PROUD TO BE QUALITY RATED!

Quality Rated is Georgia's official rating system for early learning programs, awarded by the Department of Early Care and Learning after an on-site review of our classrooms, curriculum and teaching staff. It is voluntary, which means we chose to be measured, and it is your assurance that the care your child receives here has been verified by the state, not just promised by us!

Storytime Chess!


At My First Years Preschool®, we’re excited to offer the Storytime Chess Program— an imaginative and effective way to introduce children as young as three to the game of chess through storytelling and play. Designed by early childhood experts, this program helps build critical thinking, problem-solving, and social-emotional skills in a fun, age-appropriate way.

Our Commitment To Safety

Here at My First Years Preschool, we take the safety of every child seriously. We’ve implemented protective measures throughout our center to ensure a clean, secure, and welcoming environment.

Cleanliness Protocols

We use child-safe, disinfectants daily and follow rigorous handwashing and hygiene practices to reduce the spread of germs.

Security

Access to our building is secured via keypad entry, followed by classroom access via a unique code for each parent. Only authorized personnel and registered parents are allowed on campus. Cameras operate in every classroom and we are committed to each child’s safety every day they walk through our doors.

Transparency

We understand that peace of mind is everything. Through the Procare™️App, we will keep in daily communication with you about your child’s progress, and upcoming notices, and you’ll be able to see what they’re learning – no matter where you are!
