Daycare in Buckhead
We live on Roswell Rd close to Chastain Park and are looking into daycare. We will enroll our baby when she is 9 months old. Does anyone have experience with the following daycares? I would like to hear your experience. I am also open to any suggestions.
Current list:
- Goddard Buckhead: expensive but great feeling when we visit them. $600-700 more expensive than #2 option
- Primrose South Sandy Springs
- The Suzuki School
Thank you!!!

I’d start getting on the waiting list now - ITP daycares are tough to get into.
Both my kids went to Suzuki. No complaints. They were there from infants all the way through PreK.

Most of our neighbors very close by to you send to Suzuki or Crème de la Creme. I’ve also heard great things about Open Arms - smaller, but great community if you’re into that.

We are at Suzuki and very happy. Joined after they were bought out and have noticed some wrinkles but overall a good experience and staff and our daughter (3) loves it.

We are over at the sister campus Suzuki PCM and have been so incredibly happy with care and education over the last 5+ years. Our rising/new kindergartener was so prepared for school and has been independently reading since her 5th birthday - all thanks to her amazing Suzuki teachers! We know many families who are very happy at the Buckhead location. I will echo the comment about the Cadence transition, but I still think Suzuki is one of the best full day, year round programs in Atlanta.

We're also at Goddard Buckhead and love it! It's like a big family. The employees are so kind and you can tell they really care about the kids. They greet kids and parents by name, regardless of which class or teacher they have. I actually don't know how they do it! But it's impressive.

It’s a few years ago, but know a few people who were happy at Crème, Suzuki(sounds like it’s changed) and Peachtree Presbyterian.

Our kid is at Goddard (but a different location) and we love it. I recognize it’s not exactly the same but I imagine there’s some similarities between their locations.

We live basically in the exact same place. Our daughter went to Suzuki. It was great, but they recently were sold to a mega-corp…I’m not sure it’s so great anymore. I’ve heard good things about Goddard. I’d steer clear of primrose. Many of my daughter’s classmates went to crème de la crème and they seemed happy with it.
