Grayson Academy

My daughter has attended Grayson academy for 5years and I can’t think of a better place. The staff is friendly and take care of your needs right away. Some of the perks beyond the teaching and attentiveness are the hours and security. Key card entry, can see into every classroom and live view cameras gave me peace of mind. In this crazy world knowing your child is safe helps tremendously. My child is vegan and staff worked together to make sure she was never left out during special occasions. Communication was top tier, education is prioritized, and it was overall a great experience. Thank you Grayson Academy

Extremely clean facility, and everyone is so welcoming—especially Miss Kenya! I called early one morning looking for daycare for my baby, and she answered the phone. She was so polite, provided all the information I needed, and invited me to come in for a tour. From that very first conversation until now, she has remained just as warm and welcoming every single time I walk through the doors. My baby has been attending for a while now. In the beginning, he cried a lot (as most babies do when starting somewhere new), but now he’s the happiest baby when it’s time to go to school. He gets excited to say goodbye when we arrive! That alone speaks volumes. His teachers are all wonderful—not just the ones in his classroom, but every teacher we’ve encountered. They’re always kind, friendly, and welcoming. I’ve even walked in and seen his teachers giving him hugs, which truly means so much to me as a parent. If you’re looking for a clean, safe, and loving environment for your child, I would absolutely recommend this place. I truly appreciate everything they’ve done for my family.

⸻ I am in absolute awe of Grayson Academy! After Legacy Academy Snellville suddenly closed following three wonderful years there for my boys, we were very hesitant about finding another daycare. However, that hesitation immediately disappeared after speaking on the phone with Ms. Syterra and completing our walkthrough with Ms. Kenya. My boys were enrolled right away, and transportation was quickly arranged. The entire process was smooth, organized, and handled with such genuine care by the staff. These first few weeks have been amazing. When I pick my boys up, they don’t want to leave — and as a mom, that is truly the best feeling. Thank you to Grayson Academy and the entire staff for making parents feel comfortable entrusting you with their children and for giving the kids such a wonderful experience! 😊

There are not enough stars in the world that I can give to this school. Grayson Academy has TRULY been a God-send. The people here are one of the very FEW people that I can trust with my child. My daughter was at a different school already [and had been for the past year and a half] when we toured this school. When I came, the person who gave us the tour was Ms. Syterra [who was so sweet, answered all of my bajillion questions, and gave me such peace]. I was very quickly impressed with what I saw, the level of organization, and what stood out the most was just how clean everything was [and I came in the middle of aftercare which is usually a very messy/chaotic time for most schools]. The menu options were very impressive! Food options listed were foods that I would eat myself, and they serve breakfast, lunch, and snack. I also love that they have cameras; definitely great for extra piece of mind [we only have one child so we’re very over-protective of her and all that goes on with her]! My daughter was in the Advanced Pre-K program which you had to be tested for. The advanced Pre-K teacher, Mrs. Della Dickerson has the heart of gold!!! That woman truly has a gift! She is such a blessing to all of the children and their parents and is such an asset to Grayson Academy. My daughter came into the school knowing only how to write her name and she left writing paragraphs. The curriculum in the advanced Pre-K class is unbelievable and with all that Mrs. Della instilled in our daughter, she was able to skip Kindergarten all together. And it’s not just academics, the children learned life lessons, how to properly conduct themselves, proper hygiene habits, interpersonal skills and so much more. The level of quality education far surpassed anything that I could have every fathomed. Imagine your 4/5-year-old reading complete books on their own, writing paragraphs, conducting science experiments, creating AND presenting their own class projects, doing math, telling time, spelling sight words, exploring nature, going on enriching field trips, and so much more [and at an affordable price, might I add]. Mrs. Della went above and beyond in every single aspect and it showed in every single one of the children. Never have I met a teacher so invested in the success of their students. We all became one big community, the children and the parents that supported Mrs. Della every step of the way helped to ensure that this was a COLLABORATIVE effort in ensuring our children’s achievement. This has been the best school year yet! Everyone here played a pivotal role in our child’s success. Special shout outs to Ms. Jennifer for the lovely meals that she provided daily to the children, Mr. Melvin for always transporting the children safely to and from their field trips, Ms. Takisha, Ms. Farah, and Mrs. Marin for making aftercare such a delight for all of the children. Ms. Syterra for always being the smiling face at the front desk in the morning, Ms. Tashida for being the owner of this amazing facility, and last but certainly not least , to Mrs. Della Dickerson for being the absolute best teacher in the whole wide world and for being an outstanding role model to all of the students. I am PRIVILEGED to have been a parent of a Grayson Academy graduate [BLACK-owned AND veteran-owned, might I add], They have set the bar VERY high for our daughter’s next school. P.S. if you’re thinking about summer camp here, I also HIGHLY recommend! You’re not going to find anywhere else that takes the children on as many field trips and does as much fun and enriching activities with them like Grayson Academy did ESPECIALLY at the price point that they’re charging [which was VERY reasonable]! My daughter loved every minute of it! I pray that whoever reads this review finds this school to be as much of a blessing, if not more, than I did. I will definitely be by with my daughter again to visit and say “hi” to everyone. I hope to be back again for summer camp next year!

My daughter has attended this academy for three and half years. I was on the waiting list for 6 months and I knew once I saw this place this is where I wanted her to go. I would be naive to believe every school, daycare, center, etc. will be perfect but what Grayson is, they continue to strive for the highest and maintain to be Great. They communicate well, help out the community and work well with the parents. I have sent several parents here and they approve thus far. My daughter enjoys coming to her (small school) before and after her (big school) as she calls it. They held it down during the pandemic and know how to work around situations. The G in Grayson stands for Greatness... and my child has become that being here.
