Both my children went through DP starting as infants and we really enjoyed the school and staff. The teachers are amazing and most have been there many years. The administration really cares about every family and is very involved in all classes. The parents are engaged and communication is great, cannot say enough good things. We miss DP and everyone!

I cannot say enough good things about this school. So, I say school rather than day care because our 5 year old learned so much. He was learning without even knowing. The teachers were so good and helped our son mature so much in the year we were there.We moved to the area during the summer and they welcomed us in with open arms. They have so many activities and events for the kids/parents that it really enhanced his experience and ours.The better news is that he was so well prepared for Kindergarten. He is ahead of the rest of his classmates thanks to Dunwoody Prep. I will never forget our time at Dunwoody Prep, they were incredible.

We had both of our children at Dunwoody Prep for years. Both Jane and Edye were wonderful to interact with on all of the operations of the school, they always were open to parent feedback and worked hard to ensure the kids were happy. The teachers that the kids had were nothing short of wonderful. They were all kind and caring and took personal interest in the kids success and happiness.I highly recommend Dunwoody prep based on our experience.

Ive lived in Atlanta for decades and this place has always been amazing. Ive noticed lately that the owner Jane is kind if letting to place roll down hill. There is no more test to see if the kids are eligible its almost becoming a daycare because the kids that arent screened are taking time and education away from the screened children. Also Ive noticed the staff is going down hill. If you cant speak a full sentence in proper English to me I dont want you teach my kids how to talk. I dont want my kids first words to be sup or anything else said in these rap songs.

BEWARE of Money-minded JERKS! Specially Jane Newman. Youll find her the sweetest one on First Day of your visit. She plays well with your mind and make sure to get every penny from your pocket in the name of many things.Ensure the class your kid will be enrolled for and what else is there to offer by this Business (not a school).Others (Edye and Donna) will only listen to her. They cant take any decision on their own.

We couldnt have asked for a better preschool experience for our son who joined Dunwoody Prep at the age of 3 and then graduated to kindergarten in a public school.Pros:1. The DP experience prepares kids for kindergarten very, very well - academics, social interaction, adjustment to a school routine. All DP families that we knew, have echoed this observation.2. Teachers and staff are very warm and friendly - kids love to go to school here. We really enjoyed interacting with all the teachers and staff.3. In-house chef and kitchen - parents can actually walk by the kitchen and know what is being cooked and prepared.4. The classrooms and the school building itself is very small. That IMO great for kids aged below 5 to develop confidence.5. Teacher and staff encourage kids to talk openly and freely. At least for the time we were there, it seemed like most teachers respected and nurtured individual personalities, in most cases.6. They encourage celebration of international holidays and exposing kids to different cultures.Cons:1. Super long wait lists.2. A bit on the pricey side.3. Do not have half-day or part-time options - this would have been a big pro for us.4. Some teachers seemed to be going too much by the book when it came to annual parent-teacher meetings about how did your child do?. This was not a big con though because benchmarking lets you know how your kid is doing, after all. Also it kind of prepares the parents for public school :).But overall, we have LOVED to see our son blossom and grow at DP. Definitely one of Dunwoodys best preschools and daycare centers for young kids. Highly recommend.

Thoroughly loved our years in Dunwoody Prep. My kid never wanted to skip a day. The teachers are very warm and welcoming and open to feedbacks. The school has an efficient, stable and hard working management/ admin team. Even the school chef gets an all star. There are several events/activities for parents to stay connected with the school curriculum and that certainly always makes it special for the kids and for families.Talking about Pre-K program, the teachers worked very hard to motivate each child to do his/her very best in a fun learning environment. The kids graduating from Dunwoody Prep are well prepared for Kindergarten and beyond - socially and academically. Learning centers were very well planned, the crafts were interesting and innovative(kids enjoyed working on those), loved the writings of the kids hanging on the wall and the list goes on.... ..There were two recitals for the final year and it was wonderfully executed by the kids and the teachers - speaks volumes about the team work. Lastly, a lot of emphasis was laid on the life skills, my kid still quotes & tries to follow things she learnt from her teachers at Dunwoody Prep.Will always recommend the school to other families. It is a very good school with the added advantage of the flexibility of a quality day care.

Jane Newman who is the executive director jokes about it becoming an all girls school because she dislikes boys. Edye Disner is very lazy and shows up when she wants to. Dunwoody prep is behind VERY behind on curriculum and technology. I work in the educational field and I can tell you this place is not worth the money. The place is falling apart and they couldn’t care less about working parents. All they care about is money and whether or not your kid will sit down and be quiet. I am so happy my son is no longer there.
