Dear Prospective Family,

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Mt. Elizabeth Academy, where we place an emphasis on providing exceptional early childhood development and education in a loving and nurturing environment. Mt. Elizabeth Academy is a Quality Rated, family-owned Christian preschool, pre-k, private kindergarten, and daycare; founded and operated by master educators in Kennesaw, Georgia. We offer discovery-based learning activities, sensory manipulatives, and developmental centers that fully engage our students in learning and growth. In addition, we assess your child’s understanding and gently challenge them to continue through their next developmental phase, all in a fun and engaging play-based atmosphere.

In addition to being a mother of two, I spent the last 30 years professionally involved in early learning; as a teacher, a principal and a mentor to developing teachers. I have spoken at workshops around the world and I am an early learning professional. I pride myself on staying up-to-date on the newest research in early learning education and child development. While developing and delivering outstanding programs and curriculum are passions, most importantly I love children. I support our families and I cultivate a nurturing atmosphere of comfort and security.

Please make an appointment to come in for a tour. I look forward to showing you what a wonderful school and community we have.

Sincerely,
Ann Godley, B.A., M.Ed.

What The Parents Say

  • Mt.Elizabeth Academy has been nothing but wonderful for my daughter for the past several years! She has started Elementary school this year and is above the curriculum so far thanks to Mt.Elizabeth setting her up for success. The staff is lovely – they are always smiling and make you feel like family. I highly recommend Mt.Elizabeth to anyone looking for the perfect daycare/school for their children. There is nothing more special than knowing your child is safe and well taken care of while you are at work.

  • We absolutely love Mt. Elizabeth and so does our daughter! After touring multiple daycares, we knew right away that this was the right fit for our family. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel like part of the family, which gave us such peace of mind as first-time parents navigating this transition. One of the things that stands out most is how every staff member greets each child by name, creating an environment where every kid feels seen and cared for. It’s easy to see how comfortable the children are, and how much trust they place in their teachers. The teachers are not only kind and thoughtful, but they also genuinely care for our daughter! We are so grateful to have found Mt. Elizabeth. Knowing our daughter is in such a loving, nurturing, and engaging environment makes all the difference for our family.

  • My son is about a month and a half into Pre-K (Year 3) at Mt. Elizabeth Academy, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care and education he’s getting. One of the first things you notice right away is how every single staff member knows your child’s name and yours from the very first day. It’s such a small thing, but it makes you feel instantly welcome and part of the family. The leadership team is just incredible. The Godley’s, Ms. Samantha, Ms. Laura, Ms. Donna, and Ms. Cathie (who recently retired but deserves a big shoutout) truly go above and beyond for the families here. You can feel how much they care, and it gives you such peace of mind knowing your child is surrounded by people who genuinely love what they do. His teachers, Ms. TeTe, Ms. Shequila, and now Ms. Kisha have all been wonderful. They really get to know each child’s personality and learning style, and they find ways to bring out the best in them. I’m so thankful for the patience, love, and energy they pour into my son every single day. I can’t recommend Mt. Elizabeth Academy enough. The care is second to none, and for parents with busy work schedules, the year round 6:30am–6pm hours give you more flexibility than most. Plus, lunch and snacks are included in tuition, which makes things even easier. Truly, this school has been such a blessing!

  • So thankful to find this absolute gem of a program for our toddler. I have already seen the positive growth and development in my daughter. It’s a testament to the wonderful program and people, starting with her primary teacher Ms. Katherine! I’m almost jealous how much my daughter loves her lol

  • Our kids went through most of the classrooms at this school and here are both pros and cons. Pros: Loved the age based playgrounds! Depending on the teacher, your kids will learn bible stories, have organized classroom learning, and creative projects. Cons: Learning and bible teaching doesn’t seem to be consistent across the rooms. Ms. Krystal was great at letting parents know what kids were learning so you can guide conversations at home but didn’t see that in other rooms. Also, it is probably one of the priciest ones in the North Cobb area and has a lot of turnover of staff. Overall, your babies/transition toddlers will thrive here but there seems to be better preschool options around the area for PK2+.

  • I have nothing, but wonderful things to say about my experience at Mt. E. We were there for several years and experienced nothing, but dedication and understanding from everyone we came into contact with. From admin. to each teacher we experienced were amazing. There is such a sense of commitment and pride there. The teachers and staff are proud of their school. I have always sensed that. I couldn’t recommend this school to a parent, if I didn’t truly believe that this school helped improve me as a parent, as well as preparing my child for school!

  • Our son has only known in-home childcare since birth. The adjustment to a traditional daycare setting has been quick and easy thanks to the caring staff! Daily pictures help mom adjust too!

  • Mt. Elizabeth could not be more of a blessing! Our 16 month old was at home with a nanny until we decided our social butterfly needed to be with peers to truly thrive. In just the first few days, she was talking more. Also she is eating so many varieties of food! She actively wants to go to school and to her classroom / teacher. We could not be more thrilled with the wonderful family at Mt. Elizabeth’s!!
