The Pre-K teachers here Ms Yamini K and Yamini M are amazing! They give every child such warm, attentive care and thoughtful about each kid’s little needs. At the same time, learning feels like pure play: songs, treasure hunts, science “parties,” and games that sneak in letters, numbers, and sharing skills. My child is happy, confident, and actually learning—couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend!

My daughter has been part of Carrington since 2022, starting when she was just 18 months old, and we could not be more grateful for the care and growth she has experienced over the years. She is now in Pre-K at the Majors Road location, and both Miss Yamini teachers have been absolutely wonderful.
Their patience, warmth, and dedication have played such a big role in my daughter’s learning and confidence. We truly feel supported as parents, and our daughter looks forward to school every single day.
Having experienced Carrington at two different locations, we have consistently seen her thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I could not ask for better teachers or a better environment for her early education.
Highly recommend Carrington to any family looking for a nurturing and structured place for their child to grow!

I am delighted to share our positive experience with the Georgia Pre-K program at Carrington Academy on Majors Road. Since our daughter began attending this year, we have witnessed tremendous improvements in her overall development and personality. She absolutely loves coming to school!
The faculty is exceptionally caring and supportive. We especially appreciate that the administration has designed a curriculum that genuinely fosters holistic growth and learning. Our daughter enthusiastically participates in both classroom activities and outdoor games, and she is learning new things every day.
The academy's commitment to education extends beyond the classroom, as they regularly organize valuable events such as knowledge-sharing sessions on oral hygiene and fire safety awareness, as well as engaging book fairs. Communication is timely and effective; we receive prompt notifications regarding all upcoming activities and any schedule changes. Furthermore, the school publishes a helpful monthly calendar and menu on their website, keeping us well-informed of daily special activities and the breakfast and lunch offerings.
We extend our special thanks to Principal Mrs. Rikki Whitcomb, who is a truly approachable and inspiring leader for the students. Our sincere gratitude also goes to the dedicated class teachers, Mrs. Yamini K and Mrs. Yamini M, for their hard work, constant motivation, and unwavering support. Thank you for creating such a wonderful learning environment! 😊

Are all wonderful!! Leaving your child with someone you dont know is very challenging and can be overwhelming but the 3 i mentioned above have reassured me during challenging time. Anytime I had a "issue" or concern i feel that I could communicate with them and we all was on the same page. I highly recommend them. No place is "perfect" but carrington academy is pretty close. People always want to talk about the negative things but never the positive. I do want to say. One thing i dont care for is Ga prek is "free" but still have to pay for food tuition. They need to offer options or programs for family who are having a tough time paying the food tuition. I know if you are on government assistance theres options but they need to have options for family who receive no government assistance. I appropriate the staff at carrington academy and hope we continue to have positive outcomes. My daughter has learned so much already and it makes me feel confident leaving her in their care. I highly recommend carrington academy to everyone.
