Is it possible give 10 stars out of 5? When we first moved to Georgia, my daughter went to 3 different daycares. She got bit 3 times at the first one while no one did anything about it, absolutely hated the next one to the point that she cried when we took her to school, and the teacher was not attentive with the third one not even watching the kids every time we went to pick her up. We moved her to Seven Branches Academy and it was like a breath of fresh air; she could not be happier. She was actually excited to go to daycare not to mention there was a stark contrast in how much she was learning Seven Branches compared to the other three. She had Ms. Suzanna for a couple years and she is an absolute gem!

We absolutely LOVE Seven Branches Academy for our daughter! She started in the infant room when she was 12 weeks old, and I knew that she was loved and cared for every minute that I was not with her. Seven Branches has a wonderful Christian curriculum that starts in the infant classroom. Our daughter is now in the toddler classroom, and she is learning SO much everyday through a variety of multi-sensory experiences. Not only is she learning basic academic skills, but she is also developing a strong love for the Lord!

Seven Branches Academy was just the BEST experience for our infant when she started who turned into a toddler when we had to move and therefore unenroll her. As an educator myself, I did a TON of research, probably called and toured over 10 schools, and this one from the moment I walked in the door had the feel of home and not only that but if being a well-oiled machine with a structured, calm, genuine, and nurturing environment. The children were happy, compliant, and intelligent. There were no toddlers sitting in a pool of tears screaming in the corner unattended to, no teachers mindlessly on tablets while the kids tore up the classroom (like I had seen in other comparable facilities), and just all in all I believe God is blessing a service He called to be, and the evidence of fruit is everywhere.For much of the time our baby attended SBA- from 10 months old to nearly 2 - she disliked being in the care of just about everyone except for close family. At SBA, she would gleefully leap out of my arms and into the doors each morning, would bounce on my hip excitedly knowing she was about to be at school, and I knew it was because of the people loving on her but still disciplining and intervening when necessary. We loved, loved, loved her teachers, and Ms. Amy is beyond words amazing and wears so many hats. Professional of the century!! So positive, knowledgeable, and caring. One time during an early pickup a was I saw admin pull a kid out who was being disruptive in a preschool class and gave him time to cool down and talk through some of the reasons why he was making those choices, therefore improving the class environment momentarily and supporting teachers’ ability to classroom manage instructional time and/or nap time. That’s nurturing. That’s teaching the whole child. That’s also a great sign to me that admin is just as involved in the care as the teachers if they need to be. Just about everyone there knows all the kids by name, and that makes a difference and impressed me every day.The facility is beautiful and spotless- the owner also owns a professional cleaning company, so they have access to excellent sanitation resources and seem to employ precautionary procedures daily to minimize infection. They did temp checks daily. The classrooms are nice and big. The multiple playgrounds are very good quality. They also have an AWESOME gym / recreation area for alternatives to going outside when it rains. I don’t see this many places. Additionally, their meals are made in house and are healthy and well-rounded with no juice- only milk and water. Meals are included, which is so nice.To my knowledge, there were always at least 2 teachers in the classroom, and it blows my mind that so many other places think it’s okay to put one adult and 10 toddling babies needing diapers in a room at the same time with no assistance. The Procare app is great, and we would receive correct updates live as she ate, did bathroom, slept, played and did the activities. We would get pictures weekly, which really helped ease a new mama’s heart.And being faith-based, there were absolutely signs that the students were getting into the Bible daily, praying together, talking about Jesus, and reinforcing learning through age-appropriate projects. The day our baby started shouting out, “Amen!” when we read our school-issued Bible at night we about fell on the ground. She totally learned it at school and not from us. This is just one example amongst other incredible leaps and bounds in communication and physical abilities as she turned 1. She now prays with us nightly holding hands and everything... these may seem like little things, but I can’t tell you how much they mean to us. Having 2 working parents only spending like 2 hours with our child every weekday, there’s no way we can teach her all we want her to learn, and that’s why sending your child to SBA is most assuredly not just a haphazard daycare, but a home, school, and family in faith.They were such a blessing and a gift to us during the time when we needed them. Highest rec!!!

Been very happy to have my son at Seven Branches; their Academy is well rounded from the admin staff to the classroom teachers. They are responsive when we have questions and have navigated the challenging pandemic with wisdom and common sense.

The teachers in the infant room are so sweet and really care about our son. They made his first days in daycare an easy transition and keep us updated on how he is doing regularly. The director Joyce is so incredibly sweet and obviously really cares about all the families there. Facility is very nice and clean. I highly recommend this place!

If I could give our family at Seven Branches Academy a rating better than 5 stars I would.Before my kids started attending the school, I was struggling with the change of having my children in daycare. My husband and I toured many of the high-end daycare centers, and I really could not see my children at any of those centers. It wasnt until we walked into Seven Branches Academy, that we really felt at peace. The smell of their awesome food (they have a chef-in-house, plus a summer garden where they grow most of their vegetables and fruits!), the children all being happy and relaxed with their teachers, and the strong Christian curriculum were all signs that this was the place our children needed to be.Our childrens teachers (all of them, from Ms. Amy, Mrs. Susana, Mrs. Susan, Mrs. Melissa, Mrs. Diane, etc) are all wonderful examples of patience and kindness. Plus my children are constantly being challenged to learn so much, and now my oldest is ready to start kindergarten. I am forever grateful to this amazing school and to Mrs. Joyce for being a pillar of faith and strength. I highly recommend this school to all!

SEVEN BRANCHES IS WHERE YOU SHOULD SEND YOUR KIDS !!!Had I got 100 children, I would send them all to 7 Branches. We tried every other child care centers and nothing is anywhere close to 7 Branches.They make sure that my child arrives on time, or they call me to confirm. They provide a very safe and secure environment for my child.Their love for the kids is matchless.Every single staff is friendly and have the biggest smile on their faces at all times.The facility is so neat and clean. I see the staff wiping chairs and tables every evening without fail.The snacks they provide are of good quality.I think Joyce is not very keen on having too many kids- so the staff can focus on a limited number of children.They celebrate kids birthdays. They have free events every now and then.Very kind and friendly staff, extremely caring.If your child is not at 7 branches, they are really not in the best day care !

Seven Branches Academy has been a blessing for our family. I have one in Jr Toddlers who I am amazed with what he learns every day and one in the infant room who started recently. I must say the teachers in the infant room are amazing. They have made the transition to daycare so much easier. At Seven Branches you know your kid is important and you can feel that they are in good hands when you drop them off. Thank you for everything you do for our kids!!

Seven Branches Academy has truly been God sent for our family. Our child has been in daycares since about 4 months old and none of them can compare to SBA. From Mrs. Joyce and Amys smiling faces to the staffs eagerness to teach and LOVE our child has made this center feel like a home away from home.

Everyone wants to be a savvy investor. We seek the best advice from people we know about where to put our money to get the best dividends and watch our investments grow. Should it be any different with our children? Each of our grandchildren spent the first 8 to 18 months of their lives being cared for by my wife, their paternal grandmother, while their parents worked. She watched over them, fed them, played with them, and taught them many things. Handing them over to someone else to take over was going to be difficult. Our son and his wife found Seven Branches Christian Academy and invited us to meet the staff and see the school. We immediately felt at ease. That was several years ago with our first grandchild. With each successive grandchild the transition has been easier. We frequently come out for special events or to just pick them up to spend the night at Mimi and Pop Pops. Every time we visit, we can see how much more than a school it is. We watch through the classroom windows to see what theyre doing, and the children are all happy, engaged in activities, napping or playing. The center is neat, clean and safe. The staff treats the children with respect and love, and the administration greets us like family. As we leave and begin our journey home, the kids begin to sing Bible songs or share stories from the Bible about Abraham, Noah and others. We settle into our routine with the grandkids. All the way home the same verse running through my mind. Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The best investment advice I can offer.

My daughter has been coming to Seven Branches since she was 8 weeks old and we love it! Of all the day cares in the area that we toured, this one just felt right from the beginning. Ms. Joyce and the staff are amazing. Always great communication, and we are very happy with this clean, faith based, and loving environment for our little one.

My son attends Seven Branches. Me and my husband absolutely LOVE Joyce and the staff. From the moment I dropped him off at 8 weeks old, I felt peace knowing that he was in good hands with loving caregivers. The bond I have shared with the teachers and Joyce is something you dont find at other facilities. If you are looking for a wonderful, clean, Christian environment to place your children is, Seven Branches is it!

Absolutely abysmal communication!!! If I cant get you on the phone in general, how would I be able to get you on the phone to discuss my child. No Thanks!!! Good luck to anyone who chooses this place to watch your kids.

We are truly blessed to have found Seven Branches Academy. Our oldest starts PreK at SBA this week, our 2 year old will soon move into their preschool class and our son starts in the infant room next week. I cannot say enough nice words about this school and what they have done for our family. Mrs. Joyce is always loving and caring (but firm) to our girls. Miss Amy knows exactly what to say to turn any frown upside down. Miss Jez, Miss Ashley, Mrs. M & Mrs. Stina are just a few of the teachers my girls know and love. We are very happy that Mrs. Joyce had this calling. The faith based knowledge that our kids are learning is priceless. We love SBA!

I dont have enough words to express how blessed I am for having my daughter for almost two years attending at seven branches.Here we feel so loved!!!! Mrs Joyce, Miss Amy , Miss Kathy and all the other teachers treat each child as part of a big family.My baby grew and today is her last day here. I am heartbroken. I just hope she will keep in her heart all the moral and spiritual fundaments she learned here.She calls Mrs Joyce Nana and she loves her as much as she loves her grandmas; this is something that amazes me because only a marvelous and special woman can get such love and respect from the kids.Love that is not only said, but showed with attitudes.We love you Mrs Joyce and Miss Amy thanks for everything. We feel God in your lives and He may be with you always.With loveMelissa, Nathalia and Danylo Freitas
