Absolutely love the team at IPA! We've been with them for almost 6 months now, and have nothing but good things to say. Everyone is always very communicative and professional. Every morning for drop off, our son can't get out of my arms fast enough to go play with everyone. The other parents are also super friendly, which makes drop off and pick-ups nice. Thanks yall!
Olivia RossiMay 29, 2026My baby girl absolutely loves International Preparatory Academy. When I went to pick her up, she told me she wanted to stay longer, which says a lot about how comfortable and happy she feels there. The staff creates a warm, welcoming environment that makes children excited to learn and be part of the school day. It gives me peace of mind knowing she enjoys being there and feels supported. I’m grateful for a school that makes my child so eager to return each day. 😊
Rose JuliusFeb 26, 2026Transferred my twin 4 year olds from another pre-k and they love it here! They enjoy the educators as well as their peers. It really feels like a family vibe here. Lots of fun activities and they are learning so much! ❤️ this place!
Brianna BlueNov 25, 2025My children have gone here for 3 years and I love it. The staff is kind, caring, and really have our children’s best interests. Thank you Ms. Nicole and staff! Shoutout to Ms. Sharper, Giovanni loves you and so do I!
Miranda GayOct 31, 2025This is the best daycare. I love the structure the communication and my grand daughter loves this school. 5star for me
Charlita NunnOct 31, 2025My daughter is now 9, but she first attended this daycare back when it was Atlanta Preparatory on Candler rd. I myself loved the teacher’s and Ms. Mundy. By the time a new manager came in, I wasn’t close with her, but the communication was pretty good. Say what you want, but for someone like myself that was a young single mom with her first child, this daycare came through so much for us. I remember times when I didn’t have money for my daughter transportation fee, and Ms. Nicole still sent the transportation van to pick up my daughter. I also remember when I used to work 12 hr shifts, and they would pick up my daughter early just so I can make it to work on time. Anything that was going on personal in my life, Ms. Nicole would call and check on us. It’s been years since my daughter attended International prep, but I do appreciate all of the support. It never went unnoticed.❤️

Questions parents ask about International Preparatory Academy
Is International Preparatory Academy a licensed child care provider in Georgia?
- International Preparatory Academy holds Georgia record CCLC-53686, listed as "Open" by Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning in Dekalb County. Confirm current standing on the state's provider search at families.decal.ga.gov before enrolling.
What is International Preparatory Academy's Quality Rated star rating in Georgia?
- Georgia rates International Preparatory Academy 2 stars, on a scale of one to three where three is highest. Quality Rated measures programme standards the state assesses, not inspection outcomes, and it is separate from the licence itself.
Does International Preparatory Academy offer Georgia's Pre-K?
- Yes. The state record lists International Preparatory Academy as taking part in Georgia's Pre-K Program, Georgia's lottery-funded programme for four-year-olds. Places are limited and enrolment runs on the state's own calendar, so ask the provider how to apply.
Does this page show inspection results for International Preparatory Academy?
- No. Georgia publishes inspection and complaint history for each provider by fiscal year, and none of it is included here, so nothing on this page reflects International Preparatory Academy's inspection record either way. Look the provider up on the state's provider search at families.decal.ga.gov and read its visit history.
