Cedars Preschool at McDonough

Cedars is always incredibly accommodating. In today’s economy, it’s hard to find people, let alone companies, that are willing to work with people’s specific issues. Additionally, every parent knows how unnerving it is to give a newborn away to a stranger. Let me be the first to reassure anyone on the fence. They take very good care of my 9 month old. And, they seem to genuinely care about her wellbeing and milestones. Thank you Ms. Kaylee, Tanisha, and Morgan! Y'all are the best.

We absolutely love our child’s school! The teachers and staff are incredibly attentive, caring, and truly go above and beyond to make every child feel safe, loved, and supported. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our child is in such nurturing hands each day. The communication is wonderful, and it’s clear that the staff genuinely care about each child’s growth and development. We have seen so much progress not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. The learning activities are engaging, creative, and age-appropriate, and our child comes home excited to share what they learned. The school creates such a warm, welcoming environment for both children and families. We are so grateful to be part of a preschool community that feels like family!

They are not completely terrible and are very nice people. I enrolled my child after doing a long search because it was his first time in daycare. This location had a high recommendation from the McDonough Moms Facebook and had good Google reviews. I was told before enrolling that it was mandatory for teachers to send 3-4 picture updates everyday. This did not happen. I barely received pictures nor updates period. This was important to me as a first time mom enrolling her child in daycare. I brought the issue up and received updates after one day, but then I received no more updates after that. I personally believe that there’s just too many kids in one classroom. It was overstimulating for my child. The kids still attend school sick and the staff doesn’t inform parents (even though parents should keep sick kids home). My son also became ill with HFM disease from here. The food proportions were small with heavily processed/canned food. My son was always hungry and thirsty upon pickup after their small portions. The front desk staff could be a little more secure with who comes in and out of the building to pick kids up. I had to unenroll so he could attend something a little more fitting for our needs.

We feel so incredibly grateful for the amazing teachers (Ms. Anna and Ms. Aaniyah) at this preschool. From the very first day they have created a warm, nurturing, and safe environment where our daughter feels happy and excited to learn. Her teachers are patient, kind, and genuinely attentive to each child’s individual needs. We’ve seen such wonderful growth in her confidence, social skills, and love for learning. She comes home talking about the fun activities, friends, and the things she discovers each day. They put thought into the lessons planned and I always feel informed and supported as the parent. Thank you for the dedication and positive energy you each bring in your own way each day! It’s not easy being a teacher, but you making a difference in our daughter’s life …. We couldn’t ask for a better start to her education.

We absolutely love this school! Since our child started here, we have seen so much growth and improvement in so many ways. They have learned so much, become more confident, and continue to amaze us with how much they are developing each day. The best part is how excited and happy our child is to come to school every morning. They truly look forward to seeing their teachers and friends, and it means so much to us to know they feel so comfortable, loved, and cared for while they are there. Their teachers have made such a positive impact, and it is obvious how much our child loves them. One of their favorite parts of the day is getting a sticker before going home, and they always talk about it with the biggest smile. It’s those little thoughtful things that make this school so special. We are beyond grateful for such a caring and supportive preschool environment!
