Welcome to Childcare Network Athens Cedar Shoals Drive, where we pride ourselves on being a high-quality early learning center. My name is Jestina Faraj, and I am the school Director. At our school, we strive to ensure that parents feel safe and secure leaving their children with us and that those children leave every day smiling. We know that early education is integral in establishing a solid foundation for their child's educational journey. Our goal for students is to foster an environment where each child can challenge themselves and achieve success. As many of our staff are parents themselves, we understand how rewarding and demanding a parent's role can sometimes be, especially as a working parent. We are committed to providing a supportive community for the families we serve. We all want our students to be happy, nurtured, and provided with the best learning opportunities. Our staff members provide a safe environment and nurture your child on their learning journey while giving them the freedom to explore and develop in a warm and caring environment. Feel free to stop in for a tour or call to speak with a team member. We look forward to the opportunity to build a long-lasting relationship with your family

8/9/2026I really appreciated Mrs. D, she made sure families stayed on top of payments ensuring flexibility as well. Which is is essential in this economy to refrain from family unenrolling! Also, she was very nice to everyone, and truly loved the children! Again, this is hard to find. Her amazing staff also contributed to the awesome feedback! They TRULY CARE! Please stop switching directors, it leaves families unsure and nervous about new management and doesn’t leave us feeling secure about children safety and happiness! Please bring her BACK :)

7/22/2026Even though the building is a little older, don't let that fool you! The center is full of warmth. What truly sets this childcare center apart is the caring and dedicated staff. They create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children are encouraged to learn, grow, and have fun every day. If you're looking for a childcare center with a welcoming atmosphere, experienced staff, and a focus on your child's development, this is a wonderful choice. While the building may show a little age, the quality of care and the people inside make it an exceptional place for children.

7/18/2026We LOVE Ms.D and her staff. Going in for the first day we immediately felt that soft , family love. My girl doesn’t cry at drop off and they have even been able to get her to start napping. They are very accommodating with her needs (& wants) & I feel confident that she is comfortable, safe and well taken care of each day!

11/14/2025My child has been in the program since months of age. I was so nervous to give her into someone else’s hands. Every teacher adores my child. My child is always happy and excited to see everyone. They have great communication skills and I never have to question anything. If I do, I just ask and they give me direct answers or recommendations. Ms. D & Ms. Maxine spoil my child as if their own. Every teacher greets you and you never feel like a stranger or just a parent dropping off. They all do a wonderful job redirecting children’s behavior and the kids are always watched with no one left out. I highly recommend this facility. Also, they do cute activities with take home art and picture day. It’s a great way for kids to prepare how school will be for them.

5/15/2025I can’t say enough good things about the Childcare Network in Athens. After recently moving all four of my daughters in with me, finding the right care for them was a top priority—and Mrs. D and the amazing women there have been nothing short of a blessing. They’ve made my daughters feel loved, welcomed, and completely at ease. The staff truly goes above and beyond, and their kindness and care mean the world to us. They are second to none!
