Help! Recommendations for Childcare Brookhaven/Chamblee/Buckhead Area

NiqueMC13

Does anyone have any recommendations for childcare centers or in home day cares in the Brookhaven, Chamblee or Buckhead area? I am due in August and think I may have waited a bit too long to find childcare and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Also, please let me know if anyone is interested in sharing a nanny in the areas listed. I would not need childcare till November, when I go back to work.

Any information or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a million!

I'm a big fan of the Elaine Clark Center: https://www.elaineclarkcenter.org/

Look into Dunwoody Prep in Chamblee Dunwoody, Creme de la Creme in Buckhead, and The Goddard school also in Buckhead.

I hear great things about Brookhaven United Methodist CDC. But they are usually full for infants from siblings. It is worth a tour and putting your name on the wait list (free). There is also a newer daycare that I know nothing about at N. Druid and & Briarcliff.

 We ended up going the nanny route because we didn't get into United Methodist Center. It has worked well for us. There are a lot of people who nanny share in our neighborhood. If your community has a email list, reach out to see if there is a pregnant mom  who might want to go in with you. Hiring of nannies takes place usually 6 weeks or so before they start as they won't want to be on hold waiting for you to go back to work.

 Good luck!

The chastain school came highly recommended to me. Wieuca baptist church was also recommended to me. And a friend had a bad experience with Suzuki she and another mom there ended up pulling ther kids out to do a mommy share. I thought the Goddard school woman on the phone was way too pushy, but I hear very good things about the brand. I started looking at both Buckhead and midtown, but settled on midtown. After my friend's raves, I would have looked a chastain school if it wasn't been so far north in relation to my home and work. Good luck!! I know how stressful that search can be

We loved the Chastain School.  We only left because we moved.  They open a new infant room every 3 months so they usually have space.  What I loved most is that the kids stay with the same class and teachers until they turn 3 and the ratio is 1:4 so they get a lot of individual attention.  It is a little pricey--we were paying 1460--but it was well worth it.
