Piedmont Academy

The Academy is celebrating over 40 years of educating and developing children. We are Commissioned by the State of Georgia and specialize in Parent's Morning Out, Drop in Care, Preschool, and Kindergarten classes. Our staff attends training, including CPR, First Aid, and early childhood classes. The learning environment is facilitated by WEE Learn Curriculum and thematic teaching. As a unique environment that represents many nationalities, we are developing extraordinary children in a fun loving environment.

A child develops mentally, physically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to provide age-appropriate experiences to allow each child to progress in these areas at his/her own level of ability while enjoying feelings of success. The program provides hands-on activities in learning centers and positive Christian role modeling of the staff. Teachers will keep you informed about each unit designed for your child's class.
