I want to begin by saying there are many wonderful teachers at Peachtree Road Lutheran Preschool who care deeply for the children. During our son’s time there, certain educators were the primary reason we stayed as long as we did.
Unfortunately, our experience with the school administration was the polar opposite.
It is telling that throughout our time at the school, the only person who ever made an attempt to understand our concerns was the Financial Director—and this only happened after we officially withdrew our child and demanded our money back. In her own correspondence, the Financial Director admitted that the school had not previously given us the opportunity to express our frustrations over the events of the past year and a half. This highlights how this administration views its relationships: as financial transactions rather than a partnership in childcare.
The following issues led to our "for cause" withdrawal:
• Serious Supervision Failure: A child was left unsupervised and exited school grounds, which is a fundamental breach of safety standards.
• When we raised concerns about the overall safety and security of the school, the administration’s response was dismissive and unprofessional. In fact, the response to us included the confusing and worrisome statement that “the chef knows karate.”
• Administrative Dishonesty: We caught the Director in multiple lies regarding program operations. Specifically, she provided false information on at least three occasions about moving children to accommodate increased infant enrollment.
• Extreme Staff Instability: Our child’s classroom cycled through seven lead teachers in approximately 18 months.
• Regulatory Non-Compliance: We witnessed the Director bringing a dog into a "pet-free" facility and allowing it to roam in the kitchen area.
Most disturbing is the culture of fear within the school. Multiple lead teachers expressed concerns directly to us that they feared termination for raising safety or regulatory issues. Since then, I have heard audio recordings of these educators being fired. The aggressive and condescending way the administration speaks to these teachers is sickening. It has made it clear to me that they have no place being around children or leading people.
When we tried to address these issues, we were told that if we were dissatisfied, we were "free to leave." We chose to do exactly that. It is disappointing that a school claiming to lead with "wisdom and compassion" only showed interest in our perspective once their "bottom line" was impacted.
I'm glad these people work at a church; they clearly need Jesus.
P. S. I’m still working to get my deposit back.
Update: only after I filed in small claims court did they give me my money back.

Thank you for recognizing the many wonderful teachers at Peachtree Road Lutheran Preschool. We are incredibly proud of our teachers and the love, care, and dedication they show our children every day.
We are sorry that your family’s overall experience did not reflect the relationship we strive to build with every PRLP family. We take concerns involving children’s safety and well-being seriously, and we do not dismiss concerns brought to our attention. In response to safety and security concerns, additional measures have also been put into place to strengthen security throughout our program.
Our responsibility is to continue reviewing concerns appropriately, following applicable policies and requirements, and working to provide a safe, loving, and supportive environment for the children and families entrusted to our care.
Regarding financial matters associated with withdrawal, those are handled directly and privately in accordance with the school’s enrollment agreements and policies.
We genuinely wish your family and your son well in his next school community.

My wife and I are so thankful for Peachtree Road Lutheran Preschool. When our previous school unexpectedly closed, we found PRLP in the scramble to find a new school, and we're so glad we did. From the first day, the staff has made our family feel welcome, and it's clear how much they care about the children in their classrooms.
A special shout-out to Ms. Bridgett, our son's pre-K teacher. At just four years old, he's already writing and spelling at a level well beyond what we expected for his age, and each day he's excited to go to school. She teaches with patience and real enthusiasm, and it shows in how much he loves going being there. The environment is warm, safe, and nurturing, and we always feel confident leaving our kids in such caring hands.
We highly recommend Peachtree Road Lutheran Preschool to any family looking for a loving, high-quality start to their child's education.

Our family has been part of the PRLP community for over 10 years. While things have changed over time, speaking from our experience, the amazing teachers and quality of care have always stayed the same. Every teacher my children had treated them like their own, creating an environment where they felt safe and happy.
My older kids entered kindergarten confident and well prepared, and I know my youngest will too. We’re so grateful for the strong foundation that PRLP has given our children.
