back to school. My two little ones have really flourished since starting there during COVID. They are very good at making so many things work for my kids. The facility is always neat and clean.
Aaron and Amanda Billings
We couldn't be happier with this pre-k and its teachers and staff! This school was highly recommended to me by a friend and it turned out to be the answer to a prayer. Our 5-year-old is thriving here. Her teacher Ms. Jackie (who has over 30 years' experience), and assistant Ms. Vanessa are simply wonderful. They are truly dedicated and care deeply about all the kids. I really feel their personal interest in my daughter and I appreciate how patiently they work with her, as she is showing some early signs of ADHD. I'm blown away by how much my daughter is learning -- she's making rapid progress in writing, spelling, and early reading and math. She's so excited to be learning so much and so are we. I'm also impressed by the structure and discipline of Ms. Jackie's class which is exactly what my child needed. And I am deeply appreciative of their respect for our religious beliefs -- we don't celebrate holidays or birthdays and the teachers and staff have been so respectful and accommodating which I couldn't be more thankful for. Ms. Sharon, who is a friend outside of school, especially keeps an eye out for my daughter during the day which puts my heart at ease. And while we aren't in Ms. Azar and Ms. Tracy's class, they are also simply excellent and I enjoy chatting with them before and after school. The staff is also wonderful. Ms. Linda, Ms. Sharon and Ms. Cindy are all so professional, friendly and warm and you can clearly see how much they love all the children in their school. All the teachers and staff know my entire family by name, including my youngest daughter who will definitely be attending this school next year. My kids love everyone here and so do we. I want to thank Ms. Erica the owner, Ms. Jackie and Ms. Vanessa, and everyone at this pre-k for their hard work and dedication and I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend this school to anyone to wants to feel confident that their children are safe, thriving, and learning well. I only hope kindergarten will be as much of a success!
Kelsey S
Bringing my children to this facility has been the greatest blessing!! My kids have THRIVED in this environment and the staff is so AMAZING ❤️ They genuinely care about each and every child that comes through the doors and I couldn't be happier with the care my children receive while in their care!! I highly recommend this center!
Susie Grant
Love Ms. Jackie and the entire staff. Always very friendly and willing to take time out of their day to answer any question you have. Wonderful place !!
Candice Estes
My son is 3 years old and has been attending PELA for almost a year now and absolutely loves his teachers. He is so happy to go to school everyday and has really thrived since we moved to this center.
The staff (including myself) work very hard to provide the best care possible for children of all ages attending PELA including Management who go out of their way to make sure we have every thing we need to succeed daily. I love working for PELA and I love the children in my class as if they are my own.
Jimitria Burks
I highly recommend Premier Early Learning Academy!!!!
We moved to Dallas about a month ago and needed to find a daycare for our 2 1/2 yr. old daughter to go. Premier Early Learning Academy (PELA) had and continues to have wonderful customer service from the beginning and have been really great with our little girl. She has transitioned to this new daycare seamlessly and I really think it's all because of how caring and wonderful everyone here is! I love the organization, consistency and how they treat the kids here! I'm happy we found PELA and look forward to having our daughter attend Pre-K here in a couple of years! 🙂
Sametria McRae
When my daughter turned 4 months I had to return to work and because my husband and I don't have a lot of family here in GA, we were forced to find childcare. We went to visit many daycares in the areas and the moment we stepped inside PELA I didn't need to look any further. I knew it was the right place for my baby. Her teachers are absolutely amazing, they genuinely care about my daughter and being that my husband and I are first time parents they have really given us peace of mind while we are at work.
Nicole Pickens
My babygirl just started recently in the infant room. MS Penny is so good with them and so very sweet. I searched for many daycares with no luck and just got a good gut feeling from this place. So far I have not been disappointed!
Nikki Douglass
My children have been going to premier for 4 years now and we love them! The staff truly care about the kids and love on them like their own. When my youngest was born, I didn't hesitate to send him to Premier when I had to go back to work. They take great care of the kids, they learn so much and my children ask to go back all the time, even though the older two are now in elementary school. When I have to send the older ones in the summer, they love the summer camp/activities they get to do and all the things geared towards their age level. We love Premier and highly recommend them.
Nikyia Billingsley Bell
Love the staff!!! Always friendly and approachable, my daughter loves going here.

Andrea Cunningham
My Experience While Working A MDD Was Enjoyable. MDD Feels Like Extended Family. All The Staff Is Warm And Welcoming , And Management Takes Care Of Their Employees. I Had Plenty Of Opportunities To Grow While Working At MDD. Teachers Genuinely Love What They Do There, The Families Receive That, And It Shows In The Children. Great Staff, And Great Management !
Falon Young
Best place for you little one my baby boy has been there since he was 6 weeks and as a helicopter mom 😂they keep me informed of everything and I come check on him and if anything happens they give me a call immediately love this place and his teachers …
Kinah Johnson
The staff is very friendly and caring when it comes to the families & students. I would highly recommend this provider !
Jeanie Daniel
My granddaughter goes to this school. She has learned so much. The peacefulness is worth it. The teachers and stuff are truly amazing. It's hard to find people you trust with your child. I know she is looked after and loved.
Kate Chastain
We LOVE Premier Early Learning Academy!!!!! From the first day when I dropped off my 3 month old, I knew he was in good hands. The entire staff truly treats every child and parent like family. Everyone is so kind and Ms. Karen the infant teacher is AMAZING!!!! My son (now 10 months) leaps out of my arms each morning for his teacher. She truly loves all her babies! I know every day that my child is being well cared for and loved. I am so lucky that as a first time mom, our first daycare (and most likely ONLY one we will ever use in all the years to come) has been so wonderful. Ms. Jackie, Ms. Sharon and the whole PELA team are just so wonderful and you can tell everyone enjoys what they do and the children in their care thrive.
Tawny Nguyen
This school is amazing. Mrs. Sharon who is the director is so nice and knows all the kids by their names. My son Logan is doing Pre-K here and Ms. Jackie is his teacher. He has been going here since moving him from another school. It’s been maybe a month and what he has learned has blown us away. He’s learned more within the month than he did at the other school for the 2+ months he was there. My daughter attended their Pre-K and had Ms. Azar and they had a special relationship. This school really is great. We walked in after withdrawing him from the other terror of a school and they welcomed him with love. He is so happy but most importantly he is learning so much. He comes home excited about what he’s learned and is learning. If you’re looking for a school, don’t look any further. This place is FANTASTIC! You’re child will be loved, appreciated and will LEARN!!!
Keshia Nickens
The teachers and staff really care about the children at this facility. My children love going to school here. One of the best learning centers in the area.
T Lee
Once Covid happened we removed our son from the last facility he attended I had an conversation with the new director at that facility as to how they will be going about their procedures and she pretty much told me they are going to wait until someone contracts it at the daycare and move from there mind you my son has got hands foot and mouth disease twice at that facility he would always come home dirty the facility itself just was not as sanitary made me feel uncomfortable knowing that kids will be kids and the fact he’s been sick a few times there and the way staff would move around definitely made an impact on the facility this is when he moved up to the 2year old room the staff that had him when he was going on one and still an infant was awesome but unfortunately they moved on to bigger endeavors so my son out of daycare 6 months due to the ongoing crisis ..... But I came across this facility doing research and the reviews definitely influenced my decision even more plus the radius was much the staff here makes you feel comfortable when dropping your kids off and more so my son he pretty much would jump out the car door if he could in the mornings when I drop him off just to go inside how I can tell he loves being in the atmosphere they provide which makes me feel comfortable definitely good energy here and the staff is awesome they make sure they keep an safe environment for your children and this facility gives me a family oriented feeling which is also a plus as well I plan to keep my son here so he can continue to grow and expand his mind and I forgot to mention which really stood out to me is the curriculum they provide for your child is amazing my son isn’t as fluent with his speech at the moment but they referred us to speech therapy which is free before your child turns 3 all in all definitely appreciate this facility!
Henrietta Williams
Premier Early Learning Academy has been a God-send for my little boy. Dropping my son off in the morning is like taking him home. The teachers are caring, kind and patient. The owner and administrators are responsive and really go the extra mile to make parents feel secure in having their children at their school. My son is currently in the GA Pre-K program at Premier and is doing very well! His teachers, Ms.Azar and Ms. Tracie, are providing a great learning foundation. They even take time to send completed work home and provide homework when needed! I know my son and other children will continue to learn in a loving environment and be prepared for Kindergarten!!
Lisa Willingham
Our little princess started here at 8 weeks old. Mrs. Sharon, who gave us the tour, truly sold us on going here. We felt like our child would be treated as one of their own and she has been. All of the teachers that are there first thing in the morning just love her and she loves them. Big smiles every morning when i drop her off. All of the staff is very personable, loving and nurturing. We couldn't be more please with picking PELA!!
Reannon Hay
Everyone at the facility is caring and compassionate. My daughter has learned so much in a very short period of time. I am truly impressed by the facility and Pre-K program. I would make the same choice if I had to choose again. The staff is beyond amazing!
Mckenna Shead
I highly recommend this school. The staff and teachers are amazing. All friendly and helpful . My son loves going to school here. If you want an awesome education for your child look no further .
Sharon Harris
I have owned a daycare in the past and my children was born in daycare life....When I visited Premier Early Learning Academy i was moved by the compassion, Love and nurturing of the Director/Owner and the Teachers. I have 20 years plus in Childcare and with the proper nurturing and solid learning environment children can grow to meet all their developmental milestones on the school readiness pathway. One little girl I know who was fascinated by grinding and moving gadgets, went through life with this love and later became the first female Roger Pensky Award winner who works Diesel Technician for Ryder. Helping children to meet their milestone is notice by the progress that the infant through Pre-K classes make. Mrs. Erica and I have the same motivation and philosophy
and love to nurture children. I got into Childcare to act and take care of children like their parents, would while away. I have now joined Premier and work with Mrs. Erica...please come join our family, we will Nurture, Love, Teach and take care of your children.
Jasmine Searles
This center is amazing! The staff is professional and genuinely cares about the children. I would recommend this center.
LTSmurf74 Taft
Great people, great facility!! My son has been going to this location for almost five years (PELA took over in early 2017). The changes that they have made since taking over have been incredible. The staff truly cares about the children as well as the parents. I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a quality daycare/summer camp.
Heather Cooper
My son Christian has been attending the private prek and after school care for a few months and I have to say the staff has made a HUGE impact on our lives. The owner/director Mrs. Erica, the assistant director, his amazing teacher Ms. Sharon, and the nutritional specialist are professional, educated, helpful, respectful, loving, caring and kind!
My son has learned so much since he has attended Premier learning acadamy and his confidence level has skyrocketed! They make me feel welcomed and greet me by name everytime we come in, my son said he feels special, safe and loves his school.
I walked in, in the middle of Ms. Sharon teaching and was HIGHLY impressed with her students knowledge and her teaching techniques! The owner and assistant director are high quality people and professionals. I am grateful and VERY pleased with this outstanding daycare/ private prek.
Their prices are more then fair... Take advantage of it now because the quality of service and care they provide our children is worth a lot more then what they charge.
Nicole Durham
Everything about this center reads exceptional. Exceptional facility, exceptional teachers and staff, and exceptional learning environment. Truly appreciate the loving staff and it gives me comfort knowing that my child is provided the best education at PELA.
Shabrina Payne
I love this center. The children are happy and the staff is amazing! I would recommend!
